You need to get your music online. There are some places that are free and some have a fee, but the most important thing is to get the songs online, then you can link to them from your webpage or have them on the same page.&lt;br&gt; People need to hear your music.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some good places to get your music hosted are &lt;A HREF="http://www.subexpanse.com" target="_blank"&gt;Subexpanse.com&lt;/A&gt;  and &lt;A HREF="http://www.garageband.com" target="_blank"&gt;GarageBand.com&lt;/A&gt; &lt;br&gt; Garage band is competitive and may dump your music if you dont get through the competition. SubExpanse is straight hosting. They will keep your music up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email me more news or ideas as you have them&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6120854-107467378308938628?l=kaylalelugas.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6120854/posts/default/107467378308938628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6120854/posts/default/107467378308938628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaylalelugas.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_archive.html#107467378308938628' title=''/><author><name>Kayla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07966585468451377060</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120854.post-106971864582868934</id><published>2003-11-24T16:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-04-10T23:23:30.153-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hey everyone, so I wanted to set up this Blog to list cool links to sites that help unsigned bands promote themselves, to the DIY or get signed, whatever they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please link to me or bookmark because I think this stuff will be useful, and I'll keep adding as much as I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly a band must have a web prescence. You have to have a website. If you cant afford one get an &lt;A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com" target="_blank"&gt;Angelfire &lt;/A&gt; site or you might still be able to get your music onto  &lt;A HREF="http://www.mp3.com" target="_blank"&gt;MP3.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.subexpanse.com" target="_blank"&gt;SubExpanse&lt;/A&gt; is a new one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another cool way to get your music onto the web is through your lyrics. You can post them at &lt;A HREF="http://www.palacegallery.com" target="_blank"&gt;Palace Gallery Song Lyrics&lt;/A&gt;, &lt;A HREF="http://www.indie-lyrics.com" target="_blank"&gt;Indie Lyrics&lt;/A&gt; or&lt;br /&gt; &lt;A HREF="http://www.lyrics.com" target="_blank"&gt;Lyrics.com&lt;/A&gt; (pop-ups). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how do you PROMOTE your site or your lyrics, obviuosly hand out fliers around your town, but on the web, you might want to join a Topsites site like &lt;A HREF="http://apigtop50.scratchyourbutt.com/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;APIG Sites&lt;/A&gt;  or &lt;A HREF="http://www.ultimatetopsites.com/music/" target="_blank"&gt;Ultimate topsites&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once oyur site is up, you need to get it onto search engines, and best place to achieve this is through &lt;A HREF="http://selfpromotion.com" target="_blank"&gt;Self Promotion&lt;/A&gt; its free and effective for smaller sites.&lt;br /&gt;FOr Google, the most important site &lt;A HREF="http://www.google.com/addurl.html" target="_blank"&gt;Go here&lt;/A&gt;. The other main site, and hardest one is &lt;A HREF="http://dmoz.org/" target="_blank"&gt;DMOZ&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALso hit up your Local Scene band directories like &lt;A HREF="http://www.local-bands.net/" target="_blank"&gt;Local-Bands.net&lt;/A&gt; or &lt;A HREF="http://www.localbands.net/" target="_blank"&gt;Local Bands.net&lt;/A&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most invaluable resource for DIY bands is &lt;A HREF="http://byofl.org" target="_blank"&gt;Book Your Own Fucking Life&lt;/A&gt;, a partner of Maximum Rock'nRoll magazine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check all these out and you can choose for yourself which ones will be good for you and yours ituation.&lt;br /&gt;More info soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favorite Indie film:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;A HREF="http://www.7sharpthemovie.com/" target="_blank"&gt;7 Sharp &lt;/A&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favorite Indie band at the moment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.theserotonins.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Serotonins&lt;/A&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.reisendermusic.com " target="_blank"&gt;Reisender&lt;/A&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.enterblackcastle.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Black Castle&lt;/A&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favorite Drug at the moment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.presearch.ws/topics/health/phentermine" target="_blank"&gt;Phentermine&lt;/A&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.simmies3rd.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;New Links&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kayla&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://beforeafter.specialsnowflake.com/" &gt;Before and after&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Click below for a cool Blog&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://blogsnob.simpleads.net/ad/10906" type="text/javascript"&gt;blogsnob. show off your websites. http://blogsnob.simpleads.net&lt;/script&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6120854-106971864582868934?l=kaylalelugas.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6120854/posts/default/106971864582868934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6120854/posts/default/106971864582868934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kaylalelugas.blogspot.com/2003_11_01_archive.html#106971864582868934' title=''/><author><name>Kayla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07966585468451377060</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
