Besides
creating music, I’ve found a platform for musicians to share and sell their
music. The site is called ReverbNation. It’s just like Soundcloud, where a
musician can upload, share and promote their music. ReverbNation offers a better
opportunity to musicians such as connect with industry professionals and fans.
This site also provides tools, applications and services for musicians to
launch their music career. It’s a great way to communicate with fans. ReverbNation was launched in 2006 and
been successful ever since. Their main goal is to advance a musician’s career. I
really do think it’s a great site for musicians to manage their career. By browsing
through the site, I can tell they take musician very seriously. It looks
professional, clean and vibrant. There
are more opportunities for an artist such as performances, placements on
TV/Film and music for big brands.
Artists mainly perform in music festivals such as Summerfest, HardRock,
Firefly and many more. It’s a great way to gain fans. ReverbNation has a
feature called Crowd Picks. It’s when everyday people can listen to your music
and let’s ReverbNation know what the listener likes. This is how ReverbNation
determines top song and artist on the site. It’s pretty cool when your music
gets a little fame in front of the site. ReverbNation provides the best for
musicians. There are tools that they provide to create your profile. Tools such press kit, site builder, widgets
and apps. This set of tools is for musician, who wants to professionally present
him or herself for Industry professionals. There are tools for engaging with
fans such as FanReach and SocialSync. Musician use these tools for connecting
with fans through emails and social media with one click. The best tool that
they have is selling your music directly to fans on their profile or through digital
distribution. Musician can sell their music on streaming services and gets to
keep both rights and royalties. If you want to take your music career to the next
level check out ReverbNation. Some people don’t want to pay the whole price so
there are different price options.
