TweetWith the guide over, your routine is ready to put into fruition.  There are a number of services you can take advantage of with certain strategies as well as the continual communication flow between yourself and your web presence’s visitors.

Some of the promotional ideas you could aim to do once a month could be a diggourband event(A mass of people digging a certain news post or piece of content to get to Diggs front pages), or to try to release a song.  It could even be to try and add 100 new friends on Myspace.  With the following strategy ideas try and keep it simple and implement one or two into your regular routine.

• The rest includes content creation with blog posts or forum topics/replies.
• Mail list, with feedburner this is also a part of your blog posts.
• Stats, log with screenshots once a week.

Your routine can be the only part you put in to practice after the guide has been finished, if you see fit.  We would recommend however to brainstorm new ideas for promotion and marketing online.

Routine Ideas

First Share

This is a major part of your first routine task,  you are starting the ball rolling here for your digital presence.  The more you do now, the less you can get away with doing in the future if you want to spend the majority of time on your art.

Here you will be expressing your aims through to your family and friends using the social services that you and they are already on, you could also access them by e-mail, Myspace and even texting.

With Facebook you can send messages through your own personal profiles to them to start things off.

• What we ‘the band’ are doing
• What they can do for you
• A BIG thankyou

This first share utilizes some of ideas that  the e-team use.  It should show them that you mean business before hopefully they help to aid you with your startup web presence.

• Your first step is to write up the content that you wish to share, ideally it is aimed specifically at your friends and family and hopefully their close friends to
• Make it short and include direct link’s to your homepage, facebook fan page and finally your stumbleupon account
• We are not trying to make them complete a lot of work for you, just things which will really help you and are also easy
• Once you have registered and signed in to StumbleUpon, head to the submit site url

Add your domain name, hopefully you are here first before any one else.  As the part after is the topic of your website, try to use the keywords wisely and keep it to a couple.

Once added, it is ready to be shared.

Change the domain at the end to yours, and it should show below in the second green box.

This is the link you will be sending with your first share, along with facebook fan page and  most importantly your home page, you could always send your twitter or rss feed too.

You just need to fill in the relevant parts, such as Stumbleupon registration and how to become a fan of you on Facebook

The more that can be done now between your band members and there closest, the better things will look from the start.

If a three piece band had 200-300 friends on facebook per member, there is potential for 900 fan’s straight away.

You should emphasize on making sure that they complete these three tasks you ask of them and then even give them something in return

Junk Mail

If you receive any junk mail at home, in your inbox  or on any of the e-mail accounts you have, why not reply with a link to your band’s homepage?  Google changes it’s search engine’s algorythm around 500 times a year so we will always really be guessing with how our web authorities increase, luckily some seep through and one of these is whether people go directly to your website without searching. So receiving a few more hits a month is no bad thing, there may even be a human at the end of your reply so you don’t have much to loose.
