I have a couple tips to help you gain a little more exposure. You might be able to increase your fan base and make some extra sales too.

TIP #1
Are you a musician who performs in Secondlife?
Do you have an original song on MP3?
May we offer a little added exposure in SL?

DJ CapnJac Blazer, co-owner of MJ’s Blues and Dance Club, adds SL musician’s MP3s to his play lists when he has gigs. With your permission, and only if you have rights to the song, he would like to be able to add your song to his list too.

The reaction DJ CapnJac gets when he spins an SL musician’s tune is nothing less than amazing. People stop to listen and ask “Who is this?” When are they performing again?”.

It’s usually a DJ that gets a new song or artist introduced to the masses. What DJ CapnJac does is no different. He announces he has an SL musician, or more, in his play list and blends them in.

If you want to add one to DJ CapnJac’s playlist, contact him in-world. Secondlife name; CapnJac Blazer

TIP #2
This tip might involve a little work, but will indeed increase sales. If you record your music, even create albums to sell, I’m pretty sure recording sessions don’t always go as plan. And I’m also confident, 99% of mistakes are recorded and edited out later.

All mistakes should be corrected before they become regrets. Before editing and deleting those mistakes, consider creating a bloopers CD.

Here’s where it gets interesting….
Don’t put the bloopers up for sale by itself. You actually give it away to a limited number of people that buy a CD from you. But on your sale description, you mention when the sale ends, the bloopers CD will be for sale by itself and 10% of the proceeds go to a charity.

To help people decide to buy your CD, give them a free MP3 of one of your best, not the best, but one of the best, originals from the album. Mention the bloopers CD on the free MP3 page so people will act fast.

Here’s why it works with a bloopers CD.
Many SL performers have a good following already. As a fan of several musicians myself, I know SL musicians are more open with their fans than others. Fans know your personality. One of things I hear most from people that come to MJ’s Blues is how much fun they have. When fans get your bloopers CD, they’ll listen to that before the album because they know how much fun you are in SL. They’ll share it with their real life friends, and before you know it, your fan base grew a little.

Something else to consider,
When advertising on websites, for instance adding a banner or logo with your link to a site to display to their visitors, it really is ok to go cheap sometimes. It really depends on the site. Make sure the site is geared towards entertainment. Even if the site has little traffic, you still want people to start seeing your ad everywhere.

Using Google or other real big name sites that offer ad placement is expensive! You really can get more exposure for the dollar when going cheap and everywhere. Just because 80% of websites have a Google ad box doesn’t mean your ad will be displayed. You’ll go through more money with less results a lot faster using the big names.

So remember, it’s ok to go cheap, sometimes they are the best exposure for your dollars.

If you have any sugestions, please feel free to add them here. Do not advertise or your post will be deleted without notice. If you want to advertise, we have a section for that
