Get on music blogs. Gain massive exposure. This is how!

Front Blog placements for musicians. Get on music blogs:

There is a big misconception when it comes to blog placements. Most people think that all you have to do is submit your song or video and you will be placed. This is not always the case. Luck certainly plays a part.

Here’s how it works. It’s based on a few different factors.

• The blogs must absolutely love you
• your video goes viral and they pick it up naturally
• you pay them directly for ad space
• you pay a PR company to present you which increases your chance at major placement.

With Bigger blogs gaining millions of hits per month, it makes it harder to get placed for free. Most blogs sell direct ad space to their customers. The bigger the blog, the more you have to pay per ad. The bigger the real estate you take up, the higher the cost.

90% of the time, these blogs only have a certain amount of slots that are available per day. They don’t want to give up those slots for free.

A lot of artists are interested in gaining front page blog posts. Below is a checklist you want to follow, before you start investing in blog promotion.

• Make sure before you invest in blog placement that you have a foundation built. You want to have an audience that pays attention to your music. First impression is key in this business.
• Brand yourself and create clarity on your social media channels. Master ONE thing. Be the artist you want to be. Own it.
• Focus on one single at a time. Don’t be the artist that puts out a song every week or month. It’s not beneficial and this is what everyone does. You want to act as if you’re a major act already. One single per 2-3 months is the best way to garner concentrated attention.
• Make sure you have your EPK finished and your professional bio set and ready. Each single you release should come with a single description. A song bio if you will. Make sure it’s 400-500 words. We suggest taking new photos per single so that you are armed with the right materials to submit.

The next step is to figure out which blogs you would like to be featured on. If you’re not looking to pay direct to the blog owner or pay a PR Company, then we suggest starting with smaller blogs to increase your chances at placement.
