iStock 000019273571XSmall 300x199 The #1 Website Mistake Musicians MakeThe biggest mistake we see artists make when promoting a new release is sending fans to a website that’s not their own artist website.

Promoters, bookers, venues and fans - they all know the difference between a free web page (MySpace, Facebook, Bandcamp, Tumblr) and a professional artist website (www.YOU.com).

Social media sites are super-important, but they should not be your home base on the web. Get your own domain name and build a website where you can control the fan experience and easily build your email list. It’s one of the first steps to becoming a professional musician.

Don’t have a website? You can build a pro website in minutes with HostBaby and easily manage all your online music promotions from one place.

    Is that how you find new music, in 30 second snippets? Seriously? Music is personal and important to me and deserves more than the sample table treatment you find at trader joes. Music is more important than fish sticks.
