Tips For Writing Effective Music Blogs On MySpace

without comments

You don’t have to be a great writer to create a memorable music-related blog on MySpace. All you need are a few good band stories, gig stories, or an observational take on the music industry to start a blog. Once fans and others begin reading it, they will want to know more about your music and where you will be playing next. This is how to drive more traffic to your profile page.


The following tips can help you in writing a blog that is informative, opinionated, and entertaining. While you want to promote your sound, blogs should contain other info fans find funny and interesting. If you can build a relationship with fans, they will automatically visit your profile page and download music, check out band photos, and plan on attending your next gig.


Tip #1: Keep Your Blog Simple and Fun


Blogs are meant to be small glimpses into your life as a musician, your opinions about the industry, and a way to generate interest of fans and hopefully record labels. Bog your blog down with technical info, boring stories, and too many commercial plugs, and you will lose people very quickly.


When creating posts, try to write in a conversational tone (pretend you are talking with band mates or fans at a music event).
