Three Essential Sites for Any Musician

The following is a list of the three pages I use and frequent to help utilize, and promote my music, and my friends, digitally. And no, I'm not talking about MySpace.

1. Reverb Nation

Reverb Nation is an essential online promotion tool that every spawning indipendant musician can use to chart and design their growth. Its fun to use, and so full of tools, that there is no reason for you to not use this site. Your most valuable tool is a great looking music widget that contain songs, pics, videos, show dates, and store. You can see in depth stats covering every angle of your on and offline prescence, and even gives you a score on your potential equity as a group, or individual.

2. SnoCap

SnoCap (recently purchased by the Network Site iMeem) is your first stop for turning your tacks into money. If you have an album, or just some songs, or maybe samples, you can set them all up for available download, at a price you determine. You have to make it at least .39 or else the site wont make any profit. Simple to use, and semi-effective, it's a great start for someone with a product to sell. Hopefully we will se some fun new features now that iMeem has purchased the site.

3. Spreadshirt

So maybe you have a logo for your band, but you want to have more product to have it placed on. Well, spreadshirt enables you to be able to paste your logo, or saying, or whatever on to a ton of different kinds of merchandise. Everything from T-shirts and ladies underwear, to pins, messenger bags, hats, and mouse pads. The only down side is you will have to pay at retail price to recieve your own shirts, but it is still better than no product at all.
