Online marketing in the music business
 Brian Currin |
Currin, in his presentation, described the number of free or “freemium” (free premium) platforms available to anyone with online access that may help build a brand – “a band is a brand” and in using these resources, “your only cost is your time,” says Currin.
Currin described the three elements any band or artist should aim to gain from online marketing:
1. Your fans need to be able to find you
2. They must be able to trust you
3. They must be able to engage with you
The three pillars of online marketing, according to Currin, are; content, SEO and social media marketing aka new media. Currin prescribes WordPress as the way to go for blogging. Other suggested social media platforms include Twitter, Soundcloud and Fanbridge. With Facebook one should invest in maybe a profile page, but definitely a group (for the like-minded) as well as a page. Facebook pages allow you to view statistics on those who have registered as fans and you’ll be able to grasp your demographic at ease.
Another online tool, that however isn’t free, is to purchase a domain name. Having a website means being able to embed your blog and Twitter feeds, plus you can use Google Analytics to keep track of your stats. Currin mentioned another important point in running a website – make sure it is optimised for search engines or you will be lost in the information super highway. Go to www.seoworkers.com for more information.
Currin believes your music should always be available digitally – be it for sale, or as promotional free giveaways – the platforms he recommends are RhythmMusicStore.com, SAMP3.com or Channel24.

Recommendation from Mynie Grove
Brian Currin would be a buddy if one could pry him away from his rabid clients – everyone wants his time and talents, and not for nothing: he is as reliable as the sun, pragmatic and no-nonsense. What you see is what you get, what you get is good value, and that value translates to visibility and steadfast business development and growth.
He is a music-business-junkie, a music-business-stalwart and a music-business-supporter. You will have to dig deep and far to get that combination in an optimally functional combination, but here it is. You bring it, he delivers!

Feedback from Wiltel Marine
We have used Brian’s service on a number of our websites over the past few years. He has always provided a high level of service and has been available 24/7 if need be. He has a very good knowledge on integrating the various social networking and internet marketing opportunities available today. Great to see someone who is passionate about work. It makes working with him a real pleasure.

Feedback from Africa’s Child
Brian Currin has been in control of my Online Marketing since 2008. He is pro-active and he continually searches for better options and ways to raise the profile of my business. He is quick and efficient when he is busy with a project. He makes himself available to his clients at hours that suite his client and not at fixed office hours. I highly recommend Brian Currin as an Online Marketer.
