Audio On The Web - How To Do It With Ease
David Hooper
It always amazes me at how many bands and musicians don't have
audio on their web sites. Doing so increases sales of your
album and makes it easier to get people to come out to gigs, so
why wouldn't you?
There are usually two reasons:
1. People are scared to giveaway their music because "people
don't buy what they get for free."
This isn't true and the best example I can think of to
illustrate the point is bottled water. People can get water for
free, of basically free, but they pay a premium to have it in a
nice container.
Why wouldn't they do the same with your music?
2. People don't have the technical skills to do it.
If this applies to you, get Audio Generator because you simply
upload your music to their servers, they give you a snippet of
HTML to add to your site, and you'll be up and running within a
couple of minutes.
Another great thing about Audio Generator is that you can call
in a message via telephone and then send out an "audio
greeting" to your mailing list. This is VERY powerful for
getting people to take action.
For example, you could record a message which said, "Hey, this
is Dan from Band X and we're playing tomorrow night at Club Z.
Mention this message and I'll buy you a beer."
Whatever... You get the idea.
Audio is a powerful way to strengthen your relationship with
your audience.
Thanks to Music Business Radio and the audio books I've
released, a lot of people know what my voice sounds like, but
before I had all of this, I had to work twice as hard by
hitting people face-to-face.
Don't work so hard! Use technology to help you create and
expand your customer relationships.
And speaking of voice stuff, I highly recommend Audio C4. This
book has excellent instruction on how to create audio messages
that sell. In addition, you'll come off like top voice talent,
rather than some guy who has never spoken to a crowd before.
