Band Promotion Project

The Band Promotion Project is a practical approach to promoting your band's website. I aim to increase the number of visitors to your website, find missed promotional opportunities and ultimately, increase your fan base. I do not aim to change your band's image, your sound or the look and feel of your website.

I am NOT a band promoter in the traditional sense (I do not arrange gigs/bookings), UnsignedBandPromotion is Website Promotion. I help musicians and artists to get their websites noticed by fans, search engines and the music industry in half the time they could do it on their own, and UnsignedBandPromotion is the worlds best free website promotion resource and service for independent bands. I do not get hands-on and help bands to promote MySpace, PureVolume and profiles in general, or FreeWebs, Yahoo! GeoCities, LYCOS.tripod and other free webhosting type of pages - *You need a real Website*.

I am experimenting with a number of website promotion methods for independent bands, if you've got a website get in contact and we'll get the ball rolling - it is free and there is no sign-up.

Independent Bands & Band Promotion

Getting the basics right can have a big impact on how well your website performs from a marketing and promotional point of view. And to that end I would recommend giving your band's website a check - you can do it yourself. But, promoting your band Online and having a Web presence isn't only a matter of having a website, a band needs an overall marketing and promotional strategy, UnsignedBandPromotion offers advice, free practical help and support - you've just got to ask!

My focus Is always on your website, this is not Search Engine Optimisation (SEO - even though it may look like it), this is band promotion from a slightly different angle.

DIY Website Check « You need to give yourself a website check because many of the independent bands' websites I've viewed have not passed the most basic test of "being number one in the search engines for the their band's name". Often a simple website tweak and free advice would solve their problem. » The DIY Website Check.
Website Tweak! « The smallest little tweak can make a big difference to your website. My aim here is to be innovative and suggest new ideas that will help increase the success of an independent band's website and ultimately, you. We're talking website promotion. » How to get your website tweaked.
