Let’s face it, your music is great, but if you could just get it into the right hands, then the whole

world would know your music. So. What are you doing about it? Are you making yourself viral?

Who’s Tweeting about you? What buzz are you creating for yourself? Studio execs can like your music but if you don’t have a platform already

built, they may pass on you. You may have thought Twitter was a waste of time before, but after

reading this, I think you’ll begin to see it as a tool you should have been using the whole time.

Happy Tweeting!@WeShopSongs

Introduction To Tweet A Record Deal

Twitter is built on the concept of micro-blogging, in which people write short, frequent posts that don’t exceed 140 characters. Those 140-character posts are known as tweets. Tweets are a form of micro-blogging

that have enabled musicians to share massive amounts of data in the form of short messages. Twitter is a network with members throughout the world. When you post a tweet, a record label in Hollywood and a Music Publisher in Paris can read it at the same time. Imagine the possibilities for your cloud music business!

Gain A Massive Amount Of Targeted Fans!

• Explain to your followers what re-tweeting is and encourage them to re-tweet your links. Re-Tweeting pushes your @username into foreign social graphs, resulting in clicks back to your profile.

• Fill out your bio. Your latest tweets and @replies don’t mean much to someone that doesn’t know you. Your bio is the only place you have to tell people who you are. Also, your bio is displayed on Twitter’s Suggested Users page. Leaving it blank or non-descriptive doesn’t encourage people to add you.

• Put links to your Twitter profile everywhere. Link it on your Youtube, LinkedIn, Facebook, website, email, and everywhere else online.

• Tweet about your passions in life and #hash tag them. Quality content coupled with an easy way to find it never fails. If others enjoy your content, they’ll add you. Learn more about #hash tagging here.

• Bring your Twitter account into the physical world. Every time I give a talk, speak on a panel, shoot a podcast, present slides, or hand out business cards, I figure out a way to broadcast or display my Twitter account.

• Take pictures. Pictures are heavily re-tweeted/spread around.

• Start a contest.

• Follow the top Twitter users and watch what they tweet. Pay attention to the type of content they sent out and how they address their audiences.

• Reply to/get involved in #hash tag memes . search.Twitter.com lists the hot ‘trending topics. Look for the #hash topics and jump in on the conversation (see #4 for links to #hash instructions).

• Track your results. TwitterCounter will show you how many new users you’re adding per day and Qwitter will email you when someone unfollows you after a tweet.

Who, What, Where, When Why And HOW TO TWEET!

www.WeShopSongs.com

Know what your followers want

I won’t assume that what your followers want are the same things my followers want, but I think it’s safe to say that most people on Twitter want to:

1 Get cool links to click on (and distract them from the work they’re supposed to be doing ).

2 Get something worth replying to and having a conversation over.

3 Get something worth re-tweeting to their own followers.

4 Feel closer to others they like.
