Promoting a Music Forum


What are some ways to promote a new music forum?

I've acquired a new music forum, and looking for some ways to spread the word and form a nice community.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys can come up with.

Re: Promoting a Music Forum


I was thinking about this myself when I saw that you purchased GlobeSound.

Music, in general, has a ton of potential for monetization. But, I'm sure you're talking about creating the 'community' first.

I would start to get some folks involved by posting pictures and have a 'favorite band' story contest or something along those lines. Get folks interacting.

Videos on youtube with the url on the video.
Podcasts
Interviews with bands
Handing out flyers near music venues, flyers under car wipers, etc.

I was thinking about the YouTube with url idea.. Finding hottest music videos and inserting my URL at bottom of the video, but is that legal? I see lots of people doing it... I have to look into it.

The new britney video would have been a good one...you know for sure that people will be searching for that one.

Maybe not put the url directly into the video but create a username which is the url, something like that. I've seen some users have a banner or pic in their profile under their username, you could do something like that.

Get your members to do some promoting for you... I've managed this by giving them an award for linking.
