Gaining the attention of blogs and their readers is no easy feat, especially for unsigned talent with little-to-no history. You can write the best songs and have the most beautiful videos, but if you do not know how to network and pitch yourselves no one will ever learn about your talent. Once they do, however, there will only be a small window of time for you to capitalize on having won a moment of their attention, and this afternoon we’re going to learn what you should do in the hours after first receiving media attention.
1. Take time to celebrate, but realize there is still a lot left to accomplish.
I was never in a band that became popular enough to appear on sites like Absolutepunk or the like, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t spend many nights wishing one of the influential tastemakers of the scene mentioned my efforts in their publication. If your music/video/album gets covered, celebrate! You’ve taken yet another step towards your goal of a career in music, and while it’s certainly not enough to pay the bills, it does serve as a potent reminder other people in the world care about your art. Don’t take that for granted.
2. Tell everyone in the world about the news (and ask them to share it).
This one probably goes without saying, but the unwritten rule of exposure on music outlets is that the band featured will publicly share and/or promote the publication’s content once it’s live. Don’t just share the link to stories with fans, but ask them to share it as well, and don’t be afraid to request they comment on the post if time allows. Sites that see a bump in traffic or discussions from coverage of your band are more likely to cover your music again in the future because they believe there is a value to your content that other unsigned acts cannot provide. To show them that value you will need the help of your fans, and it’s up to you to sell them on sharing your work.
3. Engage the comments section, but don’t antagonize them.
If the reason you’re reading this post is that the first article that was ever written about your music just published you need to understand the response in the comments section may be very slow at first. As much as sites love to help expose young talent, people are not always quick to comment (especially in a positive sense) about something they are unfamiliar with. A great way to combat this is to actively participate in discussions taking place in the comments section of articles about your band. Answer questions for people, offer insight into your creative process and generally speaking do whatever you can to be a decent human being that is open to criticism. It’s not that difficult, but it can make a world of difference in how quickly people become engaged with your art.
4. Say “thank you” and/or support the publication that wrote about you.
You would not believe the power the phrases “please” and “thank you” have in the music industry. From labels to bands, publicists, and everyone in between you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks they hear either of those phrases too often. People tend to do as they please and take what they want without giving much thought to the process behind it all, but you can stand out from the countless unsigned artists of the world by voicing your appreciation to the sites that give you space on their front page. It does not have to be anything formal, but it should be sincere. People remember those who are kind to them, and they’re far more likely to want to work with you again in the future as a result.
5. Don’t be afraid to begin teasing your next announcement.
Once people learn about your art it’s very likely they will want to know everything they can about your current efforts. Using social media and the comments sections on posts about your work, take a moment to tell people about everything else you have going on while your name is still fresh on their minds. They might not buy the album or see the tour you’re trying to promote, but at least they’ll know of it and will have the ability to share that information with others if such opportunities present themselves.
6. Offer to send the site/writer more music.
Has the site that covered you written about your latest album? Have they been to a show? Did they see the last video? Make the most of the attention you’ve earned and offer to deliver more material as soon as possible. Any positive response your initial article receives will increase the likelihood of the site picking up more coverage in the future.

The music business runs on a combination of who and what you know. Getting your music in front of the right person can make all the difference in your career, but you have to know the right way to sell yourself in order to get that music heard. If it arrives in someone’s inbox, but is never played, does the fact you sent it even matter?
A disturbing trend we’ve found in music marketing and publicity over the last few years is a growing dependency on third party contact lists, often acquired through a one-time purchase, for new music solicitation. Instead of developing relationships with labels, writers, managers, and everyone in between, up and coming music professionals are attempting to skip networking altogether by purchasing access to a person’s contact information.
Let us be clear: Paid contact lists are never effective. In fact, they may even hurt your career.
There are countless ways you can be unique in this business, but networking is one thing that unites all professionals. Even the most successful independent artists must make contacts in the industry at large in order to continue building their career. You are no exception, regardless of your talent.
People will care about your music if they first care about you, and that can only happen after a proper introduction. Whether you want to run a music blog, be a publicist, manage bands, book shows, or tour the world, you need to first make connections with people in a position to facilitate you doing those things. You need to learn the ropes, if you will, and the only way to efficiently do that in music is through constant collaboration and discussion with your peers.
When you buy contact lists you’re giving money to someone who neither cares about you or your work in hopes of getting ahead in your career. They don’t need you beyond having your payment clear, and you don’t need them because it takes all of 10 seconds to download the information you have paid to access.
You know who else doesn’t care about you and your work after all this happens? The (often thousands of) people whose contact information you just paid to access. They have no reason to open your messages or listen to the music included because they have no idea who you are or why you would be messaging them. They don’t know a thing about you and they have no reason to because you never gave them one.
And is if all this were not enough to convince you, consider this:
All contact lists that can be bought are littered with fake/dead/incorrect information.
Here are Haulix, we’ve had to build special tools to handle the large number of bounces and rejected promos that hit our system when people attempt to use contact lists they bought online. We’ve had promos go out that hit more than one-thousand dead address, which slowed our system while serving no one involved in the album promotion process any good. It is a waste of time for everyone involved.
If you want a career in music you have to build it one connection at a time. There is no way around this fact. Get out and shake some hands. Send email introductions and follow-up whenever necessary. Put yourself out there and lift others up when you are able. Be a good person and you won’t believe how far it will take you.
