Episode 1: Creating Your Internet Presence


If you only have space through the social sites, then what you are on is borrowed space. You have no control of the direction in which that sites goes. Therefore, it is not your home. It is where you are socializing. it is where you go to connect with old friends, make new friends, keep up with what's going on in the industry, and network.

Episode 2: The Social Breakdown


In this episode we target just a bit further on the topic of creating your internet presence. This time elaborating on the interactions for business purposes with the social websites. I like to talk about 4 category points in which I define and breakdown based on avenues. The 4 points explained are:

(1) Video Broadcasting sites - your visual avenue;
(2) Facebook - your business and professional avenue;
(3) MySpace - your party avenue; and
(4) Twitter - your update and damage control avenue.

Each point serves a different purpose when promoting and marketing your bands website.

At the end of the day, its all about effectively combing the social websites, building platforms for the ability for your current, and future, audience to interact with you via your website.

Episode 3: Band Website Content


In this episode we focus on the band website's content. When it comes to the site's content, always keep in mind of the understanding that you are either deepening or you are diminishing your relationship with your visitors.

Another thing you may really want to consider (which I did not mention in the video) is the type of email address to use when correspoding regarding your band website. People tend to take you more seriously when you are corresponding with them using a geniune email address, instead of the generic ones (i.e., yahoo.com, hotmail.com, gmai.com, etc.). Using a good and dependable service like BlueHost (which the host the TMOTTGoGo website) to host your website, supplies you unlimited email accounts, allowing you to have a seperate account for any particular cause, as well as more than one person, yet using the same email base (i.e., yourname@yourbandwebsite.com).
