Myspace Strategies - Getting Results

by Madalyn Sklar

Last week I talked about Myspace vs. Facebook. Yes, I'm big a fan of Myspace because I get results with it. And I help my clients get results.

In last week's post I said...

"It's not difficult to dramatically increase your friends/fans. I just started a promotion campaign for a fellow GoGirl and increased her friend count by 212% in only 2 weeks."

My client is thrilled with the results she's getting. With all her new friends it's generating more comments and messages in her inbox. My job is to expose her to the masses. With the increase in friends, her music is gaining exposure to fans that might not otherwise find her.

Another new client just started his campaign and in less than one week he was contacted by a booking agent in his area. The booker is interested in hiring his band to play at several venues.

This is not the first time a client has relayed this information to me. It's all about exposure. It's getting your name out there to countless new fans. It's having a strategy and working it. It's having a team help you because you can't do it alone. Well you could go at it alone but then when would you make time for your music?

"...you want to cast a wide, targeted net and reach as many people as possible. Then it's up to you to develop one-on-one relationships with people who reach out to you or those you reach out to."

I've said it before and I'll say it again... social networks only work if you work it. So get a strategy. Get results.

If you need help, get in touch with me over at Social Networks for Musicians. I've been helping musicians and music businesses with their social networks since 2005.

What About Myspace?

In case you didn't notice, Myspace is making quite a comeback for indie artists. I know, we all got burned out on it. It's so time consuming. It was s-l-o-w. Remember that? Then not too long ago it seemed to rock again. It moves quicker. Less stress and hassle. I'm noticing far more results. Are you?



But there is a strategy to making it work effectively for you. That is why I'm now offering my services to ALL artists and bands. I know the do's and don'ts. I know what works.

If you are looking for Myspace help in order to increase your exposure and opportunities, then get in touch with me. I can help boost your profile views & song plays.

Our plans start at $250/month.

The Virtual Publicist


Hey everyone,


I have teamed up with Rhonda Kelley of Rainmaker PR and Ben Schulkin of 3000K to bring you The Virtual Publicist.

It's a great contact list filled with music press contact information for over 400 music magazines, zines, blogs and freelance writers; and ready-to-use labels for mailing your press kits. It's ideal for musicians, labels, bands, etc who are looking to do their own publicity quickly and effectively. It's only $39.95 which makes it an affordable investment towards your music career. I recommend adding this to your arsenal!


And so you know, I have personally used The Virtual Publicist and can say I absolutely love it! While busy promoting our "Invasion of the GoGirls" during SXSW weekend I wanted to get our press release out to as many places as possible. I was able to quickly send out the release (in less than 5 minutes!) to relevant music magazines, blogs, writers, etc. I'm all about working smarter not harder and The Virtual Publicist allows me to do this!


Rock on,
