JOIN the NEIL
PATTON
SUPPORT TEAM!
People sometimes ask how they can support and
promote my music. The truth is, there are a lot of
ways you can get the word out about my work!
Here are some promotion ideas for you...
1) The BIGGEST
thing you can do to help promote my music: Simply
tell your friends and family about it! Sometimes
the most trusted music reviews come from our
trusted friends...
2) If you spend
any time on MySpace, go to my MySpace page at
www.myspace.com/neilpattonmusic and
invite me to be your friend. Then include some of
my music on your MySpace page and share my music
with your friends. (Make me one of your top friends
and I get even more exposure!)
3) If you have
your own blog, write a blog about my music and
what it means to you. Be sure to include a link
back to my web site.
7)
Tune into Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio
while you're at work.
You can tune in at http://www.solopianoradio.com .
If you have iTunes, just look under the
Radio/Classical genre and you'll see
it there. When people come by and comment on the
music, give them the solopianoradio.com URL. If you
REALLY like the station, sign up for Whisperings
PureStream and support the broadcast.
If you have other ideas to help promote my music,
email me and maybe I'll add it to this list!
Finally, thanks for listening and for all the
encouragement. This music is for you. May it
continue to inspire you and bring you joy!
Gratefully Yours,
Neil
4) If you use iTunes, search for "Neil Patton" on the iTunes music store, pull up the details on one of my albums and rate my music. Little things like this can inspire someone to take a chance on my songs.
5) Just like #5, do the same thing on www.cdbaby.com. Search for my music and add some customer reviews! Encourage others to try out the CDs, or even a download.
6) At IndieHeaven, I usually have one of my songs on their FanFaves charts. This is a chart for fans to vote for their favorite IH artists and help their songs climb the ladder towards #1 and more visibility to visitors. Just go to www.indieheaven.com/fanfaves, select "View All" from the drop-down menu and then click the "View" button. When you find my song, vote for it with the amount of stars you feel it deserves (1 to 5) and watch it climb the chart. I'll post a new song there every 30 days. Visitors can vote once per day, as well.
