Unless you like the life of a broke musician, the question you probably ask yourself day and night is “How do I make it to the big time?” Well, the answer is about as simple as a diminutive seventh chord, but there is a way to get yourself or your band signed.

There are a significant amount of overlooked details to getting your music noticed. And this article will attempt to address some of them.

The first thing a label is looking for is whether or not your group can draw a crowd. So if you already have an established fan base, then you’ve got it halfway made. If not, that’s the first step.

If you want to draw in the record label, you have to think a little bit like a record label executive. Want they want to know is, can this group make me money. If you have a fan base, you’re halfway to showing that you can be a solid business investment.

You may well wonder, how do you build a fan base? Well, it is like anything in life worth doing. It takes work and fortitude. The “If you build it, they will come” mentality will not help you here. You actually have to do some planning and strategizing to get your music before fans.

There are three primary locations on the web where music lovers go to find out about music makers. They are the big three of social media: Twitter, MySpace and Facebook.

These social networking sites are the top line when it comes to reaching people. So, get to know them inside and out, and learn the different tools each has to offer you and your band. Make a point of posting on all three every time you perform, every time you record; even every time you think up a new song. This is the stuff fans love to know about.

Getting to the big time isn’t easy, but there are almost as many ways of promoting your group as there are groups out there. Try these tactics, but also dream up your own. And don’t turn down any opportunity that comes along. You’ll find yourself lounging pool-side in no time.
