MySpace and email marketing make a powerful combo, revolutionizing the way artists receive attention. MySpace has become the number one way to network with fellow artists and friends, and to inform them about up-coming events and other news. With a free sign-up box made available through an email marketing service, you can take that step ahead of all the other artists in your industry by directly contacting your fans and those interested in your artistic endeavors. This will help you grow the amount of people who come to your shows and expand your fan base. The more exposure that you get and the more people that are present at your shows, the higher the likelihood of getting "noticed" and, of course, the more cash you will make per gig.

By enhancing your MySpace page with an email marketing software sign-up box, you are also a step ahead of many other artists on MySpace. Although MySpace is a great networking tool and keeps you in contact with your friends, every artist is sending a message to all their friends about upcoming gigs. This saturates their MySpace inbox with every kind of gig, and therefore your gig has a harder time getting noticed. The market that is still underused for artists is email. Using email is the key to expanding your fan base and the people showing up to your gigs.

The way to start getting noticed is by adding a sign-up box to your MySpace page, and to sign yourself up for an email marketing service. Most email marketing programs will allow you a free trial in order to test their service. This is a great option for aspiring artists. When you test out the service, you will be able to see the direct results of your email marketing campaigns. The more interested people you send invitations to, the higher the number of people that will show up for your shows. The sign up box and free trial are a winning combination, allowing you to expand your current mailing list, and therefore the amount of people you are inviting to your gigs.

Also, your gig is a perfect opportunity to direct people to your MySpace page. You have the audience you want, focused on you. Isn’t this a perfect time to let them know about your MySpace page and your sign up box? Use this as a tool to expand your emailing lists, your fan base and ultimately the amount of people you are reaching per gig.

Using email marketing in conjunction with MySpace increases the likelihood of you getting noticed and can increase your per-gig monetary performance. By adding a sign-up box to your MySpace page that is linked to an email marketing service, you are going to reach a wider audience than other artists, get more people at your shows, and increase your fan base. This is all part of making it big. Slowly getting the buzz out around you and your projects is what makes "it" happen. Get an email marketing program sign up box, and begin making your artistic dreams become a reality!
