Should I increase MySpace Plays and Views?
Many people have asked me "What is the best way to promote my band and reach the Top of MySpace charts?"
Well, there is not one single answer. But that's actually good news! That means you have more choices now than before.
Being a musician myself, my number one medium of choice is MySpace.
Why? because it's by far the most visited! Way more than Facebook, which may catch up but it will take a long time, if ever. Certain things are established and it will take a "big kid on the block" to change the rules of the game.
The bad news is that there are litterally millions of music profiles on MySpace. The solution? Climp up to the charts! The higher up on the charts you band is, the more visibility and fans you will get. But in order to get a higher position you need to increase the number of Plays in your MySpace profile. The total number of Plays is the number one factor above the number of Views and the number of friends you have.
You position in the charts is determined by all the above, but you climb way faster with a combination of Plays and Views.
How can I increase my Plays and Views?
There are many promotional companies and even software that can help a band or a solo musician boost its numbers. The question is: Are they all created equal?
The answer: Absolutely Not!
A few important factors to consider:
- What I call the "stealthness" factor. Simply put the Plays and Views should come from a different IP's and different platforms. Many people know the former but few know the latter.
- Consistency and randomness. Basically a constant trickle of hits but on random intervals.
- Quality of customer service and personalization. Almost always you need an actual person at the end of that email to take care of your campaign and answer your questions. You need professional promoters seasoned in the industry to take care of your campaign and give you advise.
Unfortunately due to the power of automation very few companies satisfy all the above criteria. Most are just putting up a script (bot) that sends constant hits to your MySpace profile. You guessed it: from the same IP !
That can be very dangerous!!! I've seen accounts being deleted from people who are not careful.
So what do you do? Do you ignore this method of promotion?
The answer is: Absolutely not !!! This is your ticket to a signup and many, if not all, of the Top100 artists use it. Believe you me, this is the biggest secret in the industry.
My suggestion to you and all my musician friends is to talk to the people at Traffic4MyBand .
They know the industry, are very professional, and their customers include some of the biggest names in the industry.
The people at Traffic4MyBand.com have developed their own neural network which guarantees absolute stealth Plays and Views for your profile. They know what works and what doesn't to get you to the Top posistions in a few months not a few years. You need to pay them a visit if you want to increase MySpace Plays.
Let's face it, to increase your Plays in MySpace is the cheapest and most effective form of music promotion you can have and you should absolutely take advantage of it if you want to make it to the top.
Good luck !
