117 Places to Plug Your Performances

I haven’t featured a list in quite a while, so today here’s a rather substantial one - 117 places where you can post your music, descriptions of your music, gig alerts or just general promotional blurbs…

Extended List of Music Sites

Some of the following were featured in a previous post, but I reckon it’s a good idea to have as many of these links on the one page as possible. With regard to promoting your music, spreading the word should be a priority - and don’t be precious about those mp3s either: put them where people can hear them. Hopefully someone will like what they hear and pass it on to their friends, and from such ripples greater waves may develop. If you want a comprehensive guide to modern independent music marketing, you could also try Bob Baker’s Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook (affiliate link) - this is a comprehensive and straightforward guide to promoting your band, and worth every penny.

Anyway, on to the list - a mix of netlabels, social networking sites and blog submission portals. Get yourself on all of these and traffic is bound to pick up. It may take a while though, as most require you to register before posting anything. Not all of these are targeted at new music acts - in fact, many are general resources for website promotion. However, any link you can get to your band page (whether on MySpace or Podcomplex) is going to boost your online presence and so should be worth pursuing.
