Musicians: Build Your Fanbase at All About Jazz
Musicians can now build their fanbase through their profile pages at All About Jazz.
A musician's All About Jazz following is a collection of fans, friends, and professionals that have an interest in your music. It's part LinkedIn and part Facebook, but exclusively for jazz people.
Once an AAJ member follows you, you can send them announcements about upcoming CD and download releases, upcoming calendar dates, and other promotional opportunities like contest giveaways.
Musician's can invite friends and family to follow them by clicking the “View Following" link on their profile page, and copying and pasting the invitation letter (with the link to join your network) into your email program. You can jumpstart your following by sending out the invitation to your personal mailing list.
Speaking of mailing lists, you can now back up your mailing list through your musician profile. Just copy and paste your list into the “Mailing List" box. Everyone on that list will receive the announcements you initiate from All About Jazz.
More Musician Profile Enhancements
In addition to the network builder and mailing list feature, we've also:
Redesigned the profile page for optimum object placement
Added a “Related Artists" box
Added a box to embed YouTube and other video tags
Added a permalink feature so you can link from your website to your AAJ page (ex: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/yourname). It also makes remembering your page at AAJ a breeze.
Associate your news announcements with your profile. See the “News" section on your profile.
Tips
Adding your birthday (even month and day) will allow us to syndicate your birthday around the web. Many radio stations program around birthdays and several subscribe to our birthday feed.
If you're a clinician or teacher, be sure to add your zip code to your profile so you turn up on local searches.
Feature an MP3 download. It's a great way to promote your music (especially a new release) and will add value to your profile. Learn more about our Download of the Day service.
Add press quotes, award designations, attach upcoming release info, enter your discography, and keep your calendar current.
Contact fellow musicians by clicking the “Email" link on their profile page.
