Engage with relevant sites, blogs and social media channels
Read your favourite music sites, leave comments both on the site and social media. For some reason people seem to think that successful music industry folk don’t get involved in discussions online. Unless you’re Aphex Twin, don’t be afraid to get your points across if you see an interesting article. Leave feedback on SoundCloud – after all you should know how to talk about music.
Talk to artists and fans on Facebook – you’re not Barack Obama – people will appreciate the fact you’re getting involved in the conversation. I can tell you for a fact that 90% of the top musicians, producers and DJs regularly follow the leading music sites. They spend 30 hours a week in airports and there are only so many arcades and walks around duty free that a person can handle.
