		<description><![CDATA[A great article by Ariel Hyatt on how you can make a perfect press kit for your website/social media profile. A MUST read for all bands/artists who want to stand a chance of being taken seriously in the music industry. I’m often amazed when I go to an artist’s website, and I look around, and I’m trying to find basic press information and I can’t. It seems that in the age of Twitter, Facebook, and Facebook Fan pages, and constantly &#8230; <a href="http://musicbud.co.uk/2013/01/07/how-to-post-a-perfect-press-kit/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, ASCAP’s Daily Brief included an article by David F. Carr entitled, “How Warner Music Turns Social Media Fans Into Customers”.  I thought there was one paragraph in there that was extremely insightful that some readers may not have caught. It needed to be expounded upon. If you&#8217;ve always wondered how a major label goes about building a fanbase for a new artist &#8211; as far as their overarching philosophy on it &#8211; there it was! The statement came from Eric Snowden, VP &#8230; <a href="http://musicbud.co.uk/2013/01/06/how-a-major-label-markets-a-new-artist/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

Well unfortunately it&#8217;s not the same answer for every artist/band out there, there are many different paths that can be taken, however, understanding the key roles within the industry is a step that every artist/band must take during their careers in order to not fall behind the competition.

		<description><![CDATA[A great article on developing your fanbase by Simon Tam that I had to share: I’m a big fan of the 1,000 True Fans theory. Whether or not you think that it is the key that unlocks your music career, it is always good to build an army of enthusiastic supporters who will fervently support your music. The best way for any company or new artist to grow their fan base is through referrals. The combined energy from a hardcore fan base can create &#8230; <a href="http://musicbud.co.uk/2012/11/19/how-to-develop-a-hardcore-fanbase/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the absence of blog posts in the recent months, I have been crazy busy with internships &#38; job interviews! However, I plan to post around once every two weeks, and you can hold me to that. I just wanted to share a fantastic little article &#38; idea that has been conceived by Steve Lawson &#38; Andrew Dubber on being an &#8216;independent&#8217; artist, and the stigma surrounding that title. Link to the original article Steve Lawson&#8217;s fantastic blog No &#8230; <a href="http://musicbud.co.uk/2012/11/12/no-more-unsigned-artists-a-solution-to-a-semantic-problem/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

But I want to look at one specific point that is often forgotten about. About 10 months ago we put together a list of ways to help you get your music on the radio, I want to look at point 8 in that article: &#8220;Have at least one song &#8230; <a href="http://musicbud.co.uk/2012/09/06/preparing-your-sound-for-a-radio-session/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

What you need to understand is how to utilise your social media fanbase in order to market your music, promote gigs, and hopefully become commercially successful (If that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re going for of course).
