Tell Us How You Get New Fans. Win $100.
David Meerman Scott wrote “if you want 20,000 fans you must do 2000 different things that each generate 10 fans.” Michael Brandvold took up the challenge and is compiling a list of 2000 ways that musicians can win new fans. We want the Hypbebot community to help, so we're offering a $100 Amazon gift certificate for the the best ideas submitted by Tuesday. 3 runners up will get a book from our music industry bookshelf.

How about writing cracking-good music and making sure it’s played and recorded brilliantly?
I’ve had some pretty good success with Google AdWords. Sure, it costs a few bucks and it might not be for everyone. But in my case, being able to set my own parameters to target the exact type of fans I’m looking for has increased the size of my fan mailing list quite a bit. So, that’s my suggestion. 🙂
How’s about an event that involves your fans in the making of your record?
