Here we look at how an often neglected resource can be utilized from the comfort of your couch to grow your music business community.

One of the most underutilized tools for networking in this industry is Facebook Groups. Tons of music industry related groups out there are actively sharing knowledge within communities of like minded individuals just like you. In these groups, you can ask for support, get advice, inquire about job opportunities and so much more.

Remember: It’s all about who you know.

Grow your network with these Music Biz Facebook Groups:

Artist Managers Connect

Artist Managers Connect is a digital community of artist managers from around the world who are dedicated to sharing knowledge, advice, and opportunities in order to better serve our artists and the industry as a whole. Industry pros and newbies alike have a lot to gain from this group.

“AMC is my favorite group on Facebook. Everybody in the group is supportive of each other and it’s opened up a lot of avenues for collaboration. They’re always doing meet-ups and events in various cities. Also, its not just for Artist Managers – members of the group work in all areas of the industry, so it’s a great way to meet new people and connect!”, says Randy Ojeda, Founder of Cigar City Management & Client Development Associate @ Symphonic.

All you ladies out there, these next two are for you. Music Biz Besties is a private group for female musicians & industry leaders hosted and founded by Katherine Forbes.
