Music Blog Submission and PR for Artists

The first philosophy of a music blog is networking. Biggest labels, producers, music management companies, or indie-artists relate themselves to music blogs. And that's not all. Due to influencing potential, the noise they raise around the music and artists, a potential drive of readers to Social Networks and Streaming Platforms, and the fact they write about big stars and small giants of the local music scene-equally. Blogs are just for everyone. 

Exclusive content is something blogs are proud of. Quite often we'll meet new releases from artists on blog, rather than on Tv or streaming platforms. Let's take Pitchfork for example. American music blog on which for the first time saw the light beats of artists like rave icon Nicolas Jaar or Shawn Mendes, teenage sensation. But, there's one trick. Pitchfork as one of the brightest stars in the blogging world, solely concentrate on the big names in the game. Making this Music magazine exclusive only for names like Billie Eilish or Miley Cyrus. Chances' new artist will have an album or single release on Pitchfork are minimal. All this due to strong competition between Pitchfork and other blogs in the niche. Reasons for this are monetization, traffic, exclusivity, and having an upper hand on rivals. But if you don't pose the name of Rihana or Cardi B, you can still publish your music to blogs. And go viral too. 

Reddit made sure it wasn't all so black for new, upcoming stars. The biggest discussion website community and by far most popular on the web poses all one unknown artist would crave for. With 330 million active users per month, and dozens of music communities on the site your chance to engage with fans, producers, influencers, or critics are countless. If used properly. 

Here are some tips to improve your visibility using Reddit, as paratrooper jump to a topic will get you anywhere. We have been there, so for the start, we'll know on the first look to Reddit you'll be anxious. Pages and communities will look messy and confusing. Go small in the beginning. Take part in smaller communities. Create your first bonds with other users. Engage them in your work and bring them close to your everyday life as an artist. Read and copy successful users and their subreddits. Craft your creation to be unique and original. Doesn't matter is it your song, meme you create or quote you make. Reddit doesn't savor spams. It's all about substance and contribution. Although you can post and share on Reddit just anything, stick with your craft. Or even better, pull through your craft all those thoughts you keep inside. 

Global warming, Panda's extermination, Trumps' policy of migration? Those topics are hot and popular? Use them as an advantage, make a short poem about it. As the internet creates life without privacy, and we know about stars we love almost everything, you'll need to share your story. Fans love it when it is personal and value intimacy even more than music you give them. Share your goals, fears, thoughts, everyday life stories, but keep the form. No one likes a boring long post where you are cooking pasta. Gradually as your post likes and followers list rises to engage in larger communities but following the same path. Reddit can connect you to bloggers and music influencers who work for the biggest fishes in the industry. Therefore it is evident why using Reddit is important. 

Medium is next in line to free blogging. Right behind Reddit and only because of the lower user pool. But in all other aspects, we can certainly say that Medium overcame Reddit. Organic flow, real users, blog alike site, with numerous influencers from just any known niche. Music is one of the most visited and dedicated on the site. We've spoken about philosophies for blogging, but what about the rules? Like everything in life, blogging has its own rules. Especially when it comes to music blogs. Considering there are hundreds and thousands of artists like you, chasing the ticket to stars through blogs, the daily amount of data bloggers receive is countless. Unless you optimize your submission to blog, they'll not bother to find out details about you as an artist. Things like your previous artwork, BIO, links to your Social's, photoshoots, or videos, all need to be well packed and sent to bloggers. 

Now when everything is prepared, and you're good to go, three tracks will open for your submission to blogs. Through the form on the blog itself. Easiest and the fastest way. Or with a good email campaign. Email correspondence will give you the look of serious music professional. 

And at the end via music promotion services, like Artist Push ★ While the first two depend solely on your ability to negotiate and present yourself, here at Artist Push we'll take care of all the steps needed for good blogging and publishing of your music.
