Band Promotion Blog

I first discovered Color Theory when I stumbled into Brian Hazard’s erudite blog Passive Promotion. Brian is Color Theory, and the Passive Promotion blog is Brian’s narrative of his efforts to promote "The Thought Chapter", his latest and seventh album. Funnily enough though, it was the artwork for The Thought Chapter by Maya Klein that first caught my attention in: The Thought Chapter has left the building, it made me read on, and I soon realized what a thoughtful, talented and intelligent man Brian Hazard is.

It was my wholehearted pleasure to make Color Theory a Micro-Site and crank up their Internet presence a few more notches. Great music may promote itself! But Websites don’t

Following my Buddhist beliefs, Unsigned Band Promotion is not a business and is not seeking to make profits from bands using this website. I help musicians and artists get their websites noticed by fans, search engines and the music industry in half the time they could do it on their own and I do it for FREE. There are some costs to be covered, and I try to meet these costs by users donations and by promoting affiliate links. But, I’m still way, way out-of-pocket!

It’s always tough trying to keep a free service going, especially when it is so very hands-on. Please show your support and make a small donation. I am not asking for much, as little as £1 or $2 would be greatly appreciated.

Very many thanks for your support

I’ve just updated Soul Purpose’s Micro-Site. They were four, they’re now five with the addition of Michael Silbaugh, he’s sure made a difference in this kid’s life

Take a gander at their website Soul Purpose - Official Website, their ReverbNation profile and their YouTube video.

I’ve just read an article - that I think all unsigned bands should read - on God Is In The TV Zine by Bill Cummings called Take a stake in a band.

The Article describes how The Race, a male and female fronted, 5 piece alt. indie band from Reading, intend to raise money through a scheme called "The Stakeholder Fund". It is a great idea, and one that I have always advocated. It is not a new idea however, in 2002 Jake Shillingford (click on /Invest) of Exileinside was one of the pioneers of the Do-It-Yourself approach to promoting and marketing his band and music through the internet and Web 2.0.

I also love The Race’s idea of "PASS IT ON" …follow the links and read "Take a stake in a band" to find out more. And while you are there, join GIITTV.

I’ve just finished a Micro-Site for the beautiful and amazing indie rock band from Gainesville, Florida Sweet City Action. Vilma and Christina are brilliant. I want the Micro-Site to help promote the band as they don’t have a Website just various profiles - watch this space as I may change the design. I wish them well and send my love. Sweet City Action’s favourite local spot to play is the 1982 Bar, Gainesville, which is just down the road from the University - so, if you fancy a fun-filled night out go and see them.

Need some extra cash?

I think this is a first - Unsigned Band Promotion will sponsor your band by giving you the opportunity to earn some money from your Micro-Site

Running a band, recording, producing and selling an album requires dedication, expertise and money. Most independent bands need help, and the best people to get help from are your fans, friends and family (with the odd professional thrown in). As a ‘friend’, I am able to help your band by making you a Micro-Site. A Micro-Site will promote your band’s name & Website and of course, I do it all for nothing, there’s no charge, no catches, they’re totally free - I’m Supporting You.

And Now, a Micro-Site can help you earn some extra money. When a visitor lands on your Micro-Site they are only one click away from supporting you financially, because you can now own the Money Earning Links.

4 Ways You Can Earn Money From Your Micro-Site

1. Buy CD Now & Merchandise Links (CD Baby etc. etc.)
2. Google AdSense Links
3. Affiliate Links
4. PayPal Donation Links

If your band already has a Micro-Site get in contact with or for the required information: info@unsignedbandpromotion.com.

Feedback is always important, I welcome your comments, ideas, questions and information. I try to respond as soon as I can.
