Increasing the audience for your music with Facebook and dnldr

For new acts trying to get established in the music industry, there can be a lot of expenditure with very little return, especially in the beginning of your career.

Having a web site, distribution and marketing all cost money. Here's a checklist of what you might need as a minimum to get started, not in order of priority / importance.


1. Paypal account - you want to receive money, yes?
2. Website - for fans to connect with you
3. Email address - so you can contact DJs directly
4. Distribution - a place where you can store your tracks for people to download / stream them
5. Facebook - maintain a page and fan group
6. Marketing - budget or time spent publishing links to the web / contacting DJs / etc.
7. Marketiplace - a way to earn money from your efforts

All of the above is a full time occupation in addition to songwriting, production and your other committments this can be a real stretch on your time, with many artists becoming sucked into promotion as their main activity. The problem then? No new material.

Enter dnldr which is a combination of   1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 in one. For a flat fee of £32 GBP per month, you get everything to host, stream and store your music. All this with a GUARANTEED income which will get paid into your account on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis - depending on what you want to reinvest in your music promotion.

In addition to promotion on their website, you also get the benefit of dnldr community which is growing all the time. Thanks to their increased promotion and group presence.
