Make The Most Of Your Music Player On MySpace
 by Anne Freeman, 
Once you've established your myspace site, selected a terrific photo or graphic that accurately signals your primary artistic sensibility to casual surfers, and your band name or label name signal the same (hopefully), a few practical strategies can be employed to help you maximize your marketing efforts.

We'll start with your music player, as your music is, of course, key to your marketing efforts.
Does Your Guitar Sounds Really Good?
by Mike Zanov,

If you're not perfectly in tune, you're missing out on the entire experience. This is especially true when you're playing electric guitar with distortion. When the notes of a chord are played together, the result should be one full sound that stands on it's own. This is what occurs when you are in ideal tune.

Viral Marketing: Internet Success
by Jaci Rae,
Traditional radio airplay, standard brick and mortar distribution, and being signed by a major record label are no longer the only means of getting your music noticed. Thanks to digital distribution and the massive appeal of and easy access to the Internet, unknown musical talent now has a chance at real success.
