Facebook Tips for Christian Music Artists

Christian music artists work hard to spread the gospel. Most have a Facebook profile but need to go a step further to advance their music career. Here are few tips M/I suggests to our current clients which might help:

Start a fan page. Matter of fact, have your sister start one too. You have fans and a following and they are on Facebook too. This is a great opportunity to let them know what’s new in your world in real time. Artist should update their website weekly. Fan pages can be updated daily. And sometimes your fans expect artists to update regularly.

Share. Sometimes uses give too much information. Frankly know one needs to know when someone visits the restroom or what they are watching on TV. But there is plenty that can be shared that people do want to know about. Share:
• Video clips of your gigs
• How to get free concert tickets
• Press releases
• New pics

Ads add a lot. Would you like your album to be available for purchase on Facebook? Ads are the way to go. Using ads you can sell everything from tickets to t-shirts. But it is not enough to just throw up something and say, “buy this.” The ad must be compelling and persuasive. Sometimes it is better to promote your website or fan page over your actual product.

What other tips do you have for Christian music artists using Facebook?
