1. Build your platform, grow your audience

The question I get asked most often is "how can I build out my platform and grow my audience"?

Artists ask me this question because agents, book publishers, music labels, and film studios all want to know the same thing:

HOW BIG IS YOUR AUDIENCE?

I consult to a growing middle class of musicians, authors, filmmakers, and speakers who are building large audiences and earning a living from their passion - without the majors.

This brave new world is not limited to artists. Politicians, speakers, consultants, trainers, salespeople, coaches, publicists, and business people are growing their bases too.

Even teens and college students are using social networks to connect with hundreds or thousands of virtual "friends."

Millions of potential fans want to hear your song or speech, read your book, watch your video, or buy your services.

How can you reach these millions of people? Read on...

2. How to build your platform

Today's audience is fragmented and mobile. They time-shift with Tivo and location-shift with iPods and handheld devices.

To reach this audience, your message needs to be everywhere - on radio, TV, in newspapers, magazines, on the Internet, on social networks and mobile devices.

We teach you how to get your message to fans where they want it, when they want it, and how they want it. 

BE THE MEDIA will show you how to:

  • Create a direct relationship with your audience

  • Self-publish a book, blog, podcast, or videoblog

  • Promote on social networks like MySpace and Facebook

  • Sell your music on CD Baby, your web site, and blog

  • License your merchandise, songs, ringtones, and more

  • Create and self-syndicate your own radio show

  • Create a "no budget" video and promote it online

  • Leverage affiliate programs to get more customers

  • Get more traffic through Search Engine Optimization

  • Use RSS (syndication) to broaden your reach

4. Let the audience demand YOU

In the past, artists needed to find an audience. Today, the audience finds you. Eventful.com lets fans create grassroots campaigns that Demand local dates for popular performers, authors, musicians, comedians, and speakers. Artists get a Performer page that shows where they are being demanded, and how many people demand them in each area.
