Facebook and Twitter are very powerful social media tools that help tremendously with connecting and networking with tons of people all over the world. While they can sometimes (and oftentimes) become a delightful distraction from our work, overall they are the most powerful social and business networking tools available.
I use Facebook and Twitter for social reasons as well as networking and business related ventures. I find these to be an unbelievably useful facet for sharing and connection in my social life. On the business and networking side, it is almost a necessity for my band.
Social media sites such as Myspace, Facebook and Twitter have revolutionized the way musicians connect with their fans. Before this, world of mouth and print advertising were among the only ways to connect with fans. You would find out about concerts this way. The only way to obtain music from bands would be directly from them or at music stores. With the social networking sites available today, you can check out literally thousands of bands and even listen to their music before you go see them.
When I was in high school, I followed all of the bands I loved on Myspace. It was the easiest way to be informed about shows and tell other friends about shows. If you like a bands’ music, you can download it straight from their page.
On the networking aspect, My band can communicate with other bands, promoters and most importantly, fans. By communicating through Facebook or Twitter with other bands and promoters, my band can play a lot more shows than if we were to simply communicate with people in person or on the phone. This is where Facebook and Twitter become some of the most useful tools that we have as a band.
Without social networking tools, being a musician is an immensely difficult task.
