Hypeddit Launches Radical New Tool To Get Music Artists Loads Of New Real Fans

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=180302

Officially launched today, Hypeddit (http://hypeddit.com/) is a unique and innovative "Follow-to-Download" and "Comment-to-Download" fan acquisition application for SoundCloud® - the first of its kind. It provides music artists with a radically new tool to build long-term success for their music through active growth of their fan base and fan engagement. Listeners simply pay for music downloads with social currency including SoundCloud Follows, Comments, and Track Likes. With a popular song, any artist can quickly gain thousands of new, real and engaged SoundCloud followers with hundreds of comments and track likes.

Hypeddit ads tremendous value to all musical genres and has seen particularly rapid adoption by EDM producers around the globe, including Beatport Top 10 artists releasing on labels such as Spinnin Records, Toolroom, Defected, Ministry of Sound, Strictly Rhythm, Skint, CR2 and many more.

And the best thing: Hypeddit is for free to get started!

"Why isn't there are a better way for artists to build long-term success on SoundCloud?" said Brooklyn-based John Gold, founder of Hypeddit, about the launch. "I have asked myself that question when I started promoting my own music online. I think it's time to disrupt the tools we use to promote our music and DJ sets. That is exactly why I am extremely excited to launch Hypeddit - a fan growth engine for SoundCloud artists and a fantastic free music discovery platform for music fans and DJs! Funny enough: we only developed our slogan "Rocket Fuel for Your SoundCloud® Profile" when we saw how unbelievably successful our tool worked for our initial users who quickly gained thousands of engaged fans with their music."

Hypeddit takes a unique spot in the music marketing landscape:

* To increase their public stats many artists have tried adding fake fans and listens to their SoundCloud profiles but now recognize that this is a complete waste of time and money: there is zero long-term benefit because fake fans will never listen to, share, buy their music, or go to their shows.

* Facebook's popular 'Like-to-Download' function has been disabled to force account holders into paid promotions for their Facebook fan pages. Also, the value of a Facebook fan to a music artist has almost decreased to zero since Facebook does not push new posts to all of an artist's Facebook fans unless the artist pays even more to promote each new post.

* Hypeddit, on the other hand, is completely free to get started. And is helps artists to grow a fan base on SoundCloud, the most valuable platform for music artists due to an entirely music focused audience and a 100% distribution rate of new tracks or mixes by an artist to all of his or her followers.

* Hypeddit also helps to spread its artists' music by giving all listeners the tools to share sounds on various social networks. And the most successful sounds make it into the Hypeddit Top 100 Free Download Charts for another boost in exposure!

Announcing 'Music E-Blast,' A Direct And Economical Way For Artists To Reach New Fans

Website: http://www.mi2n.com/services/mi2n_IMB.php3

New York and Ft. Lauderdale (July 19, 2010) - Musicians are always looking for ways to increase their fan base. With MySpace's popularity teetering out and Facebook becoming overcrowded and cost-prohibitive on which to advertise, email marketing remains an effective and economical way for both artists and labels to reach a targeted group of potential fans.

Mi2N, the largest and oldest online music industry newswire, has partnered with Inside the Music Business (IMB) to introduce 'Music E-Blast,' an email marketing service allowing artists and labels to reach music fans of their particular genre. In conjunction with IMB's sister company Local Adzine, Mi2N is now offering email campaigns reaching 25,000 genre-specific fans to help promote everything from music releases to events & tours. 'Music E-Blast' can reach fans of virtually every genre of music, including Country, Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Dance/Electronica, Jazz, Classical, and Folk-Americana to name a few.

Mi2N and IMB also announced that Oseao Media Group, a digital music distributor, licensing and publishing company, would be the first affiliate partner, offering 'Music E-Blast' and other Mi2N PR marketing packages to its artists and labels.

"For musicians, Music E-Blast is like shooting a bull's-eye," says IMB Founder and President Eric Kline. "They can take their message and directly reach people who already have a proclivity to want to check them out."

Next to music video and radio, 'Music E-Blast' is a great play for an artist to reach 25,000 potentially new fans. The people who are emailed have already identified themselves as fans of your genre. Whether it's a press release announcement of an EP or CD release, a tour, or just a continuing effort to increase followers and fans, Music E-Blast, has enormous potential.

"While email marketing has been part of corporate and small business marketing's arsenal for years, the independent music community has largely missed out on its potential," noted MusicDish President Eric de Fontenay. "Email marketing is not just a great way to reach your fans, but it can be particularly effective when used in conjunction with social media marketing."

Kline says the service can be expanded to reach millions of fans. "We have music databases with millions of subscriber email addresses in most of the major genres. We can reach a broad range of people around the country or we can target it to a specific city or state. There are amazing opportunities for artists to use the service."

Get Busy Living. Start Making Music

Website: http://www.YouMusic.com

Sometimes we postpone our passions to such a degree that life passes us by without us following our dreams and desires. Days go by, weeks go by, months go by, and years go by. Are we living the life we want to live? Are we making music the way we want to? Or too busy doing minor things and not focus on our real passions which drives us from within. If your passion and dream is to make music then get busy doing it than delay another day

Its all fine to say that, then how does one go about doing it?

Bite Size Tasks â€" Break It Down
First of all it is key to recognize that even if its a surmountable goal, we break it down into simple manageable tasks. Say for instance, your dream is to be able to play the piano so you can play it as your main instrument or accompany yourself while singing or compose on it. If you haven't already mastered it then the first step is to take appropriate lessons. What can you do today towards that goal? Maybe find a piano teacher near you or write down ways to save or make money for the piano lessons. If you are already in a band and creating songs, then create a business plan for your band promotion, or find ways to promote your band online to find new fans. If you have already created a CD, then find ways to network offline and online to get your music heard one fan at a time. It all starts with one fan getting to know your music and passionately spreading the power of your music to the world. Never ever underestimate the power of your fans

Do, Learn, and Do Until You Achieve
Thirty years from now, we will be regretful of the things we did not do or didn't even attempt than by the things we did do or even tried and failed. But then there are no failures in life only learning experiences. If that's the case its a win/win situation to try and do things we are passionate about. If and when we so call 'fail', we simply discover what doesn't work for us so we 'learned' something in the process then we won anyway. If we managed to achieve what we wanted to in the first place then its a win situation also. If we didn't, then we change our approach and do it again, until we achieve what we need to achieve.

Do It Today â€" Get Momentum
The power of acting on your dreams is key to get things in motion. We get so much energy by being in motion. Moving. Doing. Performing. When you go dancing don't you get that feeling of joyful bliss of being in that moment of movement? When you stay in one place, there is no motion. Things are still. Not moving. Not moving forward. Stagnant. What you can do today, towards your making music dreams do it today. Even if its a small task. Especially if its a small task. That will give you the momentum you need to propel forward. When you begin a task, you feel a small victory in your mind. When you do a bit more the next day you have these small 'baby victories' in your mind to move forward even more. When you place your music on a download site for sale, and you see that one fan had bought your music it gives you a sense of satisfaction that you touched that fan enough for them to invest in your music. You continue with your online promotion you find that you have fans listening and buying your music. This will inspire you to create more music. Not just because of the financial rewards but the emotional rewards of knowing that you have touched another human being via your music.

Keep Your Focus â€" Never Lose Sight Of Your Goal
When you are 100% focused on your goal, you become very powerful. No one can deter you from your goal. You are locked into your target destination. If you find yourself deviating from your target goal, you will realize and be aware that you are slightly or significantly off your track and you will adjust yourself back on track. Life may throw challenges at you and you will be challenged at times with the usual resource constraints of finances, lack of time and the usual perceived constraints we are all faced with. If you are not focused and not locked into your target goal, it is very easy for external influences or challenges to throw you off track and keep you off track because you are not grounded into your passionate goals. But when you have your goal locked in, then its hard for the challenging elements to get to you. You are determined. Your intention becomes so powerful that you will not give up. When your intention is 100% of what you really want in your life, then all the energies you need are on your side. You will rarely self-sabotage yourself when you are true to your passions and have your 100% intentions for your lifetime desires/goals. Never let your dreams die. Because your dreams are your wings which will fuel you and give you the strength to fly on your journey to your soul satisfaction

So get busy living the life you were born to live, your best life. The best of you, so we can hear your music when you start making music and when you share with us â€" the rest of the world. Get busy making music at the same time enjoy the journey to your musical creations. Never give up on your dreams, ever.
