Why Every Musician Needs a
Website Right Now...

Yes, a musician needs a website to represent themselves and their music on the Web. You already know this by now.

You don't however want a website which simply acts as a brochure, online store or display case for you and your music.

That would be only a bit better than not having a web site at all.

Every good musician needs a website which acts as...

... a platform which stands at the center of your music web presence and ties together all your activities on the Web.
You can imagine your musician website as the proverbial Rome all roads need to lead back to. I've written before about how to use your official artist site in relation to your overall web presence.
... a meeting-ground were you and your tribe can connect, communicate and create a tribal culture.
You can and should add fresh music, artwork, lyrics, photos, videos and blog posts to attract the attention of potential supporters and keep the existing tribe happy. You also want to make it easy for your tribe to connect and communicate with each other and share your music and web site on other web sites.
... a web asset which creates exposure, equity and income for you.
Your web site will also create equity for you as it allows you to get more exposure and grow a list of e-mail addresses of supporters who want to hear from you.

The above are some of the more important reasons why every musician needs a quality website. In the next article you'll discover the 20% you need to know about good music website design.
