Musician Social Media Tip: Linkedin is a business-based social network and a lot of music industry folks have profiles online. There are label execs, music supervisors, producers, engineers, managers, agents, publishers, professional musicians, consultants and more. If youre looking to get in touch with some of these people, you should check it out. Make sure to strengthen your profile before you try to contact important players though. Add connections, pictures, media, experience and more. The more info you include with industry keywords, the more people will stumble upon your profile (from searching). Also, the more connections you add, the bigger your network will grow and youll be one degree closer to meeting someone who could really help your career. And dont forget to join some groups too. Linked has a lot of categorized musician groups, which can help you network. If you want to see an example of keyword usage, media, listed experience, group memberships, etc., heres my profile: linkedin/in/adamsmallmusic/. If youre not already a member, you wont see my full profile, but youll get the idea. See how the keywords in my heading match my experience? Also, my summary contains keywords as well. This is not an accident; it’s good SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Anyway, I could go on all day geeking out about this stuff, but Ill probably make a longer blog post explaining some optimization tips when I get some time. So, what are you waiting for? Strengthen your Linkedin profile and make some great connections!
