SkatterBand is a Social Music Marketing Community that we are building to suit the needs of musicians, artists and music industry professionals who are taking control of their business and promotions with the help of online tools and websites. At this time we are looking to get early adopting bands to sign-up to be the first to test drive the site when we launch.

The online music marketing tools we are working on include:

1. Song and profile aggregator. This tool is amazing! By uploading a song onto our site, your song will automatically be uploaded into all of your other profiles. This includes Myspace, Facebook, Virb, Purevolume, Grooveshark, Soundclick and more! As more and more sites open up and allow for aggregation and social data to be accessed, we will be expanding into more and more sites.

2. Show an event aggregator. It’s always fun uploading a 40 show tour on all of your online profiles and websites. With our tool, you only upload your show once and we do the rest of the work. Gives you more time to make better music, get one more practice in, or talk to more fans on your blog and social networks.

3. Search engine tools, buzzword analysis, banner generator, ringtone generators and online stores.

4. Our daily music marketing blog. Authored by real working music marketers, tour managers, merch booth attendants, club promoters, booking agents, A&R’s, songwriters, touring musicians and more!

4. E-Books on everything from How to Blog for Musicians to SEO and beyond.

5. Venue search and locator tools. Search for venues by size, location and rating. Rate venues on everything from sound to staff.

The first round of sign-ups will receive access to all of these features and more absolutely free! This site will be a premium site and having pricing for mothly and yearly packages at band friendly rates!

The music industry is changing. Physical CD sales are down again. Digital downloads are growing as are Legal and Illegal Peer to Peer (P2P) file sharing. Everyone has an opinion.

Thing is, opinions don’t matter. Results do.

Indie Music Marketing and Promotion 2.0

Rollett Marketing is a cutting edge Social Media Marketing Firm that can help you begin, maintain or substantially grow your music business. The internet has changed the way you find fans, so much so that fans can now find you! And they can do viral marketing for you online within social networks and online communities.

Low cost videos can be produced and distributed online, viewed by people across the globe, producing a viral effect that bring them back to your website where they can find information on your shows, buy MP3’s and other merchandise and contact you for more information or just to chat.

Live shows have played a huge part in the success of the indie musician. From grassroots touring, to local and regional shows to hopping on the back of a major act, touring has kept bands and artists afloat during the Major Label recession. By maximizing your presence online, music fans will have more avenues to hear about your shows and your music, whether they be in your city or a town a hundred miles away.

Concert Venues take a beating when their live entertainment doesn’t draw up to the venue’s standards. To this I say, “venues take it into your own hands.” By promoting your live music through effective music marketing tactics and promoting your bar / venue itself, you can have the upper hand in band selections, increase bar sales and consistently draw a sizeable crowd, instead of living and dying on the local music scene.

Digital Distribution is readily available for indie artists, bands and computer musicians who are looking to take their music beyond physical CD’s, excess inventory and take advantage of the iPod generation. The internet gives independent artists a competitive advantage, allowing for instant uploads, downloads, feedback and monetization. Rollett Marekting can assist you from picking the right services, locating new ones and finding alternate distribution that will help you grow your music business and start realizing your dreams and aspirations.

Let Rollett Marketing help your band achieve the success it wants. Whether that be local celebrity status, regional touring band, national act and any and everything in between, let us help get you featured online and in your scene through:
Social Network Optimization
