Whether you are an established musician or you just started a band last week, chances are you are on Facebook. Everybody these days uses social media, especially Facebook, to stay up to date on the news and keep in contact with family and friends. Facebook groups are an excellent music marketing tool and a way to promote yourself, connect with your fans, and make new ones. But why are Facebook groups so important? How can they help you grow your audience? -They allow you to easily connect with your listeners for free. Facebook is one of the most cost-effective ways to grow and expand your audience. -Groups are all based on interests. While you can directly invite people from your Facebook page or friends list to join your group, it also means that someone who likes your genre of music could stumble in and become a fan for life. -Groups encourage members to build relationships with each other so they can discuss their favorite songs and share pictures taken at a concert of yours. The more established of a musician you are, the more engagement you'll immediately receive. If you're a newer artist, it will take a little leg work to get things humming. But, it's certainly worth it. Atlanta Institute of Music and Media 2875 Breckinridge Blvd #700, Duluth, GA 30096 Do you want to read more benefits of having a Facebook group as a musician?
