Hitsamillion Focuses on Promoting Indie Music

Everyone knows a great way for Indie music artists to promote their music is on social networks. However, not every social network is effective. For example, MySpace is now a mainstream social network devoted to promoting major recording artists. Indie artists get lost among millions of MySpace pages and thousands of ads. This is not the case with Hitsamillion.ning.com.

Hitsamillion Features
The social network totes a little over 1,000 members giving indie artists a chance to be noticed (not lost in the shuffle like MySpace) and confirming the sites credibility. When I say it confirms the sites credibility, let’s remember that 1,000 is no shabby number and the site is steadily growing. However, it is not too large so people get lost.

Purposeful Groups
I myself am a member of Hitsamillion and I have received four group invites. The interesting thing to note is that the groups are actually purposeful not just for show, as is the case with so many other online networks. One group is called Virtual Studio Room and in its description the first line reads “This room is ONLY for those with webcams who want to collaborate on music and songs”. They’re serious. Don’t just sign up to sign up, it is actually interactive people are producing, recording and mixing music with one another.

Ning Users Support Each Other
In one of my past posts (link here) I recommended that Indie artists start their own social networks on ning to promote their music. I still stand by that statement and Hitsamillion.ning.com is a great place to promote your ning site as it totes a number of indie artists/producers/promoters etc… that have their own ning sites. Ning social site owners, creators and users are extremely supportive of each other.  Also the ning platforms automatically links you to friends you have on the ning platform.  What?

For example, say you are a member of  HotIndieMusicworld.ning.com and you have twenty friends.  Then you join Hitsamillion.ning.com where five of those twenty friends from Hot Indie Music World are already members on Hitsamillion.  Ning automatically ads them as friends to you when you join Hitsamillion (provided you sign up with the same email account and password).  Yes it carries your friends under your profile on ning to all ning sites you join.  Nice feature and it makes promotion a lot easier.

I am a relatively new ning site owner and that is how I discovered Hitsamillion. After joining Hitsamillion, a number of new readers began reading my blog and joining my ning site as well. Imagine if you’re an indie artist and people come to your page to hear your music. Do you know how effective that is?

Bottom Line
Indie artists Hitsamillion.ning.com is an extremely effective site for promotion. The users are very receptive and are online for music, not just for social purposes. It’s all about Indie Music at Hitsamillion and I’m all about that.

See you online at Hitsamillion.ning.com
