When it comes to Internet music promotion, most people become very lost! I don't blame them either because I used to be in the same exact boat. It is often a struggle because many people don't know where to begin or how to begin. It's tough trying to start something when you have no clue where the starting line is.

1. Create a Blog and Hide it!
Yes, you're reading correctly. The purpose of hiding it is to brand yourself. When I say hide, I mean instead of your blog reading "mymusic.blogspot.com," it will read, "mymusic.com." People will remember "mymusic.com" faster than any "MySpace.com/mymusic" or "YouTube.com/mymusic." First, go to Blogger.com, create a free blog, and add your videos, music, ring tones, albums, T-shirts, and anything else you want to promote. From there, go to GoDaddy.com and purchase a domain name. After purchasing the domain name, there will be a link on your home page titled "domain forwarding." Here, it will give you directions on how to mask your "mymusic.blogspot.com" site and make it look like "mymusic.com." you have just hid your blog and made it look like a professional website.
Online music marketing is simple in terms of branding your site on something you're already selling. On every T-shirt you sell put your website somewhere on it. For every gig you perform, tell people to go to the website. Put it on your CDs, YouTube page, videos, etc. You want your website name to get out as fast as possible but, there is more. There are thousands of article and press release sites on the Internet that allow you to write articles and press releases directing them to your website URL in the article. Some of them are EzineArticles.com, ArticleAlley.com, GoArticles.com, ArticleBase.com, and so on. I can go on forever but these four are extremely powerful for generating website traffic however, if you are going to do it, read 5 or 10 well written articles from each website so you will learn Internet music promotion correctly.
Most people settle for a job and a boss after getting nowhere close to their music dreams, even knowing this information. Slow income, to no radio play, this doesn't have to be you and; should have never been them.
