Ten Reasons Why Music Producers Need a Website
Having a professional website for your music productions is essential.
A website for your music is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The world for the past 20 - 30 years has been speeding further into digitalization and convenience. Those who have failed to keep up to these changes have simply got left behind for those that have grasped the opportunity and taken advantage of this new digital landscape.
Let’s explore 10 reasons why you need a website today.
1. People Expect Convenience and Easy Transactions
To keep it simple. People don’t want to visit 5 different website platforms to listen to your music, streams, video’s, buy beats and see your updates.
Having your own website makes it easy for people to work with you and find everything related to your music.
The easier you are to work with, the more likely people are going to want to work with you.
2. Attention Is The New Commodity
With your own website you can garner the full attention of your audience towards your offerings. This is an invaluable asset.
This allows you to have undistracted attention while visitors are on your website.
3. Social Media Companies Constantly Move The Goalposts
Social media companies constantly change the rules on what does and doesn’t get seen by your friends, followers, fans and peers.
I’m sure you have noticed that certain posts you make will receive a lot of interaction and interest while others seem to not make a ripple in the ocean. This is because social media companies currently prioritise high emotive, reactive content. These companies are looking out for their bottom line which is to keep people's attention through interacting with their websites and apps (See point 2).
Fortunately you can use this to your advantage by garnering attention on social media posts and pointing to your website. The curious will click and you will have captured their attention and moved them to your music and offerings.
This is one of the many ways to turn social media into a funnel for growing your fan base and propelling your music career.
4. All Your Creativity In One Place
Ever feel like you are spreading yourself too thin over different platforms? You may be missing out on the cross section of people who love your music. It’s likely that you have different pockets of followers that know you from different mediums.
By having your own website you have one place where your entire cross section of fans and followers can feast on all your creativity at once.
5. Capture Your Audience And Keep Bringing Them Back
We are bombarded with so much information constantly. This can lead people who love your music to forget where they heard your music and the best place to keep up with you.
“When did I hear that again?”
“Was it on their youtube?”
“I think it was on their instagram?”
“What was it called again?”
If all they have to do is visit your website to find the music they love, they are more likely to come back again and again and refer others while they are at it.
6. Professional Presence
A professional looking website for your music really makes you stand out as a music producer. Art is subjective but how you are presented isn’t. That’s why it’s important to control how you are seen and interacted with professionally.
Your own website from trackwire will give you a running start when talking to fans, followers, labels or other industry professionals about your music.
7. Save Your Time In Marketing
The most precious thing we have on this planet is time, so don’t waste yours continually reintroducing and remarketing your music. Let your website do the talking for you.
“You can find everything on my website”
8. Keep All Your Profits & Get Paid Directly
With your own website you can take payments easily and accept Debit & Credit Card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Cash App, Klarna, Bank Transfer & more.
When you make a sale you get paid directly, we take no commission, you keep all the profits from your creativity!
9. Build Up A Mailing List
A website is an easy way to create a strong database of people who are interested in your music. This allows you to speak directly to your followers, fans & peers in a more personal way instead of hoping that they see a social media post.
