Indie Music

Hello my fellow artists and musicians. I'm sure you're wondering about what I am blogging this time. Well, I have decided to dedicate this blog to informing independent artists of the many indie music websites to feature their artistry and connect with many music fans and other artists. This networking also gives the artist the opportunity to be heard by many other indie artists and advertised by word of mouth, which is the best and most credible advertisement yet. You can register and upload your music on all of the following sites for free, or of a small nominal fee, or depending on the package that best fits your needs and goals:

Here you can sign up free of charge by uploading one song with no music review, and by paying a monetary fee with regards to your music being reviewed and entered into Indie-Music's Top 25 Awards. Then you are screened for notable artists, editor's picks, radio stations and much more.

There's a low transaction fee for sold songs and free members pay a fee of $7.95 and up to sell their songs. Fans can earn Indie points every time a song is sold from their profile. Indie points is a loyalty program that awards to hardest working artist. Every time a song is uploaded, it is shared to many social networking sites, automatically sharing your tunes to friends and fans.
