Your music\u2019s perfect<\/a>? There\u2019s nothing more to do? Then it\u2019s time to start planning your explosive entrance onto the world scene. Think about who you are, what image your music projects, how you want to succeed? Do you want to be Bob Dylan<\/a> or The Chemical Brothers<\/a>? Both are massive superstar acts, but with totally different images<\/a> and vibes. What\u2019s yours?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Your music should go a long way to helping you get this central image focused in your mind, but get it right, because everything else in your arsenal of self promotion will take a lead from this primal idea. Of course it helps if you\u2019re hugely outgoing with bulletproof confidence (because it will take shots, guaranteed), but there\u2019s room for everyone. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Indie star Cat Power<\/a> started out gigging with her back to the crowd because her stage fright was too bad to let her look at her audience. Recognise your strengths and capitalise upon them \u2013 it\u2019s easier than pretending to be something you\u2019re not.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A strong image will make people believe in you, want to buy into your look and associate themselves with you. A poor image makes you look uncool and unprofessional. Look at the hundreds of sloppy band websites and myspace pages out there \u2013 this is often your first contact with a new listener, if you want them to like you it\u2019s worth making the effort. Care about that first impression, it shows you care about yourself and your fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

We can\u2019t really help you dream up your image, but there are some things on the RouteNote tools page<\/a> that should help you actuate it: sites to help you build a good looking myspace profile, guides to setting up your own website and to building widgets to put on your own and your fans myspace pages and websites, places to get t-shirts made. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
