Find Out Why Every Musician Needs a Website:

Okay, so with Facebook pages, Reverbnation and MySpace pages why on earth would a musician need their OWN website?

Online Real Estate, baby.

Let’s say that one of the three websites mentioned above no longer existed. Yeah, maybe Facebook will be around forever, maybe it won’t. I’ve learned there is really only one thing that you can count on…that change is inevitable.

So, let’s say you used one of the three as your HUB for years. That’s where you spent all your time building your network, that’s where you sent all of your fans and then suddenly *poof* it’s gone.

How would you feel?

I personally would be devastated. I actually had that happen with some content I had created years ago…I won’t go into it here, but let me tell you, it really showed me the importance of OWNING whatever it is I was working on. And THAT is why every musician needs a website.

But what do you do if you aren’t “tech savvy” and have no idea how to go about it and probably don’t have the funds to pay someone to do it for you?

You find a free website builder and or figure out WordPress on your own (WordPress makes it pretty easy these days). But the most important element is to OWN your own domain.

What’s cooler?

A Facebook Page that houses your music or a domain name WITH YOUR NAME OR BANDNAME in it?

As a fan of many musicians, I have to say I much prefer their webpage. But maybe that’s just me.

When you have your own website you now have a place where you can build your on-line presence and CONTROL everything about it. You can obviously add buttons to the social media platforms where you can be found, because those are still very important to spreading the word. But you will no longer be relying on them with your future.

PLUS you can generate income from your website in more ways than just selling YOUR music.

What’s that, you say?

Yes, you can make sales on your music…that is the obvious goal. But did you know that you can also make money on the TRAFFIC that comes to your website whether they purchase your songs or not?

There are many different ways to monetize a website, from Google Adsense to making money as an affiliate for say…iTunes and Amazon. How cool would it be if you were making money on the sales of OTHER PEOPLE’S music?

I don’t want to confuse you or overwhelm you with any more details, you’re still probably stuck on the How Do You Build A Website idea, right?

So, please, feel free to leave me a comment below or contact me with any questions that you might have.

You can see my website(s) here:

http://www.kat-tracks.com
http://www.katsember.com

If you’re wondering why I have two, it’s because I’m greedy. Just kidding. Actually, I’ve had kat-tracks.com for years, before I knew what I was doing and WAY before the name Katsember ever came to pass. I was already getting quite a bit of traffic to kat-tracks so obviously I didn’t want to scrap it, but Katsember is my band now and something I want to BRAND. So I have two. End of story, deal with it.

But you only need one 😉

So to recap:

– Build A Website so that you OWN a piece of real estate online that you can build on and control for years to come

– Monetize Your Website – Make sales from both your music, as well as other’s, and even make money as an “affiliate” for businesses like Amazon, iTunes and more. Or simply use Google Adsense on your website so that you can possibly make a little money just from the traffic coming to your site

– Link Your Website to Social Media Platforms and gain followers and listeners

How to Work From Home Online

Working for Peanuts — **Which Would You Prefer?**

Work From Home Online by starting your own internet business. Start my own business you say? Are you insane? What about the start-up costs, what about the maintenance and the hassle, where would I even begin?

No I just want to work from home on the internet, for someone else, that’s much easier…but is it?

I’ve done a lot of freelance work myself and I gotta tell you that finding the work is half the battle sometimes. It can be quite a headache, and then, most of the time, I’m working for peanuts.

I like peanuts as much as my dear elephants at the zoo, but I’d rather make actual money, if it’s all the same to you.

So what if I could show you how you can easily and quickly (and for free) being your own internet business? Would you be interested? And I tell you what, you could even do it while you’re looking for those peanut paying jobs. If you find some great, everyone could use extra peanuts, right?

Okay, if you are still reading this then you are interested…even if just a little where I’m going. So let’s get started.

To start your own online business you only need THREE things:

1. A website
2. Free training and support
3. A plan

That’s it. Pretty simple, but I’ll break down each one for you anyway as I’m sure some of you are stuck on the first one.

A Website

Why do you need a website? Think of it as your store front, online real estate that you will be building on for years to come. You can create this website on any topic that you like, preferably something that interests you – if it interests you chances are it will be interesting to someone else, and having passion for your new online enterprise is going to be very important. I’ll get to how you go about getting a website in a moment.

If this is a brand new concept for you, having your own online business, chances are you are going to need help getting started. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place because I happen to know of the #1 place online to get free training and support (plus you will get personal help from yours truly ;), Hi, I’m Kat and I’ll be your personal coach, nice to meet ya!). This place also offers free web hosting and if you don’t want to spend any money on your own domain they even will get you started with 2 free websites. You can read my review of this online community by clicking this link. (Don’t worry it will open a new window so you don’t lose your place.)

Everyone needs a business plan if you are going to start a business and even though this business isn’t going to cost you anything to get going or maintain (aside from your time), you still need a plan. The place I mentioned above can help you with this plan if you’ve no ideas popping into your head. But it is more than likely that if you brainstormed for just a moment about things that you love or interest you you’d be able to come up with a concept, or niche, for your website.

What’s Your Next Step

I hope you’re getting excited by now about the prospect of having your own website (online store) that you get to create and build upon each day. Not only will it give you something else to do while you’re looking for those other “little jobs”, but you’ll probably get a real kick when you get your first sale! That was an exciting moment for me, and I’m sure it will be one for you. Definitely be sure to let me know about your successes as they come, they brighten my day!

So your next time if you haven’t already done so is to head over to this ONLINE UNIVERSITY and join with a free starter account. I will come say hello first chance I get and answer any questions you might have. The university is action based so upon entry you’ll immediately start the free training which will get you a free website up faster than you can say build a website. Watch the video below about how they can teach you how to build a website in 30 seconds.

Everything will start to fall into place as you go through the training and you’ll have your website up soon. Then you simply work on it consistently and you’ll start to get free traffic with the methods they teach. You’ll be learning how to be an affiliate and how you can make money with the website you just created, regardless of which topic you chose. You can even make money if you want to sell kitten attire, if you’re into that sort of thing.
