Twitter is like any other social media site in that it can be a tremendous way to drive traffic to your music. However if you are just sending that traffic to your website in the hopes that someone will see how great you are and buy your album you are very likely going to be pretty disappointed.

If you are planning on ditching MySpace and using Twitter to promote your band or music, then I recommend you set up a squeeze page and make sure you are capturing the contact information of those potential fans so that you can market your music later and, with a little luck, actually sell some albums.

The basic way that I use Twitter to sell albums and promote my music is by including my URL to my squeeze page in my profile. I use a twitter bot to grow my follow count by a few hundred each day, a good percentage of these people wind up clicking on my URL and ultimately signing up for my mailing list. Once there, they are in my sales funnel and in time, the album sales start rolling in.

It is also important to communicate with the people that are following you and to a certain extent, the more posts you make the more people are apt to check out your profile and of course your URL. In the end it’s like anything, the more you put in to it the more you will get out of it. But like in the early days of MySpace, I think Twitter is a still largely unexploited traffic generating tool that is great for promoting your band or music on the internet.

trent reznor

First Trent Reznor quit Twitter. Then he jumped back on. Then he quit again. And last night, the Nine Inch Nails frontman once again returned to microblogging. Given that Reznor’s online persona was among the most consistently entertaining in all of pop music, this is good news. If only he could make up his mind!

Unsigned Underground Logo

My recent “Twitter for Musicians” workshop attracted the attention of musician and producer Darryl Gregory, who also just happens to have his own podcast show, Unsigned Underground. Darryl was so happy with the class that he invited me to appear on his podcast earlier this month. How cool is that?!

Darryl’s podcast blog is quite complimentary too! He writes:

“I met Carla at a workshop she gave entitled Twitter for Musicians where she showed the best way for musicians to use the new social media. So I know her first as a media expert and an entrepreneur. But again she’s more than that – Carla has a book “The DIY Guide to the Music Biz” Carla has a blog ”Rock Star Life Lessons.com” Carla is a syndicated columnist oh yeah and Carla can sing.”

Wow! Listen to my
Underground Unsigned podcast interview with Darryl Gregory.
