In your interactions you will collect a greater fan base just from internet alone and tweet them via Twitter. Your fans want to watch you and see you grow. This is a also a great way to share your music. You may also create YouTube videos, cleverly with an amateur camcorder, and upload to the site for you fans to share and/or a teaser for future gigs.

Write about your Rock Band, who you are and what genre your music is, including your various website links, to Wikipedia. This not only creates powerful backlinks (for seo – Search Engine Optimization) but tells the world who you are.

A blog is essential to get your name out there in cyber world. Blogger is a great place to start a diary type information point for your fans whilst linking a snippet from your myspace blog spot and Facebook accounts.
