Ariel Hyatt has been working in the Public Relations extensively and she wants to share her experiences with musicians and help them reach their goals. Here’s Ariel in her own words:
A lot of artists find the idea of building a musician’s website daunting. It’s difficult, it can be expensive, and is it really necessary with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Spotify, Bandsintown,YouTube and all the other profiles you need to manage? In a word, yes.
While a certain amount of business and fan growth takes place on social media, if you don’t have an effective website, you’re going to have a hard time being found and noticed by fans and industry (bloggers, managers, A&R reps, etc.) alike.
You absolutely need to have your own domain as it represents your official homebase on the web that is fully in your control. Effective social media trends come and go, (hello Facebook!) but your website is yours forever. It is perfectly possible to create an effective website at an affordable price.There is a global marketplace of fabulous platforms and talented designers (like ours) who can help you build a beautiful site for a few hundred dollars.A lot of artists drive themselves crazy building websites because they forget that simplicity is key.
Read my blog post all about it which includes the 7 simple website elements you need to include to make your site relevant and easy for fans and industry to navigate here
