How To Use Social Media To Promote Music: Get A Digital Strategy In Just One Session
on Wednesday, November 30, 2011
at SAE Institute in Atlanta, GA
A digital strategy can mean the difference between "Who are you?" and "Wow, look at how many albums you've sold!"
Good news: you'll find more places than ever to interact with other professionals and reach new audiences.
Bad news: where do you find the time? Between tweets and tags, groups and clouds, friends and feeds, pings and pages, diggs and blogs, you could spend ALL your time on social media and never make a sale.
Once you've narrowed it down - which is what this session will help you do - what are the best ways to effectively and efficiently increase your Internet presence on social media platforms?
Get tips, tricks and strategies from industry leaders Ian Burke and Russell R. Suave to maximize investment of your time and get greater response for your client, music or project.
The Internet is hailed as the great equalizer for those seeking music marketing and distribution opportunities. But mere presence on the Internet does not stimulate demand… or sales. For that, you need a plan.
And that's what you'll get with this 2.5-hour in-depth workshop. For the busy music biz entrepreneur, this is a step-by-step blueprint for success.
YOU WILL LEARN
Blogging for fun and profit Ways to updateALL your social media at once Secrets to building an online community of fans who support the artist financially Ways to increase Web traffic: 3 things you can do to double your readers in 30 days How to get more people to comment on your posts. How to write magnetic headlines, killer content and other tricks that generate more traffic to your site How to get ratings and reviews How to form a proper Call-to-Action: How to get people to "Buy This Now!"

NARIP Radio Executive Sessions
Intimate Meetings & Pitch Sessions with Programming and Music Directors of LA's Top-Rated Radio Stations
Session #3 with Power 106-FM's Jimmy Steal on Wednesday, November 2, 2011
at Universal Mastering Studios in Los Angeles
Session #1: Sep 28 with Julie Pilat, Assistant Program Director / Music Director at KIIS FM and Program Director at KYSR 98.7-FM Session #2: Oct 19 with Andrew Jeffries, Head of AC Formats at 1043 MYFM (Hot AC) and KOST 103.5-FM (AC) Session #3: Nov 2 with Jimmy Steal, VP of Programming at Power 106 (KPWR) / Emmis Radio Properties DETAILS
What do Julie Pilat, Jimmy Steal and Andrew Jeffries have in common? They program music for the most popular radio stations in Los Angeles and are all special guests at NARIP's Radio Executive Sessions at Universal Mastering Studios in Los Angeles.
Come meet these three important taste-makers at NARIP's intimate sessions, pitch music, receive feedback, and get an inside peek at how they do their jobs.
You will learn:
How do they interact with major labels, indie labels and artists? What persuades them to add a record? How do they like new music? How to level the playing field with major labels? Fan development and interaction Also: cross-promotions, marketing tie-ins, performance opportunities at radio stations, sales, charts and more BACKGROUND
On the heels of NARIP's successful Music Supervisor Sessions - intimate meetings with the best music supervisors in the business today - NARIP is proud to introduce its Radio Executive Sessions in the same mold.
Through NARIP's Music Supervisor Sessions, NARIP members have made placements in significant projects, including most recently Peter Kimmel who has placed songs from his catalog in True Blood ("Soul of a Man Never Dies") and in Dexter ("Jhaira") following our session with Gary Calamar earlier this year in Los Angeles - read more about these exciting placements here.
Placements secured and professional relationships formed through these meetings are so good that we felt this format would work well for those who seek intimate pitch opportunities with the best (and busiest) radio executives at the top-rated stations in town.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT OF ONLY 15 PEOPLE PER SESSION
Limited to 15 people per session, NARIP's sessions enable you to get to know the executives and more importantly, enable them to get to know you. Participants will be able to pitch music on the spot and receive instant feedback as to whether a song is appropriate or not, and WHY. This valuable feedback makes better pitches - and ultimately, radio air time - possible. Please note: NARIP cannot guarantee that any participants' music will receive airtime.
Above all, attendees get to meet key players in the modern radio business, paving the way for future opportunities and giving them an edge in a highly competitive market.
At each NARIP Radio Executive Session in Los Angeles, participants will have the opportunity to pitch music and get immediate, direct feedback from one radio executive.
Here is what attendees say about NARIP's Music Supervisor Sessions (the same format as the upcoming Radio Executive Sessions) held earlier this year in Los Angeles:
"Thank you again for providing one of the more professional and useful events that I have ever attended. It was intimate, precise and well-executed. The feedback was immediate and valuable." - Eric Caver, PTEC Dojo (attended Andrea von Foerster session)
"Another successful and extremely well-organized NARIP event, please keep them coming! ... [it was] an amazing opportunity to pitch our music to Gary Calamar in such a personal and focused setting." - Sven Spieker, Mighty Generation Music (attended Gary Calamar, Andrea von Foerster and Chris Mollere sessions)
Very, very informative and helpful. Thes

"ONE OF THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES TO NETWORK" IN THE BIZ (Music Connection Magazine)
"NARIP brunches have been a HUGE benefit for me and my company," says Geodesic Management's Dan Strader from New York. "In just a few hours at a Los Angeles brunch, I was able to establish a presence in that city and make solid connections that I still use to this day. Networking brunches have now begun in New York, and the connections we've made are career-changing."

How To Use Social Media To Promote Music: Get A Digital Strategy In Just One Session
on Wednesday, October 12, 2011
at SAE Institute in San Francisco
A digital strategy can mean the difference between “Who are you?” and “Wow, look at how many albums you’ve sold!”
Good news: you’ll find more places than ever to interact with other professionals and reach new audiences.
Bad news: where do you find the time? Between tweets and tags, groups and clouds, friends and feeds, pings and pages, diggs and blogs, you could spend ALL your time on social media and never make a sale.
Once you’ve narrowed it down " which is what this session will help you do " what are the best ways to effectively and efficiently increase your Internet presence on social media platforms?
Get tips, tricks and strategies from industry leaders Michael Brandvold (KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, UR) and Hisham Dahud (DJ Shadow, Pretty Lights, The Green) to maximize investment of your time and get greater response for your client, music or project.
The Internet is hailed as the great equalizer for those seeking music marketing and distribution opportunities. But mere presence on the Internet does not stimulate demand… or sales. For that, you need a plan.
And that's what you'll get with this 2.5-hour in-depth workshop. For the busy music biz entrepreneur, this is a step-by-step blueprint for success.
YOU WILL LEARN
Blogging for fun and profit Ways to updateALL your social media at once Secrets to building an online community of fans who support the artist financially Ways to increase Web traffic: 3 things you can do to double your readers in 30 days How to get more people to comment on your posts.
