Being a musician - even an established label during the digital age can be a big challenge. When alot of music is being streamed online, or given away - or downloaded on torrents, you would think it’s even more challenging.

You can engage with users, and create fans without having an expensive PR team.

It all started with Youtube and Viral marketing. It spread to personal multimedia on websites. It continued with Rovion… For $3,000 you could have a professional nudge on your site bugging all your repeat visitors (but it looks cool). Microsoft’s bought it, and servicemagic has as well.
