Today is Wizdom Wednesday w/Praverb . Here's a video tutorial from back on Sept. 2, 2012 that focuses on "How To Reply On Twitter | Social Media" , this is a much needed practice in today's world of music & blogging. See below in Praverb 's thought's and suggestions regarding this subject. Award your audience when they post or share your material. Use Twitter Search to find out who is posting your content and reply. The key to the replies is to make sure they are genuine. You want the replies to be personal.  The only way to make a reply personal is to address the recipient by name. Furthermore, thank the poster for taking the time to share your content.  Make sure that you are not just copy and pasting the same reply...speak to your poster's interest, this requires a little research yet it leads to establishing and maintaining relationships. - Praverb Website : http://www.praverb.net Twitter : http://www.twitter.com/PtheWyse Fac...

It's Wizdom Wednesday w/Praverb and here's an article the Praverb posted on his site ( Praverb.net ) 2 years ago entitled The Ultimate Graphic Designer Directory . Read & Enjoy!!! I decided to write this post after fielding questions about graphic design. A lot of artists (rappers, emcees, singers, beatmakers) contact me about album cover artwork. There are tons of graphic designers that can make your CD artwork/single artwork stand out. A lot of artists struggle with finding available graphic artists. You can find graphic designers on forums, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, DeviantArt, Pinterest, Instagram and more. The goal of this post is to make your search easier. Why did I put this Directory together? I put this directory together because I value CD/Single artwork. I struggled finding artwork when I started releasing material (music) to the masses in 2004. I found that a lot of my friends were graphically challenged haha. They could rhyme well but...

Okay sometimes you may feel like you can't gain access to the right people. You may feel like your music is stagnant. When you have tried everything on your own and you still can't get through to certain people it may be time to hire a publicist or PR team. Why would you hire a publicist? You hire a publicist because they have connects, experience with press releases and knowledge. They will help you get the coverage that you need and get your product in front of more people. For example, a publicist might send out a press release for Rihanna Tickets , or a publicist might contact blogs or your behalf. Their name is gold (understand the importance of name recognition). Publicists are invaluable because they only pitch material that they believe in . Pam Perry stated th...

Today is Wizdom Wednesday w/Praverb and here's and interview that Praverb did 4 months ago with Mack Collier ...Checkout the wisdom in the article 5 Strategies for Building & Sustaining A Twitter Chat . I have been following and participating in #blogchat for almost two years, would you mind briefing explaining the premise of #blogchat? The idea behind #Blogchat is that once a week, bloggers can come together and talk blogging, share tips and ideas with people that love blogging as much as they do. It really helps to bounce ideas and questions off other people that are going through the same things you are, and who have the same point of view. The thing that I love about #blogchat is the sense of community. People take time to read and respond to tweets. What made you gravitate to a Twitter Chat? I saw that Twitter was really taking off in popularity around 2009 and the tool was a great way to facilitate real-time interactions and discussions, so it seemed like a be...

Musicians nowadays have to understand the power of marketing in regards to sharing their music. The industry is constantly changing. Artists did not have to worry about marketing in the past. They just released the music and let the record label do all the work.

They have to develop a DIY attitude to build relationships with their fans . Artists need to understand the power of marketing . Where do artists start?

Today is Wizdom Wednesday w/Praverb and today's wizdom is from a post Praverb posted during a time when he was unemployed and how during that time he became creative. Check out what the Big Homie wrote below and check out more gems at Praverb.net . You constantly repeat the same routine. You wake up. You spend time searching for new jobs and you apply to those jobs. You have a strategy in place. You call the employers after three days pass. The day arrives and you are nervous. You pick up the telephone with sweaty palms and a perplexed mentality. You try not to "Lose Yourself" and project a sense of confidence as you talk to the operator.   The employer gives you the same pitch that you are accustomed to, stating that "they will contact you if your resume matches the job description."   Depression begins to set in.   Being Unemployed is Depressing There is nothing like being a starving artist that does not have a job. On December 23rd, ...
