Vybz Kartel - 5 Ways to Promote Your Music Offline lyrics

With so many platforms and methods available
For promoting your music online
Many artists and promoters tend to forget
That there are still promotion opportunities
To be found offline
As well while progress is
Usually slower initially
Offline contacts and
Impressions build relationships
And perceptions stronger than those that
Are formed online, so in some ways
Offline promotion has it's
Own perks with that said
If you've been looking for
Ways to "pound the pavement" with your music
Start with the following five methods:

1 cD Pushing Still Works

Many people are storing their
Music on devices and
Computers, and streaming services have
Become the norm
So it's easy to forget the marketing value of
A tangible CD this old-school method is worth
Mentioning first because it continues
To be effective, even in today's world start
By making a decent number of copies using a
Commercial CD duplication services
Once you have a stockpile of CDs
You can either hand them out
For free or offer
Them up for sale on the local market

2 attending Industry Events

If you live anywhere near
A decent sized city, there should be
Some sort of local talent shows
Competitions, auditions, music
Festivals, concerts
And other invest in yourself enough
To become a regular at a few busy
Studios in your area, chances are, other
People in the industry are going to
Notice your work ethic and eventually
You will be heard

Consider Free Shows and Features
Offering your skills for free isn't
Always the worst idea, especially when you
Need to build up some initial
Momentum in the offline world
Offering a free feature to
Someone you just met in person is a
Relatively normal thing because
Most artists recognize
That collabs and shows are good for
Building fan bases and brand awareness
Even when there's no money changing hands
