Indie groups are encountered with huge problems with songs promotion, including:

Virtually no income from gigs. Lack of money to record and promote your CDs. Few dedicated fans to buy your CDs and see your live performances. Unfamiliarity with how the music business works, and, the biggest cause of failure in music, lack of effective music management skills

The great thing is unsigned bands can be taught to promote their music! It may take a while to learn the music promotion skills you need to succeed, but you can learn them and make a fortune without a record label.

The more personal and friendly it is, the more likely the fans are to go wild over it and you and revisit for your schedule and cd sales. Websites work hand-in-hand with advertising, whether it's on biz cards, by word-of-mouth, on the air, in the air, printed ads and articles, etc. Networking is also the key - trading links and banners with music-related sites and driving more visitors to your site and fans to your shows.

Websites are not cheap, but they really are worth the time and money if you hire the right designer and promote it after it's launched. You can't sit on it when it's done, or it will be a waste of money and time. You can include great graphics - memorabilia related to your style, photos, MP3's, biography, gig dates (no matter how small and low key) and any other information you can think of.

These days there's a lot of websites where you can make your own band profile. Two of the most important are MySpace and Facebook. Follow by Last.fm and Twitter.
