Jade Simmons and David Weuste present The Social Media Minute, a video program lasting only a few minutes, and appearing each Friday ! This week, David and Jade discuss Google Music’s launch of Artist Magnifier and the ability for artists to upload their content directly to Google Music without the need of a “middle man” distributor.
Points in this episode:
- More Access means more competition
- Must plan ahead for marketing strategies before expecting your music to simply “be discovered”
- Same as having your music in iTunes, just having it there doesn’t guarantee sales
- Not optimistic that Classical Musicians will be “Magnified” by Google Music
- Definitely a serious music store with Android users on the upwards trend
