September, 14th 2011 10:45

In this age of niche markets, Twitter profiles, YouTube channels, and Facebook Fan pages communicating with a fan-base is now more direct and arguably, easier than before. This does not mean, however, that fans just appear from nowhere and you should think carefully about which tools you’ll be using for fan-base curation, as well as your communications plan, and database storage.

6 Tips to Optimising your YouTube Presence

August, 11th 2011 16:37

Last week, on the Zimbalam blog they posted their top 5 tips to increase YouTube views.

We liked it – it’s really useful, so we’re reposting it pretty much as is, albeit with one addition, Keyword Variations, so welcome to 6 Tips to Optimising your YouTube Presence.

  1. Tags
    YouTube gives you 120 characters to put as many keywords in as you can, and it’s imporatant to fill all the space – the more words, the more chance the algorythm will pick your video up.

    The words you use should be a mix of common and specific words. For example, if you’re in an indie band common words would be ‘music’, ‘indie’ and ‘band’ while specific words would be along the lines of any sub-genres you have, e.g. ‘electro’ if you are an indie-electro band, and instruments like ‘guitar’ and ‘synth’.

    Please note that for even better optimisation it’s also a good idea for your first tags to be the words in the title of the video. (more…)

Make the most of YouTube with Believe

August, 2nd 2011 18:03

In February, we announced that we’d inked a deal with YouTube to improve our label’s online experience, since then we’ve rolled out a new service to our labels and it’s high time we explained it to everyone.

Guide to Believe’s YouTube Services

Comprised of four levels of service, Believe’s YouTube service, helps labels by creating monetisation strategies and special marketing opportunities:

Level 1 – Audio Fingerprinting Delivery

This service tier, by far the most basic, gives labels and artists more control over their content on the YouTube system.

Believe delivers the catalogue to YouTube, allowing the automatic identification of all videos using the label in question’s content; from there Believe can clear up any ownership conflicts which might arise over content and monetise or remove any unauthorized content.

We’ve been making changes to the BelieveBackstage to help you optimise your connections.

First, we’ve tweaked the contact exporter, giving you the ability to export contacts in two different ways:

  1. As an entire database.
  2. Filtered by pre-selected categories.

Exported contacts will be added to an Excel file which contains all the information that corresponds to each email address (age, gender, zip code etc)

We’ve also added new customisation options to our e-mail grabber tool. As always there are three methods to grab contacts:

  1. Believe Digital Player
  2. BelieveBand Profiles – which allows you to offer a free track in exchange for an email address.
  3. Blog compatible email grabber – which allows you to customise widget colours, in addition to exchanging free tracks for addresses.

Stay tuned for more Believe Digital news.

New Believe Facebook player now available!

October, 15th 2010 17:11

Listening to music on Facebook is not an easy job. There are certain technical restrictions built into the platform, designed to limit music streaming tools within the website.

Therefore, we have worked with Facebook to develop a player that is secure and efficient and will allow you and your fans to share your music on Facebook, on users’ walls, via the internal messaging and more.

Making use of this new tool could not be easier, simply paste the URL of your BelieveBand profile into Facebook and the pop up widget shown below will appear. E.g. http://waynebeckford.believeband.com/

This tool is available free of charge, to make use of it, simply set up your BelieveBand profile from your Believe Backstage area.
