What better way is there to show your favorite bands and musicians support than by signing them on to your own label?

That’s exactly what Stereo Fame allows you to do.  Once you’re a Stereo Fame member, you create your own labels, go around listening to music and select which artist you want to sign-on to your label. 

The other aspect of Stereo Fame is that it’s like fantasy football except for music.  They call it “ The Social Music Game” because you can earn points and win cool stuff. You can also download music for free!!

According the Stereo Fame site:

“Each Label earns points based on the popularity of each artist they've signed. When an artist or song gets a thumbs up it benefits the label. Also, Labels earn more points for being the first to sign a band, and extra points if an artist gets a lot of attention during a small period of time.

All Stereofame members earn bonus points just for playing the game. Actions like voting for a song, referring a friend, leaving a comment, etc. add more points your score.”

Promoting Your Label and The Artists
How does this help you promote your favorite bans?  Once you’ve signed on your favorite bands and/or discovered new bands…you go around promoting your label which brings people around to listening to the artists you’ve signed on. 

The more people that listen, the more points you make…and the more exposure you bring to the music you love. (You can redeem your points to win cool stuff)

Great Communication Tool
From what I’ve gathered of Stereo Fame it is rather new….can’t find a definite date it launched but my guess is it was in the last few months.  What does that mean??

It means a lot.  It means that many bands and musicians don’t know yet about Stereo Fame.  It means you can introduce Stereo Fame to your favorite artists and be the first to sign them (hence getting more points).

Here’s what I would do:

1. Sign up on Stereo Fame
2. Do a search for my (meaing your) favorite bands/musicians
3. Find them – Sign them onto your label
4. Can’t find them…send them a note on MySpace, their website and wherever you know they’ll see your message or use Stereo Fame and invite them to join
5. Once they’ve joined, signed them unto your label
6. Work hard and take them to the top – make them the artist of the week

I guarantee you that all the bands and musicians you do this for will love you for it.

Musicians…look  for the blog post on Stereo Fame for you next week.

TGIF!! Happy Friday everyone and welcome to Fan Friday on the Your Path to Stardom Blog. 

Six days out of the week this blog is mostly focused on entertainers except for Fridays. On Fridays, this blog is now for the fans.

Fans have a lot of power to make or break an artist…particularly an independent artist.  There are many ways you can help promote the entertainers you enjoy the most, but you might not be aware of all the different things you can do.  You might also not be aware of how to be heard, listened to and properly interact with the entertainers you idolize.

I would be remiss in my duties to not inform you (the fans) of your powers of influence, abilities to help and duties to keep entertainers honest/straight.

Fridays is also going to be Feature Friday in honor of loyal fans who want to see their favorite entertainer(s) featured here on this blog.  Email me to let me know who you want me to get in touch with or leave me a comment.

We’re going to have a lot of fun on Fridays courtesy of  FANS!!
