I'm torn between hating the act of "promoting myself" and feeling like I'm stupidly ignoring a great method of advertising/promoting.

I feel like any time I'm inviting friends to a show, I'm trying to sell them a sweet set of CutCo knives. Like they feel obligated to go b/c were friends but it's not like that... When did it get so hard to get people to go to live shows???

I've got a group - I set it up before FB had "Fan" Pages.

It's a alright to have a fan page, why not? Course it's a bit self indulgant but at the end of the day peeps who like your music / mixes etc will want to know when you bring something out.

Most peeps are on facebook so is best place really.

Anyway i'm fan #17 :-)

That's the thing, I feel like it's a bit obnoxious, but at the same time, anything helps...

lmfao, cutco knives man..my brother used to sell that shit for a while before he realized what a pyramid scheme it is..but i know exactly where you're coming from man. i'm just trying to get people out because i know it's gonna be a good time, but i feel like it comes off like another selfish promoter trying to make his ends..anyway

i like to take advantage of all avenues, i mean it's free advertising really. the more places you are, the more established you seem to someone looking into you. but on the flipside, it's like people that are fans still ask me when my next show is on my regular fb account, so i'm not sure how effective it is. i doubt most people check up on artists they're a "fan" of, and probably seldom think about it unless they get an update from them (which they may or may not read). sometimes i think it's more of a popularity contest with these pages, i mean what's one of the first things you look at besides the picture? number of fans most likely.

but hey, it can't do anything to hurt, so who cares :P

I think facebook fan pages are essential! Where I am from facebook is the sole means for promotion and events. If tiesto has one, then why shouldnt any of us? haha. I'm pretty sure he has over 1,000,000 fans on his facebook page.
