5 Essential online tools for musicians

The internet is a wonderous place.   So many amazing tools are available for free - but it's difficult to choose which ones are the best for establishing and maintaining your musical career.

Well, here are 5 essential sites you need to be surfing on a regular basis!

1. Soundcloud

A brilliant site for uploading music, since you can embed attractive looking flash music players into any website.   This makes soundcloud ideal for sharing your tunes on forums, where you can get tips on improving your production or simply get new fans!

2. Google Calendar

Seems a strange one, but if you're serious about music as your career, you'll need to keep on top of things.   To be able to know when you're in the studio and when you're doing your weekly video blog for your fans, a good calendar can be invaluable.

Google calendar can sync to your phone if you've got a smart phone, or if you, like me, have an ancient brick, you can still set it up to send free SMS reminders of the most important dates in your calendar!   Seriously useful.

3. Facebook

It might seem obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people don't make the most of the biggest social networking site in the world.   Facebook is the ideal place to keep the maximum number of fans involved.

By regularly giving your fans new content, links to things they might enjoy and insights into what you're up to (preferably not what you ate for breakfast every single day) they will be reminded of your existence and kept interested.

4. Youtube

If you're wondering where to make new fans, look no further than YouTube - by making a decent remix or cover that people will be searching for, you can direct a whole bunch of new fans to your channel and get them to explore your tunes!

Don't just restrict it to your music though - why not review your latest Prime loops purchase, do some reviews of your gear, tutorials on how to use it and novelty videos are all a good way to draw in traffic.

5. Reverbnation

Possibly the biggest collection of tools for musicians on the interweb.   From mailing lists to street teams, widgets to blogs - it's all there.   You can even earn money from it when people listen to your music on there.

It's such a great place to keep your fans informed and your promotion on form that you just can't miss it!
