More than being an artist, I'm a fan of music and I follow artists I look up to and admire. What i hate the most is that a lot of them use social networks and still seem so "unreal" "corporate" "robotic if you may. Its always just about the music and you never really get to see the artist or connect with them as a regular person which people like. I have been using sites such as twitter and trying different methods of communicating that keeps my followers involved. I haven't mastered it yet but I will get there. it's about testing what works best but always remembering that fans love when an artist they love communicates with them. I cant count how many times I've done a show where I took time to have a small conversation with a fan. Just that interaction alone probably touched the person in a way much more deeply than me selling my merch at a table and waving hi. Not to mention they will convince others to be a fan and buy my music thus becoming a "true fan". This mentality should carry over to an artists social networking I believe. It's not always about the number of followers, It's about the quality of your followers!! <br><br>*FLAWLESS*<br>MYSPACE.COM/FLAWLESS Well I agree with the challenge to the theory of making social networking all about the music all the time.
