Like blogs, networking sites also have templates that your fans can easily navigate for updates, downloads, and news. 

Networking sites were created for social networking and are very useful for marketing, promotions and even sales. 

One of the biggest networking sites is myspace.com, which is also often used by indie musicians to sell their music. 

But there are others too.

In the absence of radio play, garage bands all across America are establishing a presence on MySpace, a social-networking site popular with young adults.

According to MySpace, artists of every kind -- from unsigned amateurs to international rock stars -- are using MySpace as a way to market themselves and build a fan base.

Artists are using the site to build massive social networks and spread the word about upcoming shows and CD releases.

Another not to miss band music promotion site is YouTube.

Social Media sites like YouTube have a greater percentage of people who listen to new music than most ways that you can promote your site online. A cool Band video, with your music in it, is a great promotional tool.

Music videos can be a compilation of live shows, tour bus footage or band rehearsals.
