I've been in contact with the great guys over at Bln.kr throwing in some ideas and suggestions on improving their ALREADY AWESOME service. If you actually do a research on these guys, what they're doing has already made heads turn toward them and there's a lot of reasons to do so.
I won't go into the history of it but go straight to the point...
Bln.kr is a great way to share your music to the world and your networks.
It allows you to upload your track and be able to share it automatically in a lot of your networks, blogs, emails, etc. Perhaps it's close to how Ping.fm works by sending out the update in a blast but for music. That's just one side of it. It then gets you feedback from all over so you get to monitor if people are actually listening, downloading or sharing your tunes!
From the site "Every time we post a status update, blog post, photo, or video, we are doing so because we want to share a piece of ourselves with the world. And when we share, we seek a response.
As artists, we experience a little thrill every time we get a new comment on YouTube, or a "like" on Facebook, or a "retweet" on Twitter. And we feel anxious, annoyed, disappointed when our hard work goes unnoticed- especially after we pour ourselves into our music and struggle to perfect our songs. The creative spark is a rare gift, easily encouraged, but just as easily extinguished. All artists need engagement from an audience to energize and accelerate their creativity. Creativity needs feedback. bln.kr is the best way to get it." As I mentioned earlier, it sends it out to the networks you with to hook up with the service and from there, it's a one click affair in sharing your tune to all of them. One feature that I LOVE about it is how it uses YouTube to promote your tune. I've always wanted to tap YouTube in promoting my music but I found the hassles of getting music into a video editing software, adding a photo, dragging it for the length of the song, rendering, etc... too tedious. With the YouTube feature, it's included already in the shared networks so it's SO EASY! This is one of the main reasons I'd push you guys to sign up. What's nice once you sign up, is that they give you an automatic PRO account to try out for free so you can get a feel of how easy it is and how it can help your promotions.
Just type in bln.kr in your browsers address bar to go the site and sign up! The Pro account is also very tempting if you look at it so you might also want to consider that.
With the PRO account, you get the YouTube videos, you get to upload multiple formats, you can also run FB/Twitter download campaigns, Host remix competitions, use custom images, protected tracks, QR codes, and more!
But don't feel the PRO account takes away the good stuff, the free account is more than capable to make signing up worth the time. Try it :)
Promote away!!!
