Last week Apple held its Rock n Roll event and unveiled some nice new features and toys, including the iPod Nano with video. One thing that got overlooked is an awesome music marketing feature for indie bands. Apple iTunes, in their 9.0 upgrade allows people to share what they are looking at in iTunes via Twitter and Facebook.
I think this is great for musicians and I wanted to quickly walk you through this new addition.
Take advantage of this feature and also relay the message to your fans to let them do your marketing for you.
Hope you enjoyed the video.

Thanks Greg, good to know. That feature is nice, and was one of the reasons why I liked Bandcamp so much. Being able to share your music like that lets you be more direct in your sales and promotion.

Hey Mario – Yea Apple is a little behind and I expect further integration into social platforms in the future. For now this is a test for them to see how fans and artists alike share their music and drive traffic + sales back to iTunes.

Great tutorial. I have sent this out to my Tweeps. I’m sure they’ll find it useful. Thanks on their behalf!
