  • Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) September 05, 2012 - Gale Rosenberg, president of the music marketing company Web 'n Retail, was interviewed on the Bay Area's KDOW "The Wall Street Business Network," for the live radio show "PUNCH: Media and Marketing Made Easy" with host Erika Taylor-Montgomery. As an expert in online music marketing, a subject that Rosenberg lectures about at UCLA and Loyola Marymount University, she answered the host's questions about elements of online marketing, blog postings and press postings.

    The interview primarily focused on the most important key to "Online Marketing 101," which is to establish an online presence on search engines in order to be found by prospective customers who may use a variety of search queries. One online marketing element that can accomplish this goal is viral blog postings that drive traffic to artist websites or other URLs.

    By posting information on forums, bookmark-sharing sites and news aggregators, along with tags or keywords that potential interested parties may be searching for, these campaigns have far-reaching effects in marketing -- not just music, but any product or service to a niche audience. She provided definitions for each type of site and cited examples by name that fit into each category, as well as information on how to find the sites, register and post information to help "spread the word."

    When asked about other elements that exist in the online-music-marketing arena, Rosenberg replied "eBlasts, blogs, social media, like Facebook, online press-release distribution and SEO are the most basic that come to mind."
    Lastly, Rosenberg cited examples of free PR-distribution sites that she recommends because they rank highly on Google. These sites include 1888PressRelease.com, 24-7PressRelease.com, PR.com and her top pick for distribution of music-related press, mi2n.com.
