Promote your Music, Concerts and Videos

We've just released an update that gives you new tools to promote your music, concert listings and videos. The goal of these tools is to make it easier to share your music with fans no matter where they are on the internet.

The heart and soul of these tools is the Promotion Checklist which you'll find after you upload an album, create a concert listing or add a video. This checklist will give you options for promoting your content on:

• Social Networks (Facebook and Twitter)
• Your own website with Widgets
• InstantEncore.com
• iPhones
• and more...

The Social Networks item gives you a fast way to post your new content to Facebook or Twitter. If you want, you can even save your Twitter account info so that you never have to leave the Control Panel.

We've also made it easier to embed widgets of albums and concert listings. Click the "Embed Widget" button in the checklist and you'll be given quick access to the embed code and a preview of the widget. There is also a link that you may click if you want to customize your widget.

In addition to the Promotion Tools we've also improved the Video management. You can find a complete list of your videos directly in your Control Panel (just click "Videos" in the Digital Assets section of the Control Panel). Each video includes links to view, tag, and of course promote the video. The pages for adding new videos to InstantEncore has also been redesigned in an attempt to make it quicker and more straightforward.

Take a look at the changes and let us know if you have any comments or questions.
