Research planning: The online revolution

Online revolution is a good way for artist and bands to promote themselves to their global auidences.

Pixie lott:

Pixie Lott is an artist who has a online website where she can keep her auidence updated with all the latest news, song and ablums which she will be releasing. Looking on her website www.pixielott.com I have seen that her fans write posts onto a wall where she can see what her auidences think and like about her, which helps her for the future as she can see how she can entertain her audiences to her full potential.
On her website you can find out when she is playing on tours and what events she will be attending, you can also buy promotion items online which Pixie Lott on t-shirts. You can look up her music and her videos on her website, you can also read about the singer on her website and how she has been discovered.
This is alot easier for her audiences to find out about what Pixie Lott is doing, also it's a good way to directly communicate with her Audience as in modern day life today alot of people are using the internet rather than buying magazines or going to record shops to buy their music, whereas now they can download her tunes from online such as "iTunes".

Immortal Technique:

Immortal technique is a artist who does not have a website, but does have other sources of online broadcasting, such as he is signed onto MySpace where his fans can listen to his music.
Although Immortal Technique has not got a website He is quite well known, not globally although in some way He is, as He is a American Rapper who has somehow managed to become known in the UK. This is mostly trhough " word of mouth " that people would have heard of him.
Immortal Technique had one of his songs featured in a film called "BAADASSSSS" Where people who watched the films could hear his music and research his music on websites such as MySpace. Also this was a good way to attract the audience he wanted to attract, as it was a certain genre of film that his music was used in, this gave the audience which watched the film the chance to listen to the his music as they wouldn't watch the film unless they liked that certain genre of film which also features a certain genre of music to go with the film. I think that was a good and interesting way to attract his audience without having his own offical website.
Immortal Technique also featured on some magazine covers such as "URB" which is a music magazine, he promoted himself on this magazine by being the front cover, attracting his "gangster and criminal type" audience easily. As they would be likely to read these types of magazines and certainly be drawn to read about him as he was on the front cover
