Social Networking With Music
GT Bulmer © Affiliate Power Central
One of the key ways to apply Affiliate Power to your Internet Marketing business is through Social Networking. Some online marketers may not realize that you can do Social Networking with music.
I am active as a Twitter member and through Twitter I was introduced to a great online music sharing site called Blip.fm. My Blip.fm user name is BlipStarr.
Blip.fm allows members to access and listen to millions of songs FREE, posted by members. The Blip.fm Terms of Use outline exactly how songs can be added to the Blip.fm playlist with due
and proper respect to the legalities of copyright.
Basically, once you become a member, you have your very own Internet radio station where you choose the songs you wish to listen to. Also, you can “blip” or “reblip” your favourite tunes so other members can listen to them as well. It’s all very easy to set up and quick and easy to do once it is set up.
Here’s where the “Social Networking with music” part comes in. In your Blip.fm profile, you can include a link to your personal or Internet Marketing website. As you become active as a member of Blip.fm and fellow members get to know you, they will be interested in knowing more about you, so some of them will click your web link to find out “what you do.”
Additionally, you can set your Blip.fm station to automatically send your music blips to other Social sites like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and more. This will increase your exposure across many platforms and the whole idea behind Social Networking for your Internet Marketing business is to expand your presence on the Net.
As with many Social Networking communities, your participation on Blip.fm is not necessarily going to drive hoards of traffic to your marketing site – at least, not until your Blip.fm “listeners” number in the tens of thousands or more. But it is definitely one more way to spread yourself wider across the Internet. You will place yourself in front of members at Blip.fm that you may never be able to reach elsewhere. In other words, Blip.fm is simply one more tool or resource that you should consider adding to your Social Networking toolbox.
By the way, there is NO marketing or affiliate plan with Blip.fm. It is free and open to everybody. Nobody earns money by posting or blipping songs and nobody earns money by signing up new members.
On the other hand, Blip.fm DOES offer some incentives and rewards to active members. You can earn a variety of “badges” for things like how many music blips you do, how many “props” you give to other members for their blips, how many props or reblips you get from other members, how many different members reblip your blips, and more.
There is also a badge for being a Promoter. You earn this by getting friends and associates to sign up as a Blip.fm member.
So … this is my invitation to YOU to consider becoming a member (DJ) of Blip.fm. As mentioned earlier, it’s FREE, quick and easy to do. Also, it is FUN and having control over the music you listen to is great!
You may not have previously thought about Social Networking with music. Now’s your chance. Take a look at Blip.fm and if you like it, sign up to get your own programmable Internet music station!

Hi, Gil:
Thanks for the comment and thanks for signing up at Blip.fm! WELCOME to the DJ Team!
I’ve reblipped your first spin and have given you a couple of props for it. I had the privilege of seeing Savage Garden live a number of years ago before they split up to pursue individual pursuits. Awesome musical talent, both of those guys have!
Thanks again!

Hi, John:
Thanks for the comment. Like you said, Social Networking is important and it is worth one’s while to check out all opportunities, even Social Networking with music.
Blip.fm isn’t for everybody, but those who enjoy running music in the background will appreciate it. But here is a warning – LOL – just like many fun and popular things, Blip.fm can be addictive! One of the badges available is the “Marathon” badge that you earn by blipping at least one song an hour for 24 hours. Well. You KNOW I’m not the guy to put that kind of challenge in front of. I earned my Marathon badge the weekend before last!
Thanks for checking it out.

Hi GT
Thanks for the introduction to and your thorough overview of Blip.fm.
I just love your image of the kitty with the headphones on, who seems to have really got the hang of social networking with music!!!
Kind regards

Hi, Cynthia:
Thanks for visiting! If I was a little more technically adept I would figure out how to add some music to that cute kitty pic.
