I stayed away from FaceBook for years, but several months ago started a page for our band. I do all my “next gig” announcements there, and it has boosted our crowds a bit. I don’t “friend” anyone, as I found that you start getting so-called news from their pages then. But, for announcing, it seems to work on a promotional level. Something to think about if you have a band.<br>
<br>
In between my promo info, I put in tidbits about our history…..funny gigs, tv appearances, etc., as you can upload videos & photos. Any promo seems to be seen by more people if it is accompanied by a photo, and even more if there is a video. I tried paying for one of the promos to be advertised, and attracted almost 3,000 visitors. The cost was $5. However, the normal visitor number of between 100 and 200 showed up on the next non-advertised posting, so I don't believe you actually attract new people in particular by shelling out money.<br>
<br>
I believe you can read the page in any language, as mine is in Spanish, but I see that some of my U.S. family have a look-in,, so they must be using the on-line translator. I haven't yet asked them about that. Have a look by searching for Canal Street Jazz Band Madrid. (There seems to be a few Canal Street bands around the world. I know of one in Hamburg & another in Japan, but I think we got the name first since we are well into our 50th year this year!)<br>
