How to Make an Electronic Press Kit for Musicians | EPK Best Practices

hey guys welcome back this is Ryan from,libeled records and today we're going to,talk about EP Ches that stands for,electronic press kits why you need one,and why you shouldn't be lazy and skip,making one they're really important so,stay tuned,hey guys thanks for coming back to the,channel where we go for music industry,tips and everything you need to know to,become your own successful band or solo,artists and I teach you everything that,I know about being a record label and,how you can become your own record label,as an independent artist so today we're,gonna talk about EP Ches and the first,thing that you have to know about EP,Ches is that not everyone makes them but,don't copy what you see other people do,right I said not everyone makes them,that means not everyone is taking,advantage of what an EP K is and we can,do for you,so step one make an EP K because you're,gonna stand out from all of the other,artists that don't make them at all so,you might be wondering I've heard of EP,Ches I've heard of electronic press kits,but what is it exactly it's basically a,web page all about you it's like a,summary a Wikipedia page it's better,than an about page because it doesn't,have to be formatted for the regular,viewer of your website an EP K is a page,on your website that's hidden it's,password-protected it's not meant for,your fans it's meant for industry so,when you make this page it's going to,have everything that someone would want,to know about you from an industry,perspective these people would be venues,they'd be booking agents they would be,other bands that'd be radio promoters,blog writers college stations anything,that is on the industry side meaning,they're looking for artists they're,looking for talent they're looking to,book you they're looking to sign you,they're looking for something and you,need to provide all of your information,in a concise organized way but again,that's a hidden page it's a,password-protected page from your normal,website viewers okay so that's step one,you just got to make one now step two,let's talk about what's actually on your,EP K this is a digital page like I just,said so we need all of your digital,assets we need your photos we need your,music right we need everything that is,in a dish,format including videos right if you,have music videos out if you just have,yourself playing in an acoustic scenario,that's okay because a lot of venues they,want to see what you actually play like,so we got photos we got music we got,music videos but on top of that you need,to have your BIOS written out right you,need to make those digital if you,haven't written a bio yet that's part of,the struggle that many artists go,through they're like I need an EP k but,I just don't want to go through the time,of writing a good bio write a good bio,find someone to help you write a good,bio if you need to and also just,research what goes into a goodbye oh,okay I've seen a lot of bad biographies,out there that are clearly written by,the art

HOW TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE EPK

HOW TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE EPK

everyone brace from water bare here and,today we are gonna look at the subject,of creating an EP cake which is an,electronic press kit so that's all your,publicity materials in one place now,where does it live you can just send out,by email you can stick on a cloud you,can do it by Dropbox or you could stick,it on your own website very usefully,there's some templates online where you,can kind of put your stuff dump it on,into the template looks super,professional really quick so examples of,those fine templates are holux sonic,bids buns oogle and ReverbNation as well,what we're going to be focusing on today,is how to stand out so the first part of,your EPK is usually a Barry oak and your,press release the two things are,slightly different that by Ogden's to be,factual,the press release tends to be telling,the story about where the band and the,other you as a solo artist where you are,right now what's the story you want to,be telling imagine there were 100 EP KS,landing on the desk of a particular,editor of a blog or a magazine the one,that gets the prints the one that gets,the story told is the one with the,interesting facts so if it's tedious get,rid of it if it's interesting make more,of it I would avoid the temptation to,try and be funny unless you can really,pull it off it rarely works it just,makes you look like you're not taking,you music that's seriously the social,media statistics are kind of what,everyone wants to have a look at what,stage it you are I wouldn't worry too,much if you saw if this is an embryonic,stage for your band and you still build,it that's called people are interested,in new music but they're gonna want to,know have you got a little bit of an,audience,we know that selling 500 units of a CD,for example or a download or t-shirt 500,units is a thing you're on your way,you're a new band people start to take,you seriously so 10,000 plus genuine,views on YouTube makes people wake up,and perhaps five or 6,000 genuine people,on your Facebook community makes people,wake up and even a number like a,thousand followers on Instagram that,significant so put that stuff down we,live in an age where this stuff,unfortunately does matter,it's evidence of you having a real,audience so section number three I,recommend you think about putting some,press quotes in here so stuff that,interesting catchy soundbite Oh get it,in there because one great quote in the,press can be recycled many times and,whilst we're on the subject of press,quotes you could consider using a,professional journalist to do that job,for you it's not that expensive so for a,hundred quid you could get somebody,who's an own journalist who writes for,recognized magazines to be telling your,story for you and that's worth,considering on that same subject the,next section that we tend to put in our,EP Kay is the visual stuff so this is,BAM photos in your EPK you've gotta be a,little bit careful here because people,definitely want a press shot which is a,distinctly different f
