Here are a few tips, tricks and ideas for bands who smartly choose to use Social Media:

2. Connect all Social Media pages together
3. Consider a www.bandname.com website, I host my site on iPage and highly recommend them http://www.ipage.com/
4. Inform your i-team (fans assigned to help spread the word)
5. Have a friend take photos at every show, upload those photos and tag as many people in the photos as possible, connections connections connections are what you should seek
6. Every time you add music, photos or a new gig  send bulletins, post and publicize it everywhere
