I’ve written a 11 pages PDF ebook about promoting your music on last.fm.
This is based on my experience for over 2 years, to successfully promote two independent artists. This isn’t gospel, but it presents a simple and clear way to promote your music on last.fm.
I got the idea to write this ebook yesterday, after posting a simplified version of it on a musicians’ forum.
After a quick search for such an ebook, i found none so it became obvious that i should share my knowledge.
My ebook is free - my only aim is to help fellow musicians.
You can access it through the link on the top right corner of the page.

great article about last.fm. a note to artists that already have their catalogue through cdbaby. you may not have to sign up and download with last.fm, it may be in the works through cdbaby, if you distibute digitally through them. i noticed my albums are already being delivered to last.fm through the cdbaby digital distribution agreement. though you would still probably want to set up a listener profile. i’m not quite sure how it works with cdbaby, as in radio play and playing individual tracks, it could be just a link to your cd page. if so, then you’d probably want to download some albums yourself. but i have a note into them on that topic and hope to find out more.

You should also check out http://www.dittomusic.com, we used them for our single and album releases.
For £25 Ditto provide you with over 50 sites, and not just the US based ones.
Also online accounting, a fixed release date, 4 week turnaround and you can become eligible for the UK charts.
They cover a total of 700 worldwide stores and take 0% commission on sales.
They have had 7 UK top 40 singles, all with unsigned artists.
A better service for UK and US artists i think.
