I see these services fit, embedded in a post one your
own website. As
standalone, since all of those services are prone to the myspace-death,
you don't want to spend time promoting that, effectively risking having
to start over the entire promotion process. You better promote the post
on your own website where the song is embeded, because if the service
dies, you just embed another one on the same page, and the URL is safe. :)
I see it like this: to reach out, be EVERYWHERE, and use ALL services.
BUT use them as satelites to your own URL. Not the other way around. It
makes me sad to find artist-pages being mere links to facebook and
whatnot. It's like they are not interested in creating album-art, or
giving me an experience they just want my demographics. And how hard can
it be to sell music on your website? Well, probably equally hard as to
sell files on the internet.
All well and good, but I can tell you first hand that when I was
actually making money creating arrangements and orchestrations, there
was absolutely no time nor money to develop and maintain (or pay someone
to maintain) my own web site -- multitasking is the biggest fallacy of
the modern era, you excel at something or are mediocre at many things
... jack of all trades, master of none.
