As an artist, you need to spread your music to every place on the web where your fans might spend time. Bolt is one of those places. Here are some tips on how to reach fans that live at Bolt.

1. You can paste TunePak links anywhere on your profile, comments, or blogs on Bolt and it will allow users to bring up a stand-alone player pre-loaded with the music you have uploaded to ReverbNation.

2. You can paste the FanCollector, Player Widget, or Show Schedule in certain areas on your Profile (for example, any of the “About Me” fields). Comments on other users pages also support the FanCollector and Player Widgets.

3. Post Blogs containing ReverbNation widgets to give your Bolt friends and other users yet another chance to hear your music, sign up for your mailing list, or see where you are touring soon.

4. Widgets also work in Bolt Forums. Start a new thread in Music and paste your player widget into your post. This is yet another way to increase your presence.

Please feel free to add to this thread if you have any other great ideas for tapping into Bolt. Check back often for updates on the latest ways to reach your fans at Bolt.

How To Get A TunePak – To get a TunePak link of your music, visit your profile page and click the “Create TunePak” button on the “Songs” tab on your artist profile page. You may then rearrange the order of the songs if you would like. Select the “Get URL” option for the correct URL to copy and paste in any of these networks or anywhere else.

How To Get A Widget – To get either of the Show Schedule widgets (Regular or Tour Map), either of the Player widgets (Regular or Mini), or the banner for your ReverbNation page, visit the “Widgets” tab on your profile page. Select the widget you would like by clicking it. You will be given a chance to customize the color of the widget. Once you have completed that, copy the HTML code listed. This is what you need to paste in the allowed areas of any Social Network or website.
