The Artist Development Market


The three most popular websites in my market include www.musicbizacademy.com, redmusic.com, and artistopia.com. According to the traffic ranking online service Alexa, the demographics for each site is as the following:


1. www.musicbizacademey.com

Traffic rank in the US: 72,771

Search Terms: internet music marketing, sell music online, artist bio, music marketing, artist development, sell your music, sell music.

2. www.redmusic.com

3. www.artistophia.com

Traffic rank in the US: 195, 241

Based on the information I collected about the top three site within the artist development market, I would conclude that our audience ranges from age 18 - 64, consisting of more females than males that have no children and are college educated. The traffic for musicbizacademy.com is has decreased over the past since months while traffic for redmusic.com and artistophia.com has increased. I believe this could be because musicbizacademy is mainly focused upon teaching the individual how to while the other sites are actually putting the how to into practice through real life artist development.
