Research Task: How The artists use the internet

Most artists use the internet as their main source of advertising. However, the use of the internet is not only to advertise but to keep the audience updated of what the artist gets up too as well as getting feedback from them. Another reason why artists choose to use the internet as their main source of advertising is that it doesn't cost them anything. 

Artists such as Lilly Allen have a wide range of accounts on social sites such as myspace, twitter, facebook etc. She uses these in order to get ideas for her new releases by uploading her trial video's etc before publishing albums. The use of this is to be able to get as many ideas as well as critics in order to be able to attract more audience.
