Country Muse. I'm sure no one has ever heard of it. What about Texas Radio Group? Those in the south and in the radio business may have heard that name before. What are these two companies and what do they do?
Texas Radio Group is a consulation group, that also sends out compliation cd's of top music artists that will be featured in Texas Radio Play Magazine and the online radio station, Texas Radio Play. How does Country Muse affect Texas Radio Group? Country Muse is an independent blog and magazine that launched over the summer of 2011. As a part of Texas Radio Group, the blog began as a way to share stories with family and my boss.
When Chris sent me to CMA Fest to cover stories and do photo shoots, the blog took effect full force. Of the week that I was in Nashville, I received over 500 views without advertisements. There were also views from other countries as well. Within a month there were a few thousand, and we haven't even hit our six month mark yet and we have had over 6,000 views from numerous countries including Canada, Germany, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Mexico, Malaysia, Australia, and more.
Launching the Facebook allowed us to post pictures and start creating a fan base. Although we do not have many "likes" on Facebook at this time, that is ok. It is more important that we are relating back to the consumer of our media and giving ourselves the reputation that we care about what our fans think.
In 2012 we will be launching the new website along with the new blog, re-vamped twitter and new campaign. The first full pressed issue of Country Muse will also be released in 2012 along with a user friendly app (that is still being discussed at this time and no information can be released).
Over all social media, has helped 24 articles/blog posts go from small to big time work. Keep looking for more from Country Muse. Check out the Facebook and "like" us for behind the scene pictures, interviews, etc with country music artists. Check out our twitter for extras that you don't see on the blog or facebook. @countrymuseblog http://www.countrymusegroup.blogspot.com/
Andrea... i think it is so cool that you are a part of this group! no, i hadn't heard of them until reading this (and seeing your presentation). it's really cool that you get to learn/see/hear these stories up close and personal and meet famous people and explain your experiences to others. it is also cool that you already have such a big following! i agree that likes are less important than actual two-way communication! i wish you the best of luck!!
