“It is easy to be a megalomaniac, but I try to what I write there”, says Rybak. With nearly 300,000 fãs on Facebook, he is the single Norwegian musician with the most followers on Facebook. Only three groups, The black metal bands Dimmu Borgir and Immortal, and the electronica duo Röyksopp, have mais supporters among Norwegian música artists on the world’s largest online community.
'Spread quickly'
Artist’s Pages on facebook took off for about 3 years ago, as a result of a major restructuring of Facebook. At the same time did the arrival of smart phones that artists on the tour were no longer dependent on a computer to update their page. Rybak’s page on facebook was created after the part final of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2009, and he atualizações it himself about 3 times a week.
“It means that I hardly need to anunciar my concert, no matter where I am. For example, I recently held a show, concerto in Turkey where there was a full house, with 1200 attendees”, with no marketing, Rybak says.
In the days after the terrorist incident in Oslo and Utøya, Maria Mena’s “My little countries” went like an epidemic through social media. Rybak also knows very well the Facebook’s ability to spread the material in the enormous speed. facebook is a very effective channel if you want a flying start with a new música video, says Rybak.
'Changed The communications'
Through facebook “side” function a user is allowed to become a fã of a música artist, or another personality, por pressing the “like” button on the artist’s page. It allows the artist to post status atualizações and links to news flow to the fans. Meanwhile, fãs post messages on the mural to the artist.
Behnam Farazollahi is the former press officer at the Bylarm and Slottsfjell and he now works at the advertising agency Dinamo. He believes that Facebook, along with Twitter, has radically changed the communication between fãs and musicians.
“It suddenly becomes a mais personal meeting between fãs and the artist. Before they were dependent on traditional media to communicate, now we see that they go around the filter and speak directly together”, he said.
'Want facebook sales'
Farazollahi believes that this direct contact can cause much stronger loyalty to the artist. “It is increasingly important when artists get their income through show, concerto tickets rather than CD sales”.
On the pages of the major Norwegian artists it is possible to listen to the música without buying it. Farazollahi thinks that this shows that there is still untapped potential of the community.
“On facebook the buyer is just a click away from the purchase. If you have mais than 100,000 fãs that follow you, facebook is a huge sales channel. Streaming services as Spotify and Wimp are also aimed at social media”, he says.
