What We Offer - The Benefits of Dynamic Online Interviews
Listen, Read, Watch - All at the Same Time
The biggest advantage of the web over a traditional magazine interview for music is an enhanced visitor experience. Someone can be listening to your music or watching the video at the same time they are reading your interview article, giving you the opportunity to showcase all of your talents in one place at the same time.
Being web based, if someone likes your music and style they can follow your facebook page or twitter account immediately.
Perhaps you're currently selling your music. Well placed links through the article ensure that a reader could be purchasing your music just a few moments after reading your interview.
Update the Interview Article as You Have New Content
Another advantage is that the online interview can be updated regularly. Say that you have an upcoming itunes release in 3 months. No problem, as soon as your itunes songs are released we can update the interview article to include your latest songs and even a link to your itunes store front.
Say you've just released a new music video. No problem. Just let us know and we can incorporate it onto your site. Showcase your talents and keep up-to date!
Perhaps you have some upcoming gigs you'd like to tell your fans about. Just include them on your feature artist interview.
Increase Your Web Presence
Having more websites mentioning your name and music will increase your web presence. It will encourage people to visit your facebook page, your twitter account and your main music homepage. It will ultimately give people the opportunity to engage with you, buy your songs and become your fan.
Having external sites, such as your online interview at Essential Pop, linking to your own sites pages will be great for SEO, boosting the popularity in the eyes of Google, Bing and Yahoo for your own sites too.

What We Can Do For You
At Essential Pop we have developed an interview system which will showcase your talents to the fullest with minimal fuss and also offer incredible value.
Example interviews at Essential Pop
Picture Manipulation in Photoshop if Required
As part of the information you provide we ask that you send us your professional promotional images. We're experts in Photoshop so happily resize, crop or add colour filters to the photos to make them come to life (if required).
We'll improve your promo photos
This attention to detail is what sets us apart from everyone else. Of course, if you'd like the altered images for other promotional purposes just let us know and we'll happily send them to you.
Appraisal of Your Music
At the end of each article we will summarise your music and your vibe for our readers.
In order to assist with your own exposure, such as press releases, it sometimes is beneficial to include these excerpts in a press release. Sites, such as Reverbnation, often have a section specifically for your quotes from press releases. Why not include part of your artist interview in an associated press release to generate even more interest in your music?

Final Thoughts
Doesn't advertising on websites suck? If you look through Essential Pop we don't run advertising such as Google Adsense. We believe this reduces the style and ultimately the appeal of a website and the experience for the readers. By completing a feature artist interview you are supporting creative content without the need for advertisements.
