VYRAL MUSIC

Vyral University: Band Metrics: Complete Walkthrough

NEED A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO PRODUCE QUALITY STATS...Band Metrics has created a website that allows you to do just that...

Band Metrics is an analytics site created to measure a band/artists level of social

interactivity and track things such as twitter, radio play, and fans of your social networkpages. It is a surprisingly easy tool to navigate and use, and allows you to quickly sign

up and get started by logging in through one of your social network accounts such as

twitter, Facebook, and others. I have found this Analytics tool to be useful for situations

in which you need to access Twitter data quickly and effectively. Band Metrics is

currently in Beta mode, which seems to affect some of the features and functions of

the site. Hopefully, there will be added stability, as well as many more features to come

as Band Metrics expands its platform.

A

Quick and

Easy way to get

stats related to

your band.

one of your various social networks:

You may choose to login with any one of the six options. I will walk you through the

process of signing up with each of these options. It is important to note, however that i

purposefully logged out of my accounts so that i could show you the process for each

from start to finish. When you click these accounts on your browser, you may find that if

you are already logged in to that specific account, (ex: Twitter) that it will automatically

locate your credentials and just require you to give Band Metrics permission to access

your account:

Band Metrics is definitely a

tool worth checking out. It is

not the best platform forMusic Analytics, nor is it fully

functioning. I have found it to

be fairly easy to use (when it

does work properly). It is very

easy to create an account

and get started, which makes

it an added bonus to anyones music analytics toolbox.

There are many new features that Band Metrics has promised are in the works,

including expansion to other social networks, added support for multiple artist accounts,

and more. At this time, however, it seems to be only useful for Twitter statistics. Use this

tool along with a much more expansive Analytics platform, and you will hopefully see

the benefits of its data.
