In my quest to promote my music entirely online, I came across another social networking platform - IMEEM. How did I stumble upon it? via 2v1g - the Malaysians latest chinese pop music group - 2 vocal 1 guitar.

3. Upload music to IMEEM
I uploaded the mp3 of Understand 明白 to Imeem.
Imeem will provide you a widget that you can embed on your websites. The widget can be embedded by anyone.
4. Upload Videos to Imeem
Most video formats are accepted including .avi, .mov, .mpeg, and flv.
Some general tips:
- make good videos and if it is worthy of appearing at the “Featured Videos” section, you will be able to draw in more fans.
- tags your video properly. More tags will enable the video to show up on many different tag pages which will increase your exposure.
