How to gain quick traffic to Music Recording/Production niche?

Hi everyone!

We've started an educational project for people involved in Music Recording/Production (producers, sound engineers, songwriters etc) and hold seminars and masterclasses all over the world (Europe, Asia, US) headlined by the major names (producers) in the industry for helping our audience improve their professional skills and experience. These classes are far from being cheap, which makes the prospect segments rather small, but the names are really great, which makes the experience outstanding.

Anyway, we've got to set up the sales funnel online whereas various offline means are applied.

- We've got a website (but no blog, though);
- a page and a group on FB (should be more likes, though);
- a Youtube channel (should take some time to get a valuable amount of subscribers);
- we do adwords.

But we need more quick targeted traffic to our pages, and we need it now.

Any ideas? Has anyone delt with anything of the kind?
All opinions are appreciated.

    @trooba I recommend that you add Like our facebook page onto business cards and materials. Do same with your youtube channel.

    Add these links to your site.

    Get reviews from your customers. Give out a feedback sheet at the end and let people fill them out.

    The people that come to your courses are a great way to build up the online presence. What you need is also to benefit from the online to your courses.

        You can also get authority blogs in the niche involved by asking them to support your project. Many will be happy to offer you a guest post or let their readers know via social media about such an interesting project.

    1. Ramp up your advertising on Adwords for both search and display.
    2. Advertise on other search, display, and content networks like Bing, Facebook, Adpushup, etc.

    I'd rather tell you an ugly truth than a pretty lie.

    Hi OP, if you got time on your hands or someone to handle this skillfully I'd go for twitter. You can find conversations going on using hashtag search and you can get in touch with people talking about music production, or you can find people who follow well know music producers etc.

    What I'd do if I were in your shoes, I would contact recording studios (you can pm me the link btw, I am interested myself, owning a studio :-) and I am very willing to share) and some such places directly, send them facebook messages, mail them, ask them to help and share, share your link to their timeline etc.

    I'd also get in direct contact with media, webzines, blogs ... about music production. You may ask them for a feature and if they are reluctant you can try and bait them with the prospect of putting an ad on their page.

    There are also a gazillion of music production forums where you can write a post and put up an ad.

    Audio Engineer schools like SAE might be interesting as well, and music stores (I mean gear, instruments)

    It'll be some work and maybe a fair outlay of money for ads upfront
