A good way of raising your profile in the industry is by developing a good web presence. It is common practise nowadays to google a person to gauge their progress in their area of expertise.

your profile as your website

If you don't have the time or resources to create your own website but want to develop a web presence with your own address, such as www.yourname.com , you can do this by purchasing a domain and using web forwarding (free with most domain sellers). When people type in your domain address they will be redirected seamlessly to your media music now profile. 

finally... 

Be patient, persistent and consistent as developing a web presence can take some time. Search engines can take many weeks to index you and make you available in search results

Choose your words carefully, for example, if you tell somebody to search for you on the web under music… they will be searching for a very long time, whereas, telling them to search your name and music will make a huge difference. 

Be persistent. Keep doing it… a burst of activity may yield results but be short-lived.

Be consistent. It is no good changing direction or worst still changing your name or domain throughout a campaign.

Having your name published on a website that is ranked highly in the search engines is very beneficial, being a small part of a high volume site will establish your web presence very quickly.
