promotion is always the bitch, how do you promote stuff without spamming your shit everywhere or creating internet drama to gain attention these days?

i feel like I'm spamming when I post a link in here or 8bc

Facebook is just a tool, if you put garbage in, you get garbage out.

That being said, I personally am notified of releases from netlabels from Twitter and Facebook before I see it elsewhere. Also, when performers setup event pages for gigs, I get reminders and notifications of dates.. all in one spot. It's a great tool for promotion. I'm also able to easily retweet/share releases/gigs with other people with a click of a button, so out they go to even more people, who may pass it along to another set of people.

Obviously, it SHOULD be used in conjunction with other tools. So, do your website, your RSS, your mailing lists.. but if you ignore Twitter/Facebook because you think you're just "too cool" for it, you're just missing out on reaching people. Period.

Yea and the day it gets disabled from the front page no less. RIP-OFF.

It ended on a good note.

Hi

Sorry if I seem a bit bitter, I just wasted quite a large portion of this morning hand-numbering and labeling songs.

...it's a social liability and a crutch for those with no social skills. It embraces the kind of frivolity that social interaction should grow out of after high-school.

Fuck yes! You just summed up my views on Facebook to a T.

Reading this thread made me remind that, and that I need to promote my music in electronic music sites, but then maybe promoting in retro games sites. And so on... Maybe the thing is getting off the same routes so it expand the approach to potential listeners of your music.
