You described 2 very basic marketing principles you would find within the first 10 pages of any intro textbook. And that is it. And then you plug a soon to be product. You offer nothing and try to disguise your obvious sales pitch with promotion advice.

Not the smartest way to promote your promoting tools. And that is ironic.

Considering the fact not too many dj's and producers even try reading such any marketing book I'd say it's not that bad . It's not supposed to be top of the league, it has to be easy to read. I don't intend to write books, just to spread a bit of knowledge in small bites.

Besides that I want to share what the Loving Music project is about/doing on ideological and technological grounds.

And of course it's part of a pitch. I'm not even gonna pretending to be part of a charity project. I intend to make money on this project soon.

but you don't apply the definitions. You just mention 2 concepts and disregard how they have changed and evolved and how one might go about using them now. So in terms of content, there is really nothing there. Which is why i'm skeptical. No actual information yet a link to a product. And when you specialize in marketing, it is somewhat embarrassing and in the same league as say drdrum.

It isn't that it is simple, it is that you don't apply it and therefore render it completely pointless. Pointless but with a link to promo your own wares. Thinly veiled spam.

The point is that given your motive, you should present something a little more substantial. Otherwise it just comes across as you selling something instead of sharing something but happen to also have something to sell.

Apart from distribution (which I don't intend to do anytime soon) it will be easier, more user friendly, and more complete. I don't want to elaborate because there are features I haven't seen available yet in a music specific promotion tool. The test I'll be starting with is basic email promotion. The niftier features will follow after.
