Promotion and Publicity
Something we don't talk about much here, but is equally important as theory and production is promotion.
They say that success in the music buisness is 50% talent and 50% promotion and who you know.
So what do you guys do to promote yourselves? Do you just send out demos and hope that you get contacted?
For me production is fun and easy, but promotion is hard and tedious. I spend lots of time networking with local DJ's and try to get them to play out my songs. I landed college radio gigs by networking with the DJ's that play electronic music shows. I manage to get some airtime on some internet radio stations (xtcradio.com is the best!). I hand out CD's at the major clubs in my area (which is freaking expensive). I'm working with a graphic designer on having a web-site created (which is also freakin expensive because he is a pro). What other things should I be doing without going broke?
