Top 6 Ways To Get The People That Matter To Listen To Your Music

1. Before you send some one your music make sure that they want it. Not saying They are particularly looking for your music, but make sure they are looking to listen to music PERIOD!!!

2. ASK!!! Spamming gets you nowhere but blocked. Some people actually many people including myself will not even open the mail. I delete it quick if I'm not expecting it because your 20 mp3 files take up space in my storage.

3. Tell the person you are sending it to, why your sending it, Do you want feedback, are you looking for new production and you want the person to get a feel of you flow, radio airplay, promotion, etc? If a person doesn't know why your sending them music and they do a number of things they will not ask and will not listen. You are selling yourself they are not shopping.

4. If you see the person who's attention you are trying to get promoting or asking questions. Get Involved! Answer the question, Retweet! Peoplle still have some form of human instinct. If you support them, they will notice.

5, Know who you are promoting too. My biggest pet peeve is someone saying "What up my dude, listen to this..." I am not a dude. Networking is just that Networking. Take the time out to say hello, converse with me, something. Use some vaseline, please.

6. Send universal music!!! Plain english MP3′S to people that you are emailing your music to. Do not send links, if a person is interested they will google you. If someone says send me a track, why are you sending a link?

those links, people are afraid to click them because too many viruses exist. Plus people with google email find it easier to listen to it DIRECTLY from their inbox. Plus it’s easier to share if I DO like it so make things easier on yourself and others and just attach an MP3 FILE.
