Promotion through Music Videos.
About two years ago, when I just started this page about " music promotion sites and info",I knew that music videos would grow more and more importants, and this Not only on music promotion sites, but also for every web site that has artists to promote ( like there are record labels).
But I never could have guessed that this would happen so fast and with such an big impact .

The music promotion company!
This is an other way that you can walk. These music promotion sites are doing all the promotion and targeting to record companies and music publishers for you, are great help for bands.
For a fee of course. Some asking a (rather big) fee. Others asking 50 $ for three month promotion.
Some are doing compilation CD's. This will cost you also money my friend. If you're a band or a performing artist then you can give it a try.
But Pure songwriters, I would recommend no such kind of music promotion.( But this is my humble opinion of course)
For them it's a waste of money. Asking some 250$ or more( some 500$) to include in the compilation CD!!!
Of course, as a band, you get a lot of exposure. But as a pure songwriter... I'm not sure about that point.
Only if you ( the pure songwriter) don't care about the money,by all means, sign in.
Note: If you're been asking for an inclusion on a compilation album( for a fee) That's nice, because not everyone is being asked, only the better songs will have a chance.( the company always makes an selection of all the received demo submissions)
Even the smallest record company received about five hundred demo's a month's (and more). So you are one of the five hundreds. Thats not bad,I would say.
The best way of music promotion is spreading your money. Don't lay all your eggs in one basket, or with other words: do different sorts of music promotion. This will give the best results for you,your band, and your musical talents.
I have just mentioned a few , but I'm sure there are a lot of them more. Try to find them too. Promotion is an important part of your business, If you want to succeed. So, always promote yourself as a professional would do.
The music promotion sites!
And..., about the promotion to record companies and publishers. If you get rejection letters or no letters at all( even when you include self-addressed, stamped envelop) . You must realize that there are ten thousand( and more) of record labels in the US and five hundreds( or more)In the UK. It's like fishing in a big boil with more thousands of fish swimming around in it. But...,I'm sure there's a fish specially for you too. Try to catch that fish and your in the game. If you want to succeed, and never have to worry about receiving an rejection letter, Then this may be the best solution for you.
