paying for promotion can have a great ROI but I would work the social networks and start connect with artists,media companies that can benefit from your services and those that you can benefit from their services
right now I'm working tackling each of the major social network over the next 90 days and link building
this takes time and patience but its about building a foundation for the future of your production company providing stability
Personally I think gaining the attention of other artists is a losing strategy. "Check out my song", "Follow me", "Download my free bootleg remix", Like me on Facebook", blah blah blah lol. We are now at a point where you have to pay to be heard. The Internet is no longer a place for no name talents who are penniless from what I've seen.
after i copyright my instrumental, i can sell it on my site for a lease or exclusive, correct?
