Until recent times, Indie Artists and the labels they set up for themselves had a hard time getting their music heard by anyone outside their own
backyard pool of fans. With guerilla marketing finally becoming common practice
and online music stores becoming a main stay for the music aficionado, record
pools are now open for business to the general indie population.
What is a record pool? Basically, a record pool is a membership of DJ's that act as an
intermediary between DJ's and the music makers. The power behind a record pool
is that it can reach a mass, global market in lightening speed.
As of 2005, there are over 7000 DJ's and industry professionals who are part of this
digital revolution. In order for a DJ to belong to a record
pool Cubs Kris
Bryant Jersey , they must pay a monthly association fee to obtain the
latest and most current music.
Frequently this music is available to them before it becomes available to mainstream radio, and because of that, record
pools quite often have more of an initial impact than the popular mainstream
outlets.
The power radio programmers have over radio, clubs and street music is now handed over to the DJ's who participate in the record pools,
allowing them to have control over what they "break."
So how can you get an invitation to swim in their pool? No invitations necessary, but you must have
a good professional product that is available in digital format (although I did
find one that accepted vinyl).
Some of the record pools now require that you have your own
label Cubs
Kosuke Fukudome Jersey , meaning that you don't submit as your band name.
That is easily done by setting up your own label (too much information to go
into here, but you can find the information inside my book The Indie Guide to
Music, Marketing and Money).
Once you have the business side taken care of, start searching the internet using the keywords, "record pool," and then
contact them to be certain that your style of music is part of their
repertoire.
Don't randomly send out your online or hard copy press kit to every record pool you
find Cubs Kerry
Wood Jersey , just as you wouldn't send your music to every station you
discover. E.g., a country record pool isn't interested in acid rock and a
classical record pool won't be interested in spinning a blue grass tune. Then
begin to submit your CDs using the contact information you acquired. Do you
homework and beware of companies that don't post charts or may be music
collectors.
Here are a few record pools I found on the web:

The time for indie artists is upon us, but you better take advantage of record pools now, before someone puts
a "no swimming without a lifeguard" sign out. Copyright 2006

Lots of company owners still use business cards to enhance their enterprise. It sounds as if despite the contemporary progress in technologies
and marketing and advertising, the good traditional business cards stay a
frontrunner in the marketing strategies sector. So if you’re looking for the
best and a lot of affordable to promote efficiently lately, it might help to
stay with business card printing.
Needless to say Cubs John
Lackey Jersey , it is crucial that you produce an upmarket card that can
help you stand out against ones competitions. May be the only strategy so that
your buyers will see you. Let’s see how both of these work and how to protect
yourself as a card owner, and how to implement security measures in credit or
debit card printing.
Electronica magnetic card skimming
Just lately, devices have been demonstrated that are able to detect and copy the information from a magnetic stripe together with RFID (Radio Frequency ID)
built into credit cards from a distance around 1 yard! Imagine, when someone
copies your permanent magnetic stripe, all they need is your ZIP code and they
can freely pump gas at gasoline stations.
Watching your credit-based card statement regularly will discover such fraudulent activity. Carrying your cards in [u]“radio-opaque” credit card sleeves [u]will help as well. And, whenever you are out and about Cubs Joe
Maddon Jersey , be aware of men and women that try to spend period around
you or try to strike conversation with you and are attempting to stay in your
immediate vicinity, and behave suspiciously.

[u][u]Swiping with embossing [/u][/u]
[u][u]Just lately some banks are introducing plastic credit and debit cards without worrying about the embossing of the identify, debit card number, along with the
expiration date on leading of the card? Well, only they know why. But,
likely Cubs Javier
Baez Jersey , it is simply too easy (in only one swipe, just like with the
old credit card imprint devices), to get the vital information away from the
card. To prevent that, indeed, removing the embossing in the credit cards will
make it much more difficult, and obvious for someone in possession of your
credit card to take the details down.

[u][u]Making sure that your card is never using sight for a long periods of time is a good strategy against such copying attempts.
Also Cubs Jason
Heyward Jersey , be sure to rely on anyone you hand your card over to, for
instance the store. Cheap Jerseys
