It’s Just Good Marketing

I was talking with a friend the other day, and something he said jumped up and struck me, dead in the forehead.

He was talking about how some friends of his, who were musicians, were making some really cool synth wave stuff out in LA. He basically wanted to introduce them to Immitter.  His reasoning, is what struck me over the head top.  “It wouldn’t hurt them to have another channel, its just good marketing”.  I think we need to take a step back and listen to the words coming out of this non-artists mouth, someone just looking from the outside in, a listener, waiting to be converted, to a fan.

Sometimes we are so trapped in our bubble of “cool”, that we miss the whole shit.  We’re blinded by being where everyone else is at, instead of working to be where everyone else is not.  Get your music out.  To more channels.  And once you’ve done that, even more channels.  Now, is the only time in history that you can literally ride the waves.  Let your music work for you, not the other way around. Besides, It’s just good marketing.

Connect, Share, Discuss

Today we are launching a NEW forum for the Immitter community of artists, bands, and music enthusiasts. Our goal is to provide a platform to share and discuss new ideas, strategies and topics surrounding the independent music industry. Topics range from education to entertainment. We are excited to watch this community grow and evolve organically.

Forum features include, direct messaging, private group conversations, and the ability to create new public discussions around your favorite music topics. As the community grows we will definitely be adding more features.

The Immitter community will also serve as a place to directly reach the Immitter staff in regards to site issues, improvements or suggestions.

Active community members stand the chance of gaining recognition outside of releasing new music, becoming a thought leader in the independent music community by sharing helpful insights, tips, and how-to knowledge, and winning the respect of peers via staff promotion to moderator status. All moderators help protect the immitter community to make sure it stays a fun and safe place to network and meet new friends.

log-in / register to be a part of a growing community of emerging artists, bands and music enthusiasts.  The first 20 artists that introduce themselves in our New Members discussion will get a lifetime Immitter Pro membership for FREE.

We’re looking forward to meeting you, learning more about you and, most importantly, watching you GROW.

The Origin of Spam

For those of you that don’t know, the word SPAM on the Internet evolved from the 1970 sketch comedy routine by Monty Python titled…Spam.  It shows a diner where anything and everything ordered came with SPAM, Much to the chagrin of Hormel Foods, maker of the canned “Shoulder Pork and hAM”/”SPiced hAM” luncheon meat.

Immitter recently went live with a new distribution feature that delivers our TOP artists on a weekly basis to our entire mailing list of 1K plus subscribers.  But of course, this is not without one glaring hitch, we’ve noticed our email ending up in the Junk mail, we are now SPAM!

Seth Godin, talks a lot about the idea of Permission marketing and only delivering relevant timely messages to those few that actually are looking forward to receiving them.  If this is you, we urge you to dig through your junk mail and set us free.  Let your email provider know that THIS IS NOT SPAM!

We only deliver our weekly email to those of you who have subscribed to Immitter in one form or another and by no means do we champion or relish in spam.

If you’re not interested in receiving our weekly update, we’ve provided a link in the email to allow you to easily unsubscribe.

That being said.

We implore you to please take some time to make sure that you are receiving our weekly update in your inbox, the thousand + artists that we represent would really appreciate it – And so would we.

As for SPAM, lets take a look at where it alllll started.  I hope you enjoy the history lesson.
