Great Ebook on Promotion

Not long ago, I did a quick write up on various blogs that I read and other interesting stuff online. I hope you've had a good look at those sites and get as much out of them as I have.

Just recently, I have discovered a great ebook on promoting yourself as an artist, a label or a club promoter. It is called Maximum Promo Vol. 1 and it was written by Keiren Brown, who runs a site called The GroundZero Project. The book covers fairly straightforward marketing and promotional techniques but does it with a fantastic dance/club music perspective. It's an easy read, it's got some great tips for aspiring superstars and guess what? It's free!

Check it out here: DOWNLOAD

And, be sure to check out http://www.groundzeroprojects.com/ They've got a pretty healthy forum community over there discussing DJing, Production and all things noisy.

Enjoy.
