How to Be a Rock Star - Literally (Part 5: Another Simple and Free Instant Promotion Method)
By: Mark Joyner
Here's another short video put together by Kaching Tanker Leon Jay. It will show you a ridiculously simple way to get some free promotion for your music (or anything else for that matter).
First, let me state that I made a mistake. We received some rather useful feedback from some of the members about the contest. It seems that not all musicians want to profess to the world that they want to be famous. Or, maybe they want to be famous, but they don't want to create a video testifying such to the world.
So, we've loosened up the rules a bit. You can now tell us simply why you want the world to hear your music - and you can even simply tell us by showing us your music as well. Part 1 for full details.
OK, meanwhile check out this little video that will demonstrate just one of the many ways you can get almost instant free promotion for your music. (Hint: the same site you're about to discover gives you some rather useful stats as well - also free. Don't you love the Internet?)

Hi Mark,
Can you imagine online music without search engines?
Well, imho, that's exactly what we have now.
We don't have engines that can search songs like they can search webpages.
Google, Yahoo et al can search any webpage for any keyword.
In fact, they can search any page for any single character.
How forensic is that?
But can they do that kind of searching with songs?
No they can't. Yet.
They cannot search songs for key notes, key phrases, key hooks, key riffs, key rhythms and the like.
(Actually, it's not that they can't. It's that they don't know they can)
Imagine ... ...
Being able to punch any song title into a search engine and having the engine display pages of other tunes that sound similar (or dissimilar) based on the search stuff (melody, rhythm, guitar riff, bass line, chords etc) you chose.
Would it be easier for fans to find music they want online?
Would it be easier for bands to promote their music directly to fans?
Would the distance between bands and fans shrink?
Would contact between bands and fans be more direct?
Would online music thrive easier?
In the meantime ..
Bands have to create mountains of text to drive fans to the song notes they have poured their heart and soul into.
Fans have to wade through rivers and oceans of text to find the song notes that they yearn for.
When fans and bands have to shoot bullets with bows and arrows with guns, at word targets posing as music targets, simpleology flies out the window.
Online music, with text-based search engines only, is like the net used to be with no search engines.
Making songs search-bot friendly is not hard for bands and search engines to do.
Just a new 10 minute job to add to the music making process for the band.
But those 10 minutes remove decades-old barriers, making it easy for their fans to find them. In a heartbeat.
And music-based search engines will allow music to explode.
As text-based search engines did for the internet.
Becoming an online rock star will get even easier.
"Class. This morning we will become Rock Stars!"
Hi Mark & Leon,
Great... just learned something new. :)
Until now I didn't know TubeMogul existed... very useful tool. Replaces part of TrafficGeyser service.

Note from MJ: Frank, you have the humility to admit you didn't know something? You'll never make it as an Internet Marketing guru ;-)
