Re: Your Membership and Success Here

Dear Artist/Promoter/Music Fan, 

As a life long musician, I started this site to do 2 things;

1.) Help Bands/Artists

2.) Provide a format to where they can actually advertise their band in a quality fashion but do it on a limited budget ($0 - $Dead Broke). So I've made sure you won't need $$$$ to make this community work for you. I've also made sure that if you're willing to maybe cut out a 6 pack or a dime bag per month (lol), you can advertise your band like a freakin' rock star here. Even FREE MEMBERS have access to what would normally be PAID MEMBER slots.

You know why all these platforms that we all use religiously are FREE? You ready for some in your face and perhaps offensive TRUTH? They are free because they DON'T WORK. Yes, I said it. 

Although your little FB post goes out to 3 billion, your TikTok post on the FYP to 1.6 billion, your Spotify post to 226 million, your instagram, etc.....Yes, they go on their platform for all to see but out of those people millions and billions, the ONLY ONES that are into what YOU DO are the ones that are currently viewing, engaging, and sharing your posts. Yes, all 2-5 of them. 

These platforms make you THINK that something so HUGE will yield some great results because "EVERYONE" is on it. This couldn't be further from the truth. Should you be using them? Yes. Are you selling out your local shows because of it? Are you selling merch like crazy while using them? Is your Spotify channel exploding and people are buying your songs like hotcakes? I didn't think so. 

See my point. They don't work. They won't work. They are designed to not work. 

They are designed for ONE THING: They are FREE with shit results because they want you to ADVERTISE for better results. Their advertising platforms are INTENSE and they work wonderfully. You can literally present your ad in front of 20-50 year old gay men that like to wear tu tu's but listen to rock music that are in some music channels.

You want to find them out of the 3 billion users? You can and it can be done easily IF YOU HAVE $450-$1000 per month to sustain it. Your results would be THROUGH THE ROOF but if you're like most, your tiny marketing budget of $0-$100 per month won't work at these platforms. Again, this is by design. 

Here at NewBandsNewMusic.com, are we going to have 3 BILLION people to market to? Never.

Are we going to give you the ability to reach the masses? Nope. 

But what we have already done, is put a platform together that allows you to do the SAME THING, in terms of promotion (your videos, links, promos, show announcements, etc)  and put it in front of the most targeted audience you can get anywhere else, and will take the big ocean you are swimming in now with shit results at these giant platforms and provide you a way to affordably use an even better marketing system than those places offer (you can do much more than just post something) and present your offers uniquely and professionally to the hundred, thousands, or tens of thousands members here. The site is new and will continually grow and grow.

How do we do this? We ONLY allow those people in here and YOU (the members) are the ONLY ones that bring them here (our affiliate program). The big OCEAN of these giant platforms that you're swimming through with shit results is more like a family "pond" here but it is already stocked full of the more appropriate and targeted person you're looking for, with more and more to come. 

If you're looking for catfish only, would you rather fish in a pond full of nothing but catfish or the giant ocean that has mostly fish that are NOT into what you're doing? 

You just saw a glimpse of the technology here on this platform that could really be valuable to you as an artist. Please know that there is/will be more advancements and different marketing strategies revealed fairly regularly. You'll know about them when they become available.

Otherwise, please do the following:

Go to the "Bonus Page". There will be useful information there and will be constantly updated

Go the your "Affiliate Toolbox". Notice the affiliate link there. This is the link that YOU are going to send to everyone to help this site grow. You can make commissions down the road when I have enough activity in here but at this point, we are just telling others about how cool this is and use that link to do it please. 

Go to the "My Ads" tab > "My Sites". Make sure you place your urls/links here to be presented in the Traffic Exchange after being reviewed and approved. I'm sorry in advance because this sucks. However, it's important that we only allow the right content in here. 

IMPORTANT: You will NEED to place a link and it will need to be approved before you can surf. If you don't have a link to promote, use a music related website like guitarcenter.com, musicianscontact.com, sweetwater.com. We will approve those sites no problem.

Check out the tabs and you'll get the gist of it. If you wish to check out the bands/artists, you'll do this by using the "Surfing Center" tab > "Surf". The timer is set to only 6 seconds before you can move on and you'll start seeing your credits accumulate. There are fun games and cool things going on inside that I've added as well. Part of that technology :) Remember! It's all for fun! You'll never have to worry about it. You're welcome!

If you have questions, you can go to the "Support" tab and use the "Ask Admin" feature button at the bottom. Click that and a window will pop up for you fill out a little note for us. Part of the cool technology :) 

I am not only looking forward to having you here, but I am also relying on you to spread the word about this cool community please!

Sincerely,
