Hey Moccc, I don’t think anyone is going to give up their exact spots where they promote. Maybe if you P.M. them or something. Much like a fisherman wouldn’t give out his favorite spot I think it is the same here. We all know if a good forum to promote that gets results was given out here everyone would smother it before the day ends. Just use google in a smart way. And yes promoting your work or spamming in forums where it is most likely other musicians will get you no where. Would a mortgage company advertise to other mortgage companies or target home buyers? Everyone is very helpful in this community to a point but no one will spoon feed this info.

lol very true :) I was just up my local canyon (Big Cottonwood in Utah) and I saw this fishman fishing and I was going to ask him where is some good fishing in the canyon(besides) where he is currently fishing. But then it hit me that he will not like that question…or me for that matter, because he doesn’t want to give away his precious fish :)

LOL sky, good call. Never mess with a fisherman and his fishing hole. He would of probably sent you to the worst part of the river.

You can promote in many many places, but if you promote to the wrong audiences, that wouldn’t be much good right? Know your target markets and buyers
and how do you ?
Good question ;-)
That’s what you refer to as a trade secret. But well, I can tell you I do some promotion of my files with some SEO knowledge. And there are many ways to SEO through articles, video or even paid advertisement!
