.
Question:
What is a "Priority" Listing?
Answer:
This
is simply a way to get your listing closer to the top of the FREE
Music Report. Our "Priority" Listings come first! By being
closer to the top, your listing can grab the attention of a potential
Music Industry Contact easier, and faster.
Question:
What is the FREE Music Report?
Answer:
The FREE Music Report is sent free to radio stations, magazines, film & T.V.
productions companies and record companies. This report is not free to be
listed in. CD Register is the one and only way to get listed in this
exclusive report to the Music Industry. This "resource and publication" is supported by
the Bands & Artists who include their listing. Much work goes into the organization of this distributed
report, and every connection established out of trust and respect
for the music industry contact. The small fee covers business
expenses and small profit for time that goes into this. CD Register
allows Bands & Artists connect with the Music Industry in a way that
would not otherwise be possible.
Note:
Similar
services charge more than a dozen times this amount (yes, really). Keep in
mind, this is by 3000 Records operated by musicians for musicians.
Question:
Huh, I still don't get this..What exactly is this about?
Answer:
Ok..
this is a service first of all. We provide a solution for
getting your music out there, to people in the music industry who
genuinely want your CD. Many Bands & Artists send their CD to
stations, record companies, etc... who never asked for it. This can
be a waste of time, money, and energy for everybody. On the other
hand.. The FREE Music Report is sent to the DJs, A & R people,
and other music biz contacts, and allows them to select only the CDs
they want. Each month they get a fresh selection of the newest music
available to them. This works for everybody! Hope that makes sense.
Question:
What styles of music are acceptable?
Answer:
All music styles are acceptable! If you feel that
your music is appropriate for independent radio, magazines, film
& T.V., and record companies, then
you are welcome to sign up to get your CD into the right hands.
Question: How does this
work?
Answer:
We have built connections with DJs from radio stations (community radio, college radio, internet radio, satellite radio,
etc..) and Writers (magazines, zines, ezines, webzines, newspapers,
etc..), film & T.V. Producers, and A & R Staff from record
companies.. They
are notified that your music is available through the FREE Music
Report, and where to preview your music and information. If your
CD is suitable and the DJ is interested, they may request your
CD for airplay consideration.. If a Writer, Producer, or A &
R person is interested they will also let you know, and request your
CD for review.
Question:
What can I expect once I sign up for this service?
Answer: We will include your
listing in our next edition of the FREE Music Report sent each month by email to
our music
industry contacts. If they are interested in a receiving a copy of your CD, you
will be contacted! You may also receive a request for an interview
by DJs and Writers, A & R follow up, or use of a song by film
& T.V. Producers. Those who request your CD may also contact you to provide you with feedback regarding your CD. In
addition, you get a 30 Day Money
Back Guarantee, so there is no risk to you.
Question:
What will my listing include?
Answer: Your listing will include your Band / Artist Name, CD
Title, Music Genre, Description, Download Sample Link, and Email
address where music industry contacts can request your CD.
Question:
How long will my listing be included?
Answer:
Your listing will be included in our FREE
Music Report for 3 months. After that your listing will qualify to be
included in the FREE Music Directory (optional service)!
Question:
Is it guaranteed that my music will get played on air or that I will
receive a magazine review?
Answer: No. We can't guarantee airplay or reviews since that
is up to the DJs and Writers. We can only guarantee your listing
will give you the opportunity to be considered for airplay and
reviews.
Question: How will I
know if a music industry contact is interested in getting a free
copy of my CD?
Answer: You
will be notified by email of a request for your CD.
You will be responsible for
sending your CD to the person who requests your CD.
Question: What happens
after I send my CD after it is requested?
Answer:
Once your CD has arrived, the radio station DJ or Writer can consider your music for
airplay, or a review. If a film & T.V. Producer
has requested your CD, it may be considered for use in a film or T.V.
show. If an A & R rep from a record company has requested your
CD, you may be contacted for more info. about your music, etc... It is also advised that you
follow up with each music industry contact that requests your CD, to make sure that your CD was
received and given proper attention. Feel
free to ask for playlists, reviews, comments,
and other feedback.
Question:
How often will my CD be promoted to the music industry contacts?
Answer:
The FREE Music Report is currently sent monthly. Your CD will be
promoted in 3 issues. Your music will also be promoted daily through
the FREE Music Report (.Org) web site, when a new music industry
contact subscribes online. New contacts receive the most recent
Report once their subscription is approved That's a total of 3
months (approx. 90
days) worth of promotion!
Question:
Do you accept checks or money orders?
Answer:
Yes. Make checks payable to 3000 Records and send to our Mailing
Address. Please write your Band or Artist name in the
"memo" area of your check.
