#1 music promotion secret
#1 - Write great songs.
So who defines "great"?
If you're interested in marketing and selling your songs... other people do.
NOT songs that YOU think are great, but songs that OTHERS think are great.
Objective others who have no vested interest in the "success" of your music.
Aerosmith says "Let the Music Do the Talking"... that's the secret.
If the music is great, it will promote itself. Anything else you do is icing on the cake.
Simple? Yes.
Easy? No.
Now you know.

Cool site Tom, but wouldn’t you say that the secret behind the secret is content and building a list? Seems to be what you figured out here ; )

“wouldn’t you say that the secret behind the secret is content and building a list?”
Agreed. That IS the secret… “content” which results from great songwriting. The list, I believe, is best and most easily built with this great content. So which comes first the content or the list? Without the former, the latter won’t exist… at least not long-term.
