Re: Self-Promotion, Ambient Music and Radio

[Milo <milo.vuc@gmail.com>]

If your goal is "to help drive on-line sales from suitable exposure",
then you will need something more advanced and serious than a free
MySpace page. Web hosting is very cheap these days, there is no reason
why you shouldn't base your operations on a nice .com website.

It is more probable that a dj/producer will mention your .com website
on air than your MySpace page. For some radio networks, there is also
other less glamorous things involved, living under the table. Not all
media companies like to promote MySpace from their shows. A .com
website belongs to the artist, so there is no business conflict
involved.
