One More Thing
I’ve decided to lower the price of the With A Voice Like This Christmas because of the way the digital distribution works and I felt it was the only way to be equitable with everyone involved, especially CD Baby. This presented an opportunity for me with the person who  immediately bought my CD at the higher price and what I decided to do about that.

Next week’s show will be recorded on Tuesday, November 25 because of the Holiday. Join me then live.

065 – Press Releases and MP3s

recorded 21 August 2008

4-AM
I’ve been practicing writing press releases after reading a section of the book Promoting Your Podcast by Jason Van Orden and run through the standard format of a press release, what needs to go into a good press release, how to structure the writing and where and when it should be sent. I used the blog entry How to Write a Press Release to help illustrate the points.

At Any Rate
This episode’s At Any Rate was a lot of fun for me, since I got to play some of the new Demo clips that are going up on the 4-AM website. Those include Rhumba Girl, Too Late Now and I Remember You. I also played a snippet from an arrangement I’m working on of Follow Me, by Uncle Kracker.
