No matter what business you are in, the basics to Marketing and Promotion are the same. You need to deliver something that people want and keep your best customers happy.
There are the basic 5 steps to propper promotion.
But first there is setting up your product for success. You have to do some research to see what people want. I have alway had a gift for being the "Enabler". I was a Director at a Major aircraft plant here in Wichita for 18 years. I could almost sense what people needed before they needed it. I knew my cusomers, my workers, my family and anyone else around me would be very productive if I set them up for success.
In an aircraft plant, it can be as small as 1 rivet of a special size can make a whole assembly line start to lose productivity. I could walk in to work in the morning and tell from the sound of the place if we were making money or not.
Now that I have been laid off from work for a year and a half, I have not thought about the need to enable peoples' success. Been kind of grouchy about losing 400,000 bucks, my job and all the nice things in life that I had accumulated.
But now that I am down to almost losing my house, that last big asset that remains of a now distant memory of Corporate America. I am not sad. The stuff never mattered to me anyway. I just liked making people successful. I still do. I like to be that guy in the back that made it all happen, but no one knows my name. Still the Enabler.
The last 2 years I have been trying to enable myself. You know that just doesn't work. People still don't give a damn what I want. Never have. You know I am OK with that. Why would they. I never asked for anything before.
I am going back to what I do best. Enable peoples' success. It works in the corporate world, with your wife, your kids, your home business, you internet marketing. Then in that 5 minitues when no one needs anything. I get to do what I want.;-)
I wrote the mission statement brainstorming with my wife Christy a couple of months back.
"Enabling the Success of Musicians Thru Music"
Someone has to do it. Stay ahead of the pack and just lead. Get people what they need and want. Everything runs smooth.
Have a great day.

Serious about making money online?
We have been working very hard for the last 2 years to learn all that we can about making great songs. Also a great deal of time learning the internet to be an independent marketing of our music.
One of the last places to speak free about how you feel is in music. One great thing about feelings. They are free. No one can take them from you. You experience them all on your own. I believe they are one of the great joys in life that sets us apart from "normal" people.
Normal people don't hear or feel music. They consider it background noise.
To my point on todays' blog. We have about 5 different types of web sites we control. We also have all the social marketing sites to control. We have so many accounts my bookmarks and passwords almost drive me crazy. It requires an emence amount of detail. If you have more than one browser, more than one computer, more than one account on all your computers, it seems the link you need is on the other computer. There is software out there that can help. LinksManager
is new software that you can buy that will do just that. Organize your links and improve your productivity.
If you do any twitter traffic work twitter tactics is highly recommended. This is such a time saver. You can increase your followers. Search them into what your site is about and improve your relationships with your fans. twitter tactics is pure gold. You will love it.
Next you will need a customer list builder. www.listbuildingclub.com Try this for any new person to get started on a list. Then of course you need an autoresponder. There is only one in my opinion. Don't get frustrated any more online. Work with the best companies. Get your business to the top and let them help you stay there. Test drive aweber today in the form below. You must have aweber if you ever want to make serious money online or track you business. They have the best tracking system around.

Home Automation|Surveillance Systems|Security Cameras
You can never be too safe now days. Everyone is running out of money. Including me. I have gone from on top of the world. About 400K in my 401K thinking my life is good. To flat ass broke.
Better be safe. Get your security system set up. I think crime is next. People will do what they have to do to take care of their families.
Go to the surveillance cameras at our store and set you up a system so you at least can see who is coming to take your house away.
Lets see, we let the government and banks control our money, now it is all gone. They print them more money yet they won't lend it to us to open a business to get us out of this mess.
I think it is about time to start our own state. Anyone else want to join?
I am still trying to stay positive. It gets harder every day. What happens when we all get angry. My counsellor says "no one can make you angry" Angry is an action not a feeling. I am feeling a lot of things. None of them are very happy.
Get out and make things happen. We can run billion dollar companies. We can't open a business and get working capital. WTF? At least we can still write some good music. The last free place to say what you feel. Record your tracks with us. We will help you promote it around the world.

Everything Audio Store is a Musicians Marketplace
New category at EverythingAudioStore.com is camera and photo accessories. I have been editing text all day. Something went wrong in the conversion between the transfer from DOBA to my brightsecurities web site.
I wonder if they do that on purpose. Words all not searchable. Different language codes. I spent all day on fixing the text to make it searchable. Over 700 products for the major brand cameras. Cannon, Olympus, SONY. So many accessories I made it's own search page.
If I add pages, I can put affiliate links on it easy enough. Which way is better? Can anyone tell me? I have some SEO software and I added all the search words into it for this audio store for it to tell me that I suck at SEO and need a professional. I say, how does a man learn that way? I have fought this damn internet for over a year now. I can't cheat now.
I have Aweber somewhat working. I have http://trainastudios.com at least gaining in rank at Alexa and Google and Yahoo. My wifes' photography web site is starting to search better. http://chrystalscorner.com You should check out her photos. She has absolutely the best eye for picture taking and editing I have ever seen. A very special gift and talent. If you need any type of photo. She would be the one to get it for you. Spend a little time looking at her amazing work. You will be a fan.
For me, I understand all this internet is important. It also is challenging and I will conquer this fricken system. I would still rather be down in my Studios recording yet another drum track.
I had a good day drumming. I am also recording in my first Hip Hop album. Seems much simpler than Metal. We will see how the final mix works out.
On another subject. If you all know anyone that can sing. My singer for Torque quit. He is hard to replace. Unique voice with a demanding presence. 6'7" Black man who loved southern metal. Check out our music on any one of our pages. Hells' Juke Joint is an awesome collection of over 2 years work in 1 album. Buy it on iTunes. I you don't love it, I will refund your money. I believe it is a plethora of good music. Let me know your opinion.
Have a great Tuesday.
