How to... Promote your music
Promotion: Promote releases
06 Getting Help
Almost everybody in this biz was a struggling new jack at one stage of their career and they know what it feels like to be starting out.

How to... Promote your releases
As a result, if they like you and your record they really will try their hardest to help you.

At the bare minimum they will give you lots of good comments, which can help your confidence and is great for quotes when you're writing press releases.

You should think about this when making contact with people - if they like your attitude they're more likely to help you so be cool.

If you're sending your vinyl, take the time to include a personal letter rather than a standard one.
