Promotion ideas

Post by Jim of Seattle »

Turns out my Welcome to Windows song is, well not on fire exactly, but on ember. I'm wondering what suggestions some of you might have for me to further promote it, since it seems to be pretty popular, and I'd like to take advantage of that. Remember, this is a solo piano thing, so http://www.hiphophits.com wouldn't be an option.
Here's my record label page thingie with stuff about me if you are so interested: https://greenmonkeyrecords.com/jim-of-seattle/

uh.. i question the logic of wanting to promote something containing a copyrighted, trademarked piece of audio from a company that could pay to have you killed.

and uh, for whom you work.

Yeah, well if they wanted to come after me they would have already, as a lot of people here have heard it. If someone wants to write me a check somewhere along the line then I'll write an email or two and find out how much trouble I'm getting into. Good thing to remember, though.

I can't imagine a MS designed hit going very well anyway. hitman2005 wouldn't get to you until 2008, and then sniper rifle trial license would run out just as he had his shot lined up.
