Hi guys and gals,

There seems to be some confusion regarding the purpose of this forum. So, I thought I'd start a new post to hopefully clarify things.

As in the forum description, this forum is for discussions related to Publicity and Promotion.

Publicity/Promotion meaning:
"The act, process, or occupation of disseminating information to gain public interest."

Examples of Publicity/Promotion type of topics that would be applicable to this forum:

• Getting CD Reviews
  
• Putting together a press kit
  
• Dealing with the media. i.e. handling inquiries, etiquette
  
• Promotional Photos. i.e. Headshots, CD Covers
  
• Promotional/publicity type of tools. i.e. websites, press kits, business cards, postcards
  
• Markets
  
• Writing pitch letters

Examples of topics that *would not* be applicable to this forum:

• General chit chat type of subjects. e.g. the weather, your personality, the weekend.
  
• Advertisements
  
• Strictly business type of topics such as taxes, organization, business licenses.

Basically, topics that are not related to publicity/promotion in any way. There are forums here for most other topics.

I hope this clears things up for everyone? If you need further clarification let me know.

Kathy

Additional Note: Since this seems to happen frequently; if you post an advertisement type of post here it will be deleted. (There is a specific forum where you can advertise your products/services.) The same goes for anything that does not fall into the guidelines above.
