Guest djnemo Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Dear members of Psynews, It was brought to our attention that maybe we would need a promotional area for various types of artists. We are thinking of creating a new section within our community which will be called: Promotional Area Post your promotional products here: dj mixes, free tracks, radio stream shows, art work, photos, links, etc. There are diffrent types of structures on how we could build this area, so let us take you through the diffrent types. 1. One main section, with all types of promotional products, all together. Please take into consideration that in this case, some people may think that certain types of promotional topics will not get enough attention; on the other hand, other people might enjoy this type of layout, because they think that people who post promotional products will know how to get the readers' interested, by choosing a "good title" for their topic. or 2. One main section with subforums, and each subforum will have the above mentioned profiles (mixes, tracks, stream shows, art work). Meaning that if you would like to see Deco and art for example, you go to that subforum. In this case, some people might complain that their topics would get isolated, because the readers would find themselves having to perform an extra-click while surfing psynews, and we all know this can turn into a "ah nevermind" thing; while other people might think that the section would look more organised and people would not have to browse through all the section searching for a certain type of promotional product. We understand that there will be a lot of diffrent views on this, and would like that you vote in the poll, how you would like to see this section. Of course, the dj mixes currently located in the Music Making section will be moved to the Promotional Area. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amphiton Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Option 2 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djnemo Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Let me add, that option 2 would NOT look like Musicmaking "Check out my Tracks". It would look like the Reviews Section, where EACH year has its own forum kind of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goazzz... Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 If you want my humble opinion....i prefer option No2, if you don't...piss off....I don't have any music of my own to promote anyway...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philter Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Of course, the dj mixes currently located in the Music Making section will be moved to the Promotional Area. 414890[/snapback] will the "artist news and lable anouncemets" section also be moved to the promotional area? or will that stay seperate, i mean that is promotion too, isnt it.... and while i am not a signerd artist, but certainly playing live, would i also post in this section to promote myself, like i saw a post by analog pussys booking agency for example...or even the booking community your part of? Let me add, that option 2 would NOT look like Musicmaking "Check out my Tracks". It would look like the Reviews Section, where EACH year has its own forum kind of. 415478[/snapback] if every year has its own promotional area will we all need a 126 inch monitor to read psynews? just a thought...it might all get a bit confusing...

moni Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 err, nemo, don't confuse the guy we will have 2 different sections: Artist News and Labels announcements For labels/artists: promote upcomming/new releases, artist interviews and other news here Promotional Area Post here your products: dj mixes, free tracks, radio stream shows, art work, links, etc. so first section will be for and about signed artists, labels. the second section will be for both signed and unsigned artists.

Question 1: yes Question 2: do you find the reviews confusing? 415633[/snapback] haha... i dont find the reviews confusing, but 5 years down the line, this forum will be really full, thats all i meant. soooooooo... i think you guys have some internal discussions ahead of you.....

moni Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 depends what type of promotion you are going for. i will try to explain this by using "music" as an example (that doesn't mean i am excluding other forms of art, it's just an example): - say you are an artist, who releases a new album. you want to promote your release by announcing it, by informing people about it and giving them link to your product, to test it and buy it. you're making it "official". for this you might as well go to the place specially created for labels and artists, Artist News and Labels announcements. i think this section is described pretty clearly: For labels/artists: promote upcomming/new releases, artist interviews and other news here - say you are an artist (music producer or a dj) and you want to promote your work by offering a product, a free product, a type of product that isn't compatible with the description "for labels/artists: announcements ...". this cathegory includes unsigned artists, signed artists offering a free track, or a dj mix, or maybe samples, and so on. for this type you will use the Promotional Area. also, we have a pinned thread in the General section, called Psynews FAQ. then there is also PM. people can ask anytime. and if some will post double threads, we'll be around to guide them. though i think we have explained pretty well the idea. but for further explanations, i'm here.
