You know those views and plays sites that claim to be “promoters” they claim to have lots of experience “rocketing you up the charts to get you signed”?

Well the cat is out of the bag now.

Those sites are outright scamming people and they know it. See when you have so many people doing the same thing and borrowing each others text copy you know it’s a scam. I’ve even had people steal outright text copy from my newsletters and websites and represent that as their own. People! Those sites even the nice looking ones are not legitimate. It’s just a quick scam. I have been trying to tell people this for months… I have written several articles about it and put sections in the CTW newsletter. Those sites are simply taking advantage of you, while a genuine promoter will figure out how to generate legitimate targeted visitors and networking partners to your profile.

They don’t have experience in the music business or marketing. OTHERWISE they would tell you the most effective Myspace work you can do is to build a targeted fanbase that’s the simplest thing I could tell anyone without getting into specific methods or secrets.

They create false testimonials and create text copy to convince you it’s real by saying things like “through our promotional network”. Fact is they are doing nothing but using a simple internet traffic routine. WHY is it you think someone who hasn’t worked within the music business or who doesn’t have a genuine background with internet / direct marketing experience can get you authentic results? If it’s too good to be true it usually is right? Trust me it is.

I’m trying to save you a ton of money and hassle to begin with.

These sites could care less about the safety of you’re profile otherwise they wouldn’t remotely ever tell you they can give you 20,000 plays. What they do is give you a free “sample” then get into your wallet. By the time you realize it’s a scam you are out of a few hundred dollars at the least if you’re lucky. If you got the worst of it you’ve been scheduled for deletion by Myspace. Trust me they will get to it eventually and you will be deleted for it. I have had several serious musicians come to me after a harrowing experience as I have described who had used those “promoters” and then got their precious Myspace accounts deleted.

Any site which claims they can deliver any specific number of views and plays is using a simple perl script which is widely available whether they claim to deliver separate views, and or plays or all together as some of them claim. Any site which considers random friends to be genuine promotions may not be considered a scam but it certainly is not effective although it can be fun. This is common sense it doesn’t take a marketing background to tell you this but if you are a band or a business you certainly wouldn’t want traffic or friends on your page that have zero interest in what you are doing even if you had 25,000 of them.

Lastly, anyone with half a brain whether they are someone who you may do business with you or a visiting listener if you don’t have a comparable profile and equally general visible response to your new 45 googillion plays they will know you’re a fake.

Hit me up if you want legitimate professional promotion.

Mubito is different to the other solutions you mention, because we provide tools to build and manage your entire official website. Not just a shop.

Finally, we’re support artists and labels earning revenue from the web traffic they attract - implementing ad campaigns and sponsorships into sites (in attractive ways).

The new D2C opportunities require parters with marketing and new media experience - it’s not just a matter of uploading your music somewhere.
