Breaking the Rules of Awesome Music Promotion Newsletters

Have you seen David Jackson's Cybercooler Marketing Musician newsletter? I've been subscribed for a few months now. So I figured it's time I reviewed it.

I'm extremely finicky about my music promotion newsletters. I don't have a lot of time, so I prefer easy-reads.

Sadly, the Cybercooler is NOT an easy-read. It's taken me a few months to finally get used to its formatting. But I'll tell ye now, the Cybercooler WILL BE on my Top 10 List of music promotion newsletters for 2004.

You see, the formatting may be pretty poor, but you get used to it. Once you have, it's easy to zip down to a host of great music promotion tips.

Admittedly, the quick music promo tips are only a small part of the overall newsletter. The best thing about website is that it's built around a community of musicians. David Jackson is the moderator that guides you through the latest music promo ideas and services online. He reviews them and tells ye what's good and what isn't. And it's a community effort. Musicians helping musicians.

Consequently, the Cybercooler does not regurgitate ideas from the latest, greatest music marketers. Instead, he shares the success and failures of bands who are out on the streets. For me, that's one of the best ways for unsigned bands to truly learn what works and what doesn't.

That's why I want to commend David Jackson on an outstanding newsletter and website for the working musician.
