Disc Makers artists get a free trial of Radio Airplay’s promotion service, where your songs will play to 100 people at no cost to you.
If you decide Radio Airplay works for you, you have access to millions of music fans.

Jango Airplay is a powerful promotional tool for DIY artists; here’s why:

1. Exposure (the smart kind)
Radio Airplay plays your music to a very large and real audience – their online radio stations have 8 Million listeners – and you decide who hears your music. If your music is similar to Eminem, you get played to people who like Eminem. If you think your music does better with fans of Lady Antebellum, you direct your campaign to their fans. You can also target your promotion to specific states or countries. In a nutshell, you get exposure to the people who are most likely to become your fans.

2. Get New Fans
When your songs are playing on Radio Airplay, the listener is encouraged to interact, which is a great way to make new fans. You build real connections with people that you can communicate with. You can inform them about an upcoming gig, or a new album you just dropped. Or, add your new fans to your existing mailing lists.

3. Reports and Insights
Radio Airplay gives you detailed, daily reports on the things you care about: plays, likes, fans, and more. These reports are not just data; they answer questions like "which song is most likely to be a hit?" or "does my music generate better response in California or New York?"

Radio Airplay is cost effective (prices start at $10), and takes minutes to set up. To learn more or to get started, click here for your FREE trial.

Disc Makers artists should be aware of our new partnership with Dympol.  Created by pioneering Punk/Alternative drummer Jay B. Ziskrout (Bad Religion, Electric Peace), Dympol's Charitable Checkout is a FREE cause marketing service that lets you partner with your fans to raise money for the causes you support.

When fans give to one of your favored charities, they can get a digital gift from you (e.g., track download, digital poster, etc.) and a matching coupon from a Dympol sponsor that you select. Plus, the app thanks them (on your behalf) on their Facebook wall.

This cause-marketing program gets your music heard; your good works recognized; and generates tons of positive social media exposure.  Through the Dympol interface, you can create your own personalized Charitable Checkout widget for your Facebook Fan Page and other websites you control.
