  • Beware of fake promotions from mljpromotion

    Beware of fake promotion companies who steal content like mljpromotions

    .. ..

    Hello my name is Mike Warden I run CTWpromotions.com I would like to make you aware of a situation which has been brought to my attention which I think you should know about.

    .. ..

    As a business I've taken my work helping artists very seriously for years using all my experience marketing bands with my label throughout the 1990s. I am very proud of the accomplishments I have made and the resume which is posted on my website for potential clients to check out.

    .. ..

    I was extremely disturbed last week when it was pointed out to me a company named mlj promotions was using the exact text that I use to comment on artists pages on Myspace. I thought that was strange but that was absolutely nothing compared to when I went to the website and saw exact replications stolen off my website describing the experience they have working with bands. It was word for word when I say it was stolen it was straight copied stolen at least 75% of their website is directly from my website.

    .. ..

    So your name is listed on their website as have being worked with you and I feel bad because you were under the impression that you were getting consulting and marketing work from me. When you just getting a bunch of fake views and plays and certainly nothing like the quality that you thought you were going to receive because if you hired them because of how they represented themselves you were really trying to hire my company. To put it bluntly you were trying to hire me.

    .. ..

    The audacity of these people to outright steal a testimonial from a leading management company in the music business and change the name to their company as use that as their main testimonial --- it's just insane I was absolutely speechless.

    .. ..

    CTWPromotions is by far the most trustworthy agency for getting the word out on Social Networks.  They clearly deliver positive results with their campaigns because they have industry experience, which is usually missing from competitors.  We will continue to recommend CTWPromotions to anyone looking to increase their online visibility.

    ..Ping.. Pong Music & Consulting
    So I want you to do me a favor and visit ctwpromotions.com and tell me if  the information presented on my website sounds familiar?  As of last week 75% of it was on the Mljpromotions website. I seriously feel that you were cheated and if you would like to come on board as a client here I will give you a week free with the 5k plan or multiple weeks free for bigger plans.
    Thanks for reading.

    -------------------

     

    CTW is not a views-and-plays whore company: Anyone who really cares about the safety of their profile should never contract such a company. To be perfectly blunt, those companies are trying to scam you out of your money. From my experience, CTW is one of the only legitimate MySpace promotion companies out there. There are many with fancy-looking Flash pages that are willing to trick you with fake testimonials and no music business history and credentials. Don't ever say we didn't try to warn you: Those companies will rip you off for hundreds of dollars before you realize it's a scam.

     

    On our website, you'll find links which outline how these scams work. Our articles include information on common scam tactics, which you can easily recognize and avoid, as well as a large list of known scam companies to watch out for. A little research will save you time and money.

     

    You can get legitimate, high-powered, effective promotion for little as $125 a week to compliment other campaigns such as booking, touring, radio advertising, press releases, and more.

     

    When do you need MySpace music promotion with CTW?

     

    www.conquertheworld.com/ctwpromotions.htm

         

    (CTWpromotions Hq)

     

    Think of your entire promotional plan as a pyramid. Promotion on your MySpace music profile is the bottom of the base. To climb further up the pyramid, you need a strong foundation to build your music career on. Like other paid promotional campaigns to increase your notoriety, you need a MySpace profile manager, agent, and promoter. You need someone who knows how to build that base of your pyramid.

     

    That's where Conquer The World comes in.

     

    You might have a manager, a booking agent, a radio promotion company, or maybe a PR manager who handles your press. Maybe you are doing several of these operations yourself. In any case, you need to have your MySpace house in order to maximize the result of those other campaigns.

     

    If you are doing anything where someone gets in front your MySpace page before they make a decision about advancing your music career, be it a small one or big one, and you haven't been actively improving your overall profile activity, you are wasting your time even making that call or sending that email.

     

    Engage Conquer The World to professionally manage your MySpace profile and fanbase:

     

    * Before you book a show or set up a tour anywhere.

    * Before you send review copies out.

    * Before you do a mass emailing.

    * Before you send a DJ a CD or any other radio work.

    * Before you have anyone scout you for management, label representation, or sponsorship in any shape or form.

     

    If your MySpace page is not standing on a firm promotional base, you are not maximizing the potential of your phone calls or the emails and press kits you are sending out. If your base is not strong, you may not land the show, the deal, the review, the meeting…

     

    You might even have wasted that time altogether. The principles I have outlined above are the standard in today's new internet-based music business environment.

     

    Please take the time to review the CTW newsletter available in the blog or bulletins, do Google research (as advised on the CTW Promotions MySpace page), and there are a multitude of testimonials available for you to read.

     

    If you need a MySpace agent and promoter, hopefully CTW has demonstrated everything you are looking for to further your career. If you want to start getting on the MySpace charts and make yourself look more marketable, then go no further than CTW.

     

    Thanks for your continued support and business.

    SOME ACTUAL TESTIMONIALS FROM REAL CLIENTS BELOW...

     

    Now days the music industry is very open and free, with signed and unsigned bands using the Internet. It has also made it a lot more competitive. With websites such as Myspace, unsigned bands have the same playing field as anyone else. So to get your business up and running , for record labels, band bookers, radio stations and most importantly the general public to take notice. I recommend CTW promotions . As promoting your own band takes hours out of your day, CTW will take those hours for you and give you amazing results with very fast efficiency. In one week our friends had grown five time more . Comments were being sent with positive feedback, and band managers, radio stations and promoters were sending us messages. If you fail to prepare then be prepared to fail. So don't hesitate to catch your dreams jump on board CTW promotions.

    I was in serious need of somebody professional to promote my MySpace page for me.  I had been ripped off by people in the past, who would only do half the job they were payed to do.  I hired Conquer The World to promote my page, and I am really glad I did.  Mike came through, and did everything he was hired to do.  My music reached many people across the world, and the feedback and opportunities that came my way were amazing.  I would definitely recommend CTW if you want somebody professional and trustworthy to promote your page.

    CTW does exactly what they say.  I am very impressed with the amount 

    of plays and friends I have accumulated in just the first week.  I 

    have signed up again for another week and will continue working with 

    CTW for my MySpace promotion.  CTW is legit and is perfect for the 

    unsigned band looking for good promotion.  Thanks Mike!

    We've used CTW before but their service never ceases to amaze me. We've all seen the automated friend and play software services which proliferate on the net but what do they really do apart from make your page look slightly more popular? CTW's targeted campaign generates genuine feedback and networking opportunities in super quick time.

    Our last campaign resulted in numerous gig offers, radio play and media coverage. I can't recommend CTW highly enough.

     

    Ken Sonic Vista Recordings – UK Indie Record Label Owner

     

     

    "I can't recommend CTW enough.  In just a singular one week campaign we nearly doubled everything that had previously taken a year to acquire on our MySpace page.  We got targeted real friends and fans that we wouldn't have had access too before being an unsigned, underground band.  I can honestly say it's some of the best money we've ever spent."

     

    Bobby Manila GEEK LOVE – Alternative Rock  Melbourne, Australia

     

     

    Mike and CTW helped us to support our label platform really well. We explained what we needed and how to grow our friend and fanbase as in what kind of people we needed and the type of traffic to get. It's important that we don't have 1,000 friends which are not interested in what we do so we did a targeted campaign and CTW did just that. There is no need to worry about your promotions needs CTW has you covered and my support. We have a good amount of traffic on our page and that is exactly what we needed. Thanks a lot.

     

    Max H - Get Digital Records – Electronic – Austria

     

     

    CTW are one of the few publicists in the world that more than pay for themselves through the extra CD/merchandise sales you get from their campaigns. Mike is extremely professional and gets the results he promises. I strongly suggest up and coming bands to try CTW out, you will not be disappointed.  i already have 2 more bands who will be definitely be purchasing your campaigns in the near future, will start spreading the word more too.

    Hey Mike,

    I just wanted to let you know you're doing a great job man. I know its probably tough as I had neglected MySpace for over a year until recently, but you're a serious promoter. Lovin' it. Thanks for the great work you've done so far!

    Cheers,

     

    Bobby Long- Acoustic Indie US

     

     

    Mike, you did a great job, thank you. That might have been the best $125 we ever spent on our band! We are having a band rehearsal/meeting on tuesday and we need to find a way to use your services. You will hear from us, again.

    CTW really helped get my new MySpace page off the ground, so I could quickly and efficiently reach my target market. In one week, CTW did what would have taken me many weeks. CTW is honest and professional, and I would definitely work with them again!"

     

    (Marcie for MySpace.com/behindthelyric) – Trance Electronic USA

     

     

    Mike, Its been a pleasure working with you. I have worked with promotion professionals in radio and print media but this is the first time that I've ever walked away from a campaign satisfied. What I love about your targeted campaign is that is that its not like hiring somebody in an office somewhere to annoy other strangers on your behalf(most forms of promotion), CTW is more like having a friend spreading the word about what you do. Normally, I never would have given something like this a chance. My love of liberty and my natural curiosity led me to try your service during your Ron Paul donation special. I was surprised and elated that I had just stumbled into what is the most immediately effective tool in the music business. Mike- you're a class act and you can bet that I'll be back again,

     

    Lance Whalen – Singer Songwriter USA

     

     

    Mike, Wow, my friends went from 400 to over 4000 in 3 weeks! The amazing thing is that they were targeted hits rather than just random. I picked a fairly odd combination of celtic music in Wisconsin. I Can't believe how much it boosted my attendance at a local level yet set me up for reaching out to bigger markets.

    Mike delivers on his promise and so much more.

     

    Derek Byrne – Celtic Traditional Folk – Wisconsin USA

     

     

    WOW!  Thanks Mike!  You did a great job!  I will definitely be using you again.  I would love to catch up with last weeks requests first.  I heard from a couple of radio stations so that's great!

    thanks again,

  • The Lowdown On Views and Plays Sites. (scams)

    Current mood:rebellious


    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 response to your new 45 googillion plays they will know you're a phony.  

    .. ..
