• A call to action ("Please let me know if this sounds like something that would fit in with [your publication].")

Make sure your music is ready for the public.

Making connections, developing a plan, and staying persistent are the keys to success.

• Make sure you have a good product.
• Develop a plan and stay persistent.
• Stay focused on your goal, and don't get distracted by other things that come along the way.

Creating a Public Relations (PR) plan for your music is important to get the word out about your songs.

How to create an effective PR plan:

• Start with identifying who your target audience is and what they want from their entertainment experience (e.g. if they're looking for something new and exciting). This will inform which outlets are most interested in covering what you have available today--and how much effort should go into reaching them via email blasts, direct mailings, or other methods?
  
  
• Next, determine what types of content might resonate most deeply with those same people based on past successes (e.g., interviews vs. reviews blogs), so there are no surprises when marketing begins later this year!
