Thanks Billy!

I've been a Taxi member for 10 years. I've been to three Road Rallies and had 100+ forwards and no deals, but I keep on plugging away. I don't know that I'll get any more out of it unless I write specifically to the listings, which I'm not willing to do at this point. I'll continue to pursue licensing opportunities, but you spoke specifically about expanding my fan base more efficiently. I'd love to hear how you did it. Even if you don't think it will suit my genre, I can write about it at Passive Promotion.

I'm not sure what you meant about the "bottom 3," but I'm quite happy with where I'm at. I only brought up my radio promotion experience to point out that traditional radio promotion (as opposed to pay-for-play internet radio like Jango or Last.fm) can be far more expensive, with nothing to show for it. I'm not looking for superstardom, if such a thing exists anymore. I just want to continue to grow my listenership, one fan at a time. I'm actually rather comfortable right now, with enough fans to ensure that my albums are paid for, but not so many that I can't develop meaningful relationships with them.
