If only folks were willing to put the time and work into their careers and learn some truths about their work before they were willing to write a check in hopes of a mythical short cut to success. We've been preaching this ad naseum but there will always been snakes and sharks preying on those who think they can afford to buy success in the music business. Most of the scam promo companies supply bogus charting info and to someone with money to burn it may give them bragging rights to their equally ignorant friends who are impressed. Success in the music business to me is to either make enough money directly from your music to do it full time OR to simply have the free time in your life and the talent to make the music in your head and please yourself. Those two things are success. Hard work and talent can provide at least one of those two, if not both. Huge famous stars are a combination of mostly things that have less to do with you and more to do with other people's hard work, power, influence and luck.
You can't buy your dream unless your dream is a big lie to start with.
