New PRO feature: Music Download Codes
Starting today, PRO plan member have a new option in the Album feature: Download codes. Download codes let you give away tracks for free, that you normally would charge for. You can print them as stickers and put them on t-shirts or physical CDs, so fans get a free digital album with their purchase. Or save the codes as a file, and print your own (dirt cheap!) download cards.
To redeem their download, fans visit YourSite.com/DL and enter the code. Since it is built-into your website, there is no distractions or ads to get in the way -- just instant access to your track.
But there's more. Download codes are also integrated with the mailing list, so you can send out email blasts with a built-in free track in just a few clicks.
And, unlike some other services, we are not putting a limit on the number of download codes you can create. So, go ahead and post them everywhere!

Online marketing tip - Signatures
Do you frequently send emails to fans, promoters, agents or venues? Why not include more information in your email signature. It's the part of your e-mail message that appears at the very bottom and it tells a story of who you are, what you do, and features whatever product or service that you are promoting. This gives you the opportunity to advertise your band with every email at no cost to you. Think about it this way - you are a 4 piece band who sends out, on average, 10 emails each per day. This translates to 200 free ads per week or about 10 000 anually. Detailed email signatures not only increase traffic to your website, but they also create brand recognition. An example of a detailed email signature is:
