The independent music community needs your help, and fan-sharing is a great way to spark growth and appreciation. We’re getting ready for our upcoming MailJam event in an attempt to get more of your music heard and purchased by bringing more fans to Broadjam! The process is simple: on July 26th, hit your email list to encourage as many fans, friends, family members, and fellow musicians as possible to visit Broadjam.com and your Artist Profile. Not only will you receive $.80 for each $.99 download, but the artist who sells the most downloads between July 26th and August 1st will be featured in a Broadjam newsletter and on the Broadjam homepage, and gets to choose between a $200 cash prize or a free one-year Primo MoB membership. It’s a win-win situation!
If you haven’t added any Top Artist, Song or Video picks to your profile page, now is a good time to do so. When your fans come to buy your music, you can recommend your favorite artists to them. We get a lot of feedback from this feature and find that it is very infectious.
Also, if you haven’t reviewed in a while, you may want to do so. If you review, and have your songs in the review mechanism, your songs are eligible for our Top 10 charts as well as our top-rated downloads section. And with MailJam taking place next week, I think it would be a great time to get in the review process.
In support of independent music, we’re going to sweeten the pie for this MailJam event. If you are the top selling artist and you have copied us (info@broadjam.com) on your mailing to your list, we will give you $500 in purchase credits for downloads on Broadjam. This means you’ll get 500 downloads of your choice and we’ll compensate the artists on your behalf.
The idea here is to get as many people buying independent music as we can. We believe that as a whole, the Broadjam community can assist each other and generate some traffic. So get your mailing list together and get ready for MailJam on July 26th!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this or on other ways we can work together to help promote independent music, as well as ways you personally promote your music. Please feel free to share them here.
Thanks for being a member.

Kareem,
Yeah, you’re right. We don’t have a million musicians (yet), but we do have about 60,000 who are passionate and do support each other. Everyday we count our lucky stars that Broadjam continues to thrive and our members like what we do.
I’m with you as I believe the business is broken, moves too slow and doesn’t take any chances. However, I haven’t met any individual in the business that I feel is dishonest or lacks integrity. I believe the record industry machine that has evolved over the past 100 years doesn’t allow good people to effectively change it. I could get on this soap box forever, but will save it for a later time.
Even if you don’t buy it on Broadjam, buy independent music and support indie artists.
Thanks for your kind words and comments.

I joined Broadjam because I wanted a more efficient way to submit my music to TAXI. Then I got a glimpse of the Broadjam vision. I don’t know if all the MOBs really understand the power of the Broadjam concept. Think about this: If we had 1 million musicians and artists putting up their best work on Broadjam and just BUYING each others’ music, one song a day, faithfully! Do you know know what would happen? Work with me People!!!! We don’t need a corrupt record industry telling us who’s hot and who’s not! Those days are forever over if we do this and STICK TO THE PLAN. Just BUY EACH OTHER’s music and DO IT FAITHFULLY!!!! This is what we all dreamed of! A chance, just a chance.
Roy, you guys are awesome!! Keep up the great work!!!!
