Hey yo, it's matt from Kurb.
been having some nightmares with the website recently. All sorted now but have taken a mad hit on google.
Living 3 pages down at the moment.
Ouch! This could test my mettle as a marketer for sure.

Gonna have the new concept for Kurb online promotion services rolling out soon.
Basically im on a mission now to provide everything for any musician anywhere in the world. Yup, even that job I wont touch - booking gigs!
Basically you're going to have access to a whole lot of top internet resources, info and tools looking at a price of about $50 p/month.
Then on top of that you're going to have access to a whole bunch of awesome secret cutting edge promotion services and expert assistance and implementation support at a level of $100 p/month
And at the final level of $200 which is what my clients have had to pay now, they're going to get priority access to all this new stuff, PLUS of course regular one on one strategy consultations with me personally, tweaking and developing.
Then in 2009 developing a total virtual management package priced about $400 p/month so we can offer comprehensive management services to anyone in the world. Yup, including bookings!!!
You'll be hearing much more detail soon, looking to go to beta in August!!!!
TWITTER
I must admit I was feeling as if Twitter was a bit dumb too.
But all my friends used to tell me 2005 that
"myspace is dumb"
"oh, I REFUSE to join myspace!"
They soon changed their minds.
It doesn't negate the fact that twitter is hot right now and if you remember my golden rule of social music promotion - that is, go where the people go - you'll be on twitter soon enough too.
From http://www.courtneytuttle.com
"All I see on twitter is an odd hybrid of a forum and a blog, except nothing meaningful is being said. And I mean nothing. So far as I can tell twitter is something the A List bloggers are promoting as a way to get their groupies to follow them around all day, begging for a shred of acknowledgment with some sort of “@joeshmoe” response to a….tweet (again, am I saying that right?).
Talk about a colossal waste of time. Be warned, there are those that are saying twitter is great for connectivity and getting information in real time."
Yup, web geeks LOVE twitter.
And it is all those big name bloggers crowing about twitter because it does have a bit of an indulgent side to it.
Sure you read my stuff because you want to learn about forwad looking music promotion.
You dont need to know that I might get a DVD out now I can watch while I pack these 120 christian personal development dvd sets I have to pack.
But I guess if you were my "IRL" (in real life) friend, I might love a suggestion!
Maybe next year it'll blow over. Or it'll just stay a geek thing.
But what if it doesn't?
As your online music promotion consultant I don't think that's a risk you want to take.
Just before I posted this blog I stopped by my Twitter account.
My call has always been that if you're a homebody like me and don't get out of the house much, spending days at a time online planted at the consul, nose to the grindstone, Twitter isn't going to bring your communication efficiency forward in leaps and bounds.
If you're a heavy touring artist or highly performance based or one of those highly mobile, highly networked individuals of which I know plenty, the access and simplicity that Twitter allows could be genuinely useful.
Even I'm attracted to the fact I can have my twitter app up on all my many myspaces, blogs, my facebook, crusty old profiles I never update manually and I cut down my update maintenance time from about half an hour to 5 minutes.
you can "follow" me as: MattNZ
As I just stopped by at my new account been getting into the swing, signed up to follow Dubber, Gerd, and Bob Baker.
But not Ariel because then she'll know I have a crush on her and I don't want things moving too fast. More on Ariel real soon.
Yup this "microblogging" thing could easily become a bit indulgent and unproductive.
But hey. Social networking is like that.
Already thinking about how to sp- "automate"
oh god and now I'm setting up so I can be a twit - I mean "tweet" - from my mobile . . .
here we go . . .
see you on twitter? forgive me!!!!
ps: twitter "does follow" so you get google juice from posting your urls

Tags for video, blogs, twitter and yeah . . .
Just wanted to say a word about tags.
As you may know I use several blogging platforms and I've also been doing videos this year.
Whenever you post a new blog or video it's fundamental to post associated tags!
Like for this post I'll tag it:
Tags, youtube promotion, blog promotion, online promotion, videos, twitter
And that should probably do, it's not like this is a killer post or anything but when you are posting essential "flagship" material and you want people to see it
You know I love to cut corners and optimize my promotional activity. But because I'm running so many blogs, I've really noticed the ones that are tagged properly are the ones that are bringing in random search traffic!
ALSO: Last night I went out with a friend and shot and edited a fun video for youtube and added some music. Did it in windows moviemaker. Took about 6 hours, all up.
I've only been learning to shoot and make videos this year.
I work 60+ hours a week. Blogging and posting videos should be part of your weekly routine.
This nonsense about needing $5k to do a video that takes months or weeks . . . thats just ridiculous now.
This is the new music industry. It is actually all within your power.
I should really join Twitter, it's so hot right now. Except I know what the principle is, it's like micro social networking and in a big way its foreshadowing the fact we'll all be surfing on our phones pretty soon.
Basically you're using txt message sized posts to update your network.
This is the thing. If your promotion style is very network focused, working in a team or bouncing off others and you're on the move a lot, this could - should - be a go for you.
Myself, I work from home and don't travel very much at all and my promotion style is very much more content focused.
To me I'm not sure I need to know what my colleagues are doing or thinking at multiple points in the day.
AND It's also getting to that point again where I need to watch the work load I'm taking on so it gets hard to respond to the more casual enquiries.
Cheers.
