Jango Emails - What Works

2011-05-10T10:53:00.007-04:00

And it might even generate 1000 fans if it's done well.It used to be that a picture of an artist was your first and maybe only clue as to what their music would sound like once you got that record home and onto the turntable.

Is Your Targeting On Target?

2011-04-26T16:54:00.005-04:00

One of the most common questions we get here at Airplay HQ is...'How do I get more fans?' The answer to that question, more often than not, can be found in the 'Targeting' tab in your Jango Airplay artist dashboard but it's not always staring you in the face.It's obvious to most that if you're a heavy metal act then targeting fans of ABBA isn't going to do you any favors.

2011-04-19T13:39:00.004-04:00

I recently came across an article about a South African artist, DJ Mujava, who, frustrated with the fact that South African radio was only playing international artists decided to take things into his own hands. He burned CDs and distributed them to as many taxi and mini van drivers as he could so they would play his music which would then be heard by the passengers. After a couple weeks the
