I talk with Steve Pasek of www.chainsawdupont.com who had heard a previous show where someone recommended sonicbids.com and Steve emailed me and said I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE SERVICE. So I called email and let Steve share his experieinces with sites liek sonicbids.com and taxi, and broadjam and more. How about you? have you had good experiences with these services?

Personally I think SonicBids is an okay site…if you have some money to burn. Really the chances of you getting publicity off of it are slim although the interface is easy to use and helps you create a good EPK. Personally I like the old school method of making Press Kits and if I have to do an EPK I like to make one that will fit in an email….kind of like a one sheet which just briefly highlights what is important. People using the internet have a short attention span and don’t want to read your entire press kit from their computer…if your one sheet sparks their interest they’ll ask for more at which point I recommend getting a mailing address so you can mail them a physical press kit!
