If you mean the Maksalaatikko-feature (the box in the front page, where people can promote their songs against a small fee), is it really so that youre not able to use SMS-messages?

Or what did you mean by 'making promotion'?

I think allowing credit cards would mean expensive deals with the credit card companies. Which would be bad for Mikseri.net.

If you absolutely have to advertise your projects in the "Maksalaatikko", you can always pay someone else with an access to a mobile phone to put up your advertisement.

Because I live in the gothenburg SMS option is no option for me.

But hey, I really now got several hints from U fellows how to promote the music without msn function.

Great thanx for U all!

Why Mikseri Why ?

Why cannot i just simply make promotion for my songs using credit card such as mastercard or visa ???


Well, firstly, it costs quite a bit per month to have a creditcard payment service available. (Those Visa bastards rip us off)

Secondly, we haven't got time to think about this option. Maybe we should.

However, for time being, I hope you find a way to promote your tunes without credit card and within the rules.

By the way, it's not only people outside Finland who can't pay with phone. For example I've got company's phone and I can't use commercial numbers (or what ever you call them). Of course I could get a second sim-card, but I'm too lazy...

Try to find some other hobby. That script isn't working at all.

Little more editing for the sake of IE users.

I think the free promotion is the best way here. You can

1. Write a lot on the forums(which is bit difficult for English-speakers)
2. Listen to and comment other artists' pieces(This will eventually lead to returned feedback, I hear)
3. Promote your pieces in the demot-section, which is solely meant for that.
4. Just wait for someone to stumble upon your songs(this is also possible thanks to the ability to search for music)


I agree, this is the best way. Especially point number 2). Personally I tend to check out every single artist who happens to comment my songs. Even more frequently than just those who post adds with instant messages.

..and it doesn't work.. you may get some listeners because they are intrested like "hmm.. who's that guy who's online 24/7.." but mostly they just listen but won't say anything..
2. Listen to and comment other artists' pieces(This will eventually lead to returned feedback, I hear)

That REALLY works.. I call it threating comments or something like that.. U give me comment, I give comment to track you advertise to me after commenting my track.. easy and fair.
3. Promote your pieces in the demot-section, which is solely meant for that.

I have promoted few times in demo -section and haven't get anything..
4. Just wait for someone to stumble upon your songs(this is also possible thanks to the ability to search for music)

Hmm.. I get mostly comments from users who like my music or users I have advertised with private messages.

I think private messages are pretty effective way to get comments, if u notice who have "ei mainoksia" banner and who doesn't..I doesn't.. (so advertise to me, Iusually listen and give some comment too, because I like commenting tracks and listening new music..)

Why should anyone limit their advertising solely to mikseri.net?
Do it in other forums you use, and to your friends, and whatever.
There are many other forums about demos and stuff, sign in, chat a little and the you post "By the way check out my awesome band at www.mikser....".

Yeah maybe so, but here folks try to figure out how to get more comments to their music.
I think it warms artists more to get written feedback, than just to know that somebody listened their music.

And to participate on other forums doesn't quarantee comments, because only few outside Finland registrate themselves into Mikseri.net
But yeah, you're right, the "word" about site-Mikseri goes out much better if we mingle with other people outside Mikseri too!

Getting comments on your songs is free, thanks to the new comment-ring system. So that shouldn't be a problem. Climbing the charts though is very hard without a way to advertise your song. (though nobody is really shure how the charts are formed..)

I think I'll refer to the good old Beatles here: "Can't buy me love!". But of course you can buy me a lot of maksalaatikko.
