How You can get the most from your Membership!

Please stop by and speak your mind! LOL

All areas of this site can be reached from the Site Map on the Navigation Bar directly below the graphic at the top of the page.
The latest topics and resources are listed in the box below.

Getting around the site:

Use the Navigation Links at the top of the page, directly under the header graphic. For more information on each of these, check out the detailed explanation on the *Fast Start Guide*.

The MusicPromotionExplosion.com Forum

The MusicPromotionExplosion.com Forum is a discussion forum here at MusicPromotionExplosion.com and is available ONLY to Registered Members!

As many of you may know, the Forum format is an ever-expanding and ever-evolving one. I have started us out with a few topics and will be adding more as requests are made and as discussions happen!

NOTE; When you first enter the Forum, you will need to register for it separately from your Membership. The Forum is FREE and available ONLY to Members of MusicPromotionExplosion.com.

You will be asked to choose a User Name and Password. Be sure and write them down and keep them in a safe place, along with your User name and Password for this area! ;-)

How to post an Introduction in the Forum:

You will need to sign up for the Forum and choose a User ID and Password for it. (Sorry about that but it is different software embedded in the Membership site so they work together but are not interconnected!)

Get to the Forum by clicking on the link in the top horizontal Navigation bar, directly under the Header graphic....

In the upper left corner, it will say *Welcome Guest* and give you the option to Login or Register. Register and then login.

Once you are logged in, go to the first Category, *Site Announcements*. The current second topic is *New Member Introduction* Click on the topic title and it will take you to the topic. At the moment, there are no messages. To the right there are four options: *Mark As Read*, *Notify*, *New Topic*, and *New Poll*.

Click on *New Topic*

You will see a new page with a Subject line and a Message box lower down (under all of the smiley icons). Just type in your message there.... don't forget to give it a Subject. ;-)

Under the message box you can either *Post* it or *Preview* it. If you *Preview* it, you can make corrections and then *Post* when you are happy with it. If you *Post* and then see a typo or whatever, you can open the Message and in the upper right there are three options: *Quote*, *Modify*, *Delete*. Use *Modify* if you want/need to edit you message.

Topics currently include:

Introductions

The MusicPromotionExplosion Reviews Blog - The purpose of this blog is to share with the world the incredible music of our members! Each week a number of reviews will be written that will catapult the promotion of your music throughout the internet!

The Navigation Bar in the RIGHT column

This currently has detailed links for the newest Topics of the site. As the site grows, it will probably become just links to the different sub headings, such as Internet Issues, Resources, Services

As was mentioned at the TOP of the page, the Site Map has links to EVERYTHING on the site! ;-)

How YOU can get the most from your Membership

I have been spending a LOT of time trying to figure out the best way to help all of you use the resources of this membership site and to guide you into taking action...

We sometimes let ourselves feel a sense of 'doing something' because we "bought the book", signed up for the class, or joined the membership site *smile*.

There are a couple of things that get glossed over or over-looked completely all too often though when people talk about 'taking action'.

One thing is people think it takes massive action.

Hey, it helps, but all those old sayings about taking things step by step can't be all wrong.

What it does take is CONSISTENT ACTION.

It was the challenge of *taking action* that I was puzzling over... and as I did so, I realized some very significant things. ;-)

One of the greatest challenges that keeps most people from reaching success is their inability/reluctance/failure to *Take Action*

I decided that what I actually need to do is to provide a framework which will enable you to efficiently utilize the resources (and the future resources) that are provided here.

At this point, the actions to be taken fall under three major topics:
(and yes, there will be some overlap between topics! *smile)

ONLINE PROMOTION TIPS & TRICKS

MYSPACE OPTIMIZATIONS

EMERGING SOCIAL NETWORKING MARKETS

It may be that as we advance, it will make sense to add to this list, but for right now, three is more than enough!

Each of the four topics listed above has its own Discussion Board. As things progress, we will add topics as necessary.

There will certainly be some overlap between the topics, and that can be dealt with within each Discussion Board.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT -

Choose one of the four topics and post an introductory message to the appropriate discussion board. Please give some thought to describing where you think you are in relation to the issue you have chosen, what your short term and long term goals are and what you need to accomplish them. If you don't know what your goals are, please feel free to say so and we'll start exploring the options!

So.... please look over the list and make a commitment. If you have questions or need clarification, please post to the forum. If you need more information, it is more than likely someone else will also!
Once you have decided, please make your confirmation post and we'll get started... taking it one step at a time and *Sharing the Road to Success!*

Johnny

As we gear up, I hope that you will make it a point to check in regularly.

Also, consider spending time in the Forum. It provides a great way for us to interact and get to know each other.

Sharing the Road to Success!
