tips on hosting a mixtape and get it promoted

Yeh I was wondering if anyone has any good promotional and hosting tips for a mixtape...like anything that I shoukd or shouldn't say drop wuse and how is a good way to promote it

ONE OF THE BIGGEST IS MYSPACE

and then yo hood

down here, what lots of dudes do is go to the local moms and pops gas stations and pay them to sell it on the counter

and others go to locally owned record stores and put the mixtapes there.

as far as hosting goes the bigger the person is the more popular it will make your mixtape. Some Djs host mixtapes for unsigned artist for a fee. If you want one of your friends or yourself to host the mixtape aint no point in a host for it because its your shit anywayz but a host is normally tha narrator of the mixtape kind of like when Dave Chapell hosted that G-unit mixtape

As for the promotional part of it its a million ways to promote a mixtape...you can put it on datpiff.com

you can upload it just about anyware online and spread out the links you can burn a bunch of them and hand them out around ya hood u can get flyers made and make em rain in tha club lol you can go to a club and put one in tha hands of everyone that leaves and comes in that got me a lot of sucess with my last tape....your options are limitless it depends on the effort you want to give it

Iight thanks good lookz to all yall

drop a song to get people ready for da mixtape make it madd HOTT!!

You need to have somebody thats name carries weight. In todays game, realistically you aren't going to get much gwop. You also need to make sure you link up with the distro peoples in the market your pushing. If you are an artist, invest in yourself and get a big dj to host the tape. Then I would pay a producer that either has allot of buzz in the mixtape game or a bigger producer to push the track to bring buzz and promo around your project.

Check and goto their forums. There are allot of big dj's that are on that board daily but make sure you take time to get to know people before you start trying to get people to host.
