hi I'm Georgie from water bear I have worked in radio in various roles and I've also worked as a plugger so I kind of know both sides of the picture when it comes to all things radio so this is my latest video on the playlist over on the water bear YouTube on how to get on the radio last time we had a little chat about making press releases for your band or for you as an artist so these are my top five tips on how you can successfully send out your press release so you already know how to make press release because you have watched the previous video all about it and if you haven't don't worry the link to watch it is in the description so tip number one is before you do anything have a think about who you want to send it to have a think who is relevant to your music what shows what stations what presenters might be into it I know that like on a station I worked at we basically pay played just of pop commercial type songs we used to get like heavy metal thing sent to us obviously we will never play it it's a waste of your time and it's a waste of ours tip number two then is collect all of your data make a spreadsheet if you like I enjoy a spreadsheet it helps you out because in there you can put the presenter they produce the name of station the email address and you can put whether you follow them up or not and you can just keep an eye on how your whole campaign is going and here's a real quick tip for you and that is to go along to media info okay just type it in and in there is a whole database of email addresses for people that work in radio and if they don't have their email address they'll tell you the structure that that station takes in terms of you know first name dot last name at Joseph M com tip number three is to personalize your email okay so if you know the name of the person that you're sending it to put their name in if you know the station that they work at the show that they work on throw that in there as well because having that personalization means you care you've taken the time out of your day to really find out about them and then you know that you're targeting the right person as well there's nothing worse on the flip side then if you put someone's name and incorrectly spell it for example when I was a music coordinator to receive an email from a band or an artist or a plugger addressing it to Georgia probably didn't open it or look at it for very long I won't lie to you so that takes me back up to...
