musicbrick.com went live on the 15th November 2007 and although it was exciting to finally see the hours of graft in all their glory, I’ve realised how true the advice from the web designer rings true.
‘I really like the idea, but are you sure you want to go through with this? Was the first thing he said once he’d put together the costings.
And the second… ‘You realise you’re going to need double what the website cost for marketing or take at least 6 months off work and publicise it like it was your job; 10 hours a day’.
Sound advice me thinks!!
Two problems though! I have a marketing budget of about £200.00… one sec! Jingle, Jingle… make that £200.77 pence and I can’t stop work because… I can’t stop work.
Now I’m in the process of trying to let as many people know that I think there’s an incredible website out there called music brick .com.
So after three days in, I’m having some T shirts printed, 5 to be exact, and I’m chatting with the guy in the shop. He tells me that he’s loved rap and hip hop all his life, so I say… ‘If you like the idea, put something on there..’
Sugarhill Gang, Rappers Delight… he did it!! Laugh? I nearly bought a round.
I can’t say how good it felt… but I was delirious!! Thanks andy cee
