here is a sample marketing letter

Hi friends,
I have new buttons to help my friends and fans connect their friends and fans with my music. If you go to (active link) http://www.cdbaby.com/valerio2 you will see on the left hand side buttons for facebook and twitter. If you would like to help me spread the word on my latest CD, "hot apple cider" please try these buttons out.

Right now I am working on my new CD. I have received suggestions to put the song Roar and Pirates and Deep End on the next record. If you have any suggestions for other songs please let me know. Much of my new music is posted at (active link) Http://www.youtube.com/user/jdvaleriomusic. The videos were taken with a flip camera so the sound quality is nowhere near a studio recording, but at least you can listen with headphones and get a good idea of what the newer songs are like.

My last record, Come Undone is available at Amazon: (active link) http://www.amazon.com/Come-Undone/dp/B001UIIAJE

I am in the marketing phase of my business plan. I promise not to bombard you with emails, but as a professional musician it is important to sell stuff. Believe it or not that is my least favorite part of my job, but it comes with the territory.

Lastly but not least, I am seeking a simple job at Starbucks, or a dinner or something like that in Sacramento to supplement my income while recording the next record. If you know somebody in the Sacramento area that is hiring please point me in their direction.

Currently, I am living in Las Vegas, but I am moving back to Sacramento tomorrow. So for those of you in Sac Town I can't wait to see you!

Love,
jd
