Signs Week 2 Report September 16th- September 23rd
September 23rd, 2013 6 am
Ade,
We made a lot of progress on our second week of the campaign. We did some graphic work and no video slideshow production, but we did stick to our plan and schedule, posting heavily on your new Official Facebook page and Official Twitter profile, doing research on your 20 TuneCore links as requested and creating your new Radio Submit profile with Final versions of each of your songs (on No-Radio Download setting, per your request). We started beefing up your Biography and are working on getting direct links to your online shops prominent on your YouTube video pages.
This report is divided into the following categories:
Facebook Promotion

Radio Submit
We created a Radio Submit profile for Signs this week (with radio-download feature off, by request) so we can further promote the facebook, twitter and iTunes by eventually adding their flash player with videos and biography to large amounts of blogs and online articles.

YouTube Commercial Use Rights
As requested, we have been working on finding the solution to include a direct link to your Google Play, iTunes and AmazonMP3 with an album cover image on each of your YouTube videos, like the example you provided at: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=pROPMG471GQ&feature=c4- overview-vl&list= PLIJGzA7hLhaURpLlaDfgnMGvqnTQq BLru
We discussed that one of the requirements is to monetize each of your videos. We opted for monetization of Game Light at ... as a test to see if we could accomplish our goal.The next step will be to meet in person and draft a letter for YouTube which explains that Bill Morton Promotions has full permission and Commercial Use Rights from Signs in regards to all content uploaded to YouTube.

Biography Work
We conducted an audio interview which we recorded to be transcribed as additional information about each song and the artist biography.
Research of TuneCore links
We planned to research all of the links that TuneCore provided for Volume .1, to determine which profiles and online stores would be available to promote along with the big four (iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play and Spotify).
