Regular readers know that we like Sonicbids, that we like The Deli magazine, and that we favor creative schemes to get publicity for your band.
We do not, however, like this.
As you can see in the above picture, The Deli magazine is accepting submissions for its End of Year poll. For the first few days, these submissions were free. Today, they cost $5 through Sonicbids.
Some experts caution against investing too much time and money in Sonicbids, and this is a perfect example of why.
If you've done something that's likely to attract the attention of people who cover music in a particular market, you don't need to spend that five dollars.
If you've been contacting The Deli's editors all year about the great things your band is doing, you shouldn't have to spend that five dollars.
If you think that it'll make a huge difference in your career to put yourself onto a poll with artists whose hard work earned them an automatic inclusion, then we'd like a word with you.
But first, maybe you should give us five dollars.
