Just a desperation rant really.

I sell quite a few microphones, via my own website and on ebay. Now I always explain what they are for - and long ago I realised that you have to tell typical ebay buyers that MUST have 48V phantom power means, well, you MUST have it - but still, even after the warnings people buy them.

In this era of the WWW how do you advertise?

I own a small but good studio. Had a guy call me from at&t yellowpages.com I think. He wanted me to give them about 1k for a year to put me at the top of the list in my town for recording on the site. Not one other studio in town or in any town near us does anything {advertising} through them at all except fot the basic freebee listing.

How do you get into this? I am in the process of creating 5 demo (non official) commercial tracks for my site to use as samples for people to hear my style but how would I get into these commercial agencies all together? Steps involved?

I am just wondering for those that are starting out in the music business. Is there a cheap or free effective way to advertise and get your company or name out?
