I would say the best way to spend your time and money is to do ten things a day to get your music out there. Make ten phone calls a day. They might be nothing, or you might get lucky, but if you persist with the networking and getting your music out there, it does happen. It does happen. The fact is, if the music is good, it will rise to the top. It will make an appearance some place. Because there are people always looking for good music.
— Jonathan Firstenberg, summarizing the most important things about posting your music to a network.[2]
