"Your music's very marketable. Hit me up and I'll give you 50% of marketing services."

Like, seriously? Nowadays, everyone has a music promotion service. But, my thinking is, if you really like my music and think it's marketable, you'll sign some contracts where you promote my music and any connections that develop, you get a cut.

It's like they always say, if someone is asking you to pay money to manage or promote you, your setting yourself up for disappointment.

I mean, think about it: If you have a truly ingenious idea or product, an investor is not going to tell you to pay him money first before he invests. He more than likely will say he's going to need a large chunk of the business. If you have to pay him first, why not use the money you're going to give him to invest in your business?

It's very similar to these scams where folks are telling people that they have to pay money before they get their lottery winnings.

Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.
