Great collection of information and excellent job on syncing social media with Nimbit. Thanks for sharing.
PS… I just signed up for my Nimbit account.
Welcome to the Nimbit family illBeatz, thanks for the kind words.
This is a good article, and I have had to deal with the hassle of promoting my old band. I wanted to make it easier for others, so I just put together a free website to help bands promote.

This doesn’t replace word of mouth, or playing shows, but it may help you get some extra fans who are looking for new bands. I invite you all to check it out.
It is a new site, so if there are any features missing/broken etc. feel free to let me know. Thanks.
