What is Beat Wire, and who is it for?
Beat Wire is an affordable press release distribution service for independent musicians and record labels, promoters, booking agents, managers, club owners and publicists.
Your news is delivered directly to the desktops of over 10 000 music editors at daily newspapers, magazines, news agencies, top Web sites, radio stations, and other outlets.
What is a press release, and why do I need one?
A press release is by far the most helpful and cost-effective promotional tool a music promoter can use. A highly targeted press release campaign can get you more publicity than thousands of advertising dollars ever will.
Whether it's a new CD, upcoming tour, charity concert, Web site update or any other music-associated event you want to announce, there is hardly anything more rewarding or beneficial than sending out a press release.
How does Beat Wire work?
Getting your press release on the desktops of thousands of music editors is a snap with Beat Wire. Just send us your press release and place a secure order.
Within 12 hours, our representative will contact you to verify your press release details. That's it. You're all set, and your press release will hit the mailboxes of thousands and thousands of highly targeted music journalists and radio folks.

Who is going to receive my press release?
At your direction, we will deliver your press release to thousands and thousands of popular music critics and editors at every daily newspaper in the United States with a circulation of more than 10,000 readers, major magazines, Web sites, entertainment reporters at major news service syndicates like Reuters, Associated Press and others, freelance journalists and reviewers, and radio programmers.
What results can I expect?
The effect of your press release depends largely on its contents and whether the editors that receive it believe your news will interest their readers and listeners.
Our clients--independent musicians like you--have had their music featured in major media outlets like Yahoo.com, LA Times, Washington Post, CNN, Chicago Tribune, Entertainment Weekly, ABCNews.com, USA Today and The New York Times, to name just a few.
For better results and higher response rate, you can have our in-house publicists craft a professional press release that is more likely to attract the attention of music editors and radio programmers than one you write yourself. Click here to read more.

How soon does my press release go out?
We e-mail press releases on workdays at 9AM Eastern Time, only one release a day. In order to get your press release more attention, we do not send any other press releases on that day. All requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
What makes your service different from your competitors?
Beat Wire is the only press release distribution that has been created specifically for music-related press releases. Our media list is highly targeted. We will send your press release directly to people who make the final decision as to what gets published in the music column of a daily newspaper or feature section of a major music magazine.
Unlike most press release distribution services, we don't limit the number of words. That means your press release can be as long as you want.
While other press release distribution services charge between $300 and $500 for sending out a release, Beat Wire will distribute your press release at a price any independent musician or record label can afford.
Is it safe to use my credit card on your web site?
