First off I want to thank everyone for the warm response to my Twitter EP giveaway. My apologies for taking so long to get back to everyone, but I wanted to make sure you all had a chance to participate. The results were amazing… I’ll let my buddy Jon step in here to share some of the highlights…
With a giveaway such as this the whole point is to introduce JB to new friends… determining how effective we were can be challenging… but here are some numbers we watched and found really encouraging:
141 = # of new twitter followers
2085039 = # twitter users received the re-tweet (# heavily skewed by 1 users followers… guess who?)
9 = # who joined twitter just to tweet about JB’s EP giveaway
14 Times = # of times retweeted by 1 person (Thanks @YoungZMusic you get the MPRT Award! (most prolific re-tweeter))
60 = # of new people who joined JB’s email list
1130 = # of unique visitors to www.jbeckl.com
54 = # of countries visitors came from
The big picture is that, with your help, thousands of new people got exposed to my music. This is how it’s done these days – one to one, word of mouth, real people sharing real music with each other. So it means a lot to me… and as another thank you Read the rest…
***UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. YOU CAN FIND OUT THE RESULTS BY CLICKING HERE***
I’m thrilled to announce the official launch of Sparks, my acoustic EP. It’s taken a long time to get this far, and it feels great to finally share it with you today. I want to get Sparks into as many people’s hands as possible… but in order to spread the word, I need your help. To reward those who dig my music enough to share it with their friends, I’m giving them my new EP for FREE! All you have to do is log into Twitter and tweet the message you see below (or click the message to do it automatically):
I just listened to @JBEckl ‘s new EP and it is awesome! Time to share the love: Retweet this to win a copy! http://su.pr/2VMgz1

The first 50 tweets will receive:A physical CD of Sparks.

The next 50 tweets will receive:A Digital Download of Sparks
