HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN INDIE-ARTIST PRESS RELEASE

Creating a press release can be one of the best ways for an indie artist, or band, to gain some instant media exposure for themselves. And you know, as well as I, that exposure is the name of the game these days. Even though the world-wide web has opened up many new possibilites for the independent artist, the competition can be fearsome. So, if you have any news item worthy of print (i.e. a new CD for sale, or a concert coming up, etc.) then a press release might be just the ticket to give you an edge. It will provide the publicity necessary for people to know who you are, so that your music will get heard.

In order to make the best first impression on your readers, your press release should be well written, informative, and to the point. Be careful not to lose your reader’s attention by adding too many unneccesary details. Stick to the facts by explaining who you are and what you have to offer.

I generally prefer to write in a third person narrative when I have to create my own press release (click here to see an example). By asking myself the questions a reporter might ask me, I am able to think more freely and objectively.

Sample questions to ask and answer:

[Reporter] - Who are you- what is the name of your band?

[Band] - We have decided to call our band “Tangerine Sunshine”.

[R] - What kind of music do you play?

[B] - It’s somewhat eclectic and hard to define; kind of a mixture between alternative and rap.

[R] - I’ve heard that you have just finished recording a new CD. When will it be availabe to the public?

[B] - Yeah, it’s called “Mixed Emotions” and we’re really happy with the way it turned out. It will be available next week.

[R] - Where can a person get a copy of the CD?

[B] - It will be offered on our website (url) and through various other retail outlets (identify them).

[R] Great! How many tracks are on your album?

[B] Twelve.

[R] - Why did you pick “Tangerine Sunshine” for a name?

[B] - We like the colorful and positive image that it represents.

Of course, all the names mentioned above are fictitious and the illustration is only meant to show how you might organize the information you want to put in your press release. It can be modified any number of ways to suit your own particular needs. Once your make-believe reporter has gathered up all the facts, you’re ready to write.

Here is a simple outline for you to use:

THE HEADLINE

One of the most important things is to begin your press release with a catchy headline. You want to make sure that it will grab the attention of your reader right from the start.

FIRST PARAGRAPH

Get the information about who you are (the name of your band, etc.) and what you have to offer within the very first paragraph. Keeping the who, what, when, where, why and how questions before you as you write will help to stimulate the creative process.

SECOND PARAGRAPH

In the second paragragh of your press release you can go into a little more detail. Perhaps you’ll want to describe the style of your music, or tell something more about your upcoming event. If so, this is the place to do it.

THIRD PARAGRAGH

In this third and final paragragh you can briefly tell something about the other people who were involved with your project or event. Whatever you haven’t covered in your press release yet, but feel is important, you can add here. Be sure to include any contact information you have, especially a website or email address.

When your press release is ready, after you’ve spell-checked it for typos and grammar, go ahead and post it on your website and/or in your blog. Then send it to as many free PR sites as you can find. Mi2n.com is a good one for musicians and indie artists to start with.

You should also send your press release, along with a cover letter, to all the local newspapers in your area. Put “Attention: Editor” above the address on the envelope and if possible include a photo.

Don’t forget to send an email to all your friends, relatives, and neighbors as well. This is your time to shine, so reach for the stars!

Buy Dishwashers Online

When and if you should be surveying the market-place for the best deal on Dishwashers, looking on the internet can be a brilliant tactic to conserve valuable time & cash. If you’re tired of looking round retail outlet after high street business scanning for your families brand new dishwasher then why don’t you jump on your PC and get on the world wide web and begin shopping.

You very much should forever acquire your new dishwasher from shops you trust, however, when presented with some unknown stores on the net selecting might well be problematic. A amazing practice to stave off using erratic stores is to buy with web stores who also possess a strong high street location. You certainly should also be sure to look over the terms and conditions of each and every sites you’re thinking about obtaining your dishwasher from.

A further additional tactic to recognise a trustworthy on-line retailer if you are surveying the marketplace for high quality dishwashers is to find out whether the site have a dispassionate and elucidative shoppers handbook. Consulting a shoppers guide will probably also bring to the forefront a disturbing number of considerations you will not have thought of if you were merely perusing independently. The aforementioned may possibly include; energy consumption, extra features and storage capacity among other things.

Be very wary of obfuscated charges - VAT and delivery charges which are added on at the payment stage may oftentimes alter that first wonderful price that you found for your dishwasher into something very unremarkable.

Some online retailers are quicker than others - if the speed at which you get your dishwasher is simply not an issue then this may really not concern you that much. Though, if you would rather not be manually washing the pots and pans over X-mas then you will want to select a retailer who makes available guaranteed home-delivery times.

Dishwashers can commonly look the part when they are sat in a display room or on a web site but wind up disappointed when they reaches your families house. So be certain to check the returns policy of the web-site you’re ordering from. Dishwashers are an important part of the home so it’s critical to choose wisely.

Dierks Bentley Brings The Heat From Nashville To The North!

Dierks Bentley is more than meets the eye, but what does meet the eye is pretty darn hard not to look at. His presence is warm, inviting and you feel like you just sat down with an old friend. Kat and I sat down to talk to the country music star when he was in Toronto promoting his new album, Modern Day Drifter. The lead track off the album,”A lot of Leavin’ Left to do” made us wonder where the song came from. Pretty self explanatory to some, a guy leavin’ a lot of women, but Dierks shared with us that his career is what takes precedence right now and that is where his focus lies. That and with all of his fans around the world, of course.
Dierks has recently sold his house, “Being on the road so much, I am hardly in one place too long, it just made sense to sell”. Another ode to leavin’. So with a house sold, no “nest”, is there space for someone in your life or was there someone? Dierks doesn’t hesitate to give us the low-down dirty shame, “Well, there was someone special in my life and I did ask her to marry me.

What I was hoping for was a three letter answer and instead I got two”, Dierks chuckles, “Actually it was more like four letters and then two, but anyway she said no”. It seems that he manages to roll with the punches, not looking back on his past too much and make a song or two out of it all. Luckily, Kat and I were nice and close to Dierks should he have felt the need to cry on our shoulder. But, no need, he doesn’t miss a beat and we move onto where it all started for Dierks.

Well, the long and short of it is, I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with a lot of country music around me, my dad loved country music. One day, I heard Hank Williams Jr. singing about, I think he has a song called, “Naked Women and Beer” and I thought that this guy was pretty cool. Kat pipes in, “So that was your inspiration then?” Dierks gives us a hearty southern laugh, “Yeah, but I also was listening to Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks too”. “Oh so were you at the concert when he asked Trisha Yearwood to marry him?”, Kat asks. “Yeah, I was and I thought that was pretty cool and it was kinda nice to see that”, says Dierks. Dierks continues on to tell us that it was many musical artists that influenced him to keep going. That and the fact that many people who heard him sing would say that he had a good voice. So Dierks took that as a good sign, took it with him and his guitar to Nashville when he was 19 yrs old.
Dierks goes onto say, “Nashville is the place to be if you really want to make any head way as a country artist, So that is where I moved to.”

Being so young and on his own, Dierks took just about any job he could get his hands on and played at any gig or venue he could. He even had a job at TNN, but stayed so below the radar that everyone just kind of leaves you alone. “Often times if someone would pass me by in the copy area or something, I would just be (ughh, ahhh) and most people would just leave you alone. Act frustrated and most people just stay away from you”, chuckles Dierks.”So that’s how you would support yourself then,” says Kat.”Pretty much. That would give me my paycheque and I would play and write songs at night”, Dierks lets out a sigh and eases back into the couch.

It is those very early years that has given him the discipline that drives the machine of Dierks Bentley. “I just dug in my heels and kept working!”, Dierks continues on to say, “it’s all about the music”. www.dierks.com for more of that music, tour dates and press.
Well, Dierks Bentley made Kat and I love country music a little bit more. His performance later that evening at CLUB 279 HARD ROCK CAFE, Toronto, made us go out and purchase the album, Now, even if you haven’t caught Dierks Bentley in concert, no doubt you will soon, but in the meantime go out and buy his album- I am sure you will love him, I mean country, a little more!

Mobile Broad-Band is the key to the Development of High Speed Connections

Mobile broadband has been advertised as the latest development in the technological world that is more and more looking like it the key to the future of fast speed connection. So far, high speed connection has been provided through a standard telephone landline, ADSL connection, which connects to a computer via an ADSL modem or router. Wireless high speed connection is going to be increasingly famous, whereby the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line connection is connected to the PC via a wireless intranet, and many people are throwing away ADSL cables. However mobile broad-band is taking internet further and offering another big step in the developing of broadband; a broadband connection nearly in any room without using a landline cable.

The option of connecting with a working high speed connection connection at home is an interesting idea for potential internet users, like those who often connect to internet with their personal computer away from home. Business people for example who travel for work are the obvious target for mobile broadband who will surely love the opportunity of not having to search for a reliable WI-FI hotspot for a fast internet connection. Mobile high speed connection will go further than that, and as soon as costs start to be reduced and connection lines get faster we will witness the broad band potential clients buying mobile broadband.

Mobile broad band works by linking a portable modem to a pc, often referred to as a ‘dongle’, from which a PC is then able to connect to the mobile high speed internet provider the customers have acquired. Many companies are packaging mobile broadband offers and coverage of the networks, popular as three G networks, which is now said to be more than 90% of the United Kingdom.

Connection speed has been important for any high speed internet connection and mobile high speed connection companies some years ago had problems to market potential mobile users that any mobile broadband could compete with conventional, landline internet. Things are improving, however, with Vodafone reporting mobile broadband lines of up to 7.3 mb, as fast as most of the fastest landline broadband. Most of the western countries, including England, are laying plans to finance with huge amount of money in fibre optic cable networks, because they want to improve high speed internet line to up to 100mb. Get the cheapest mobile Broadband deals with Compare Broadband UK.

In New Zealand a leading telecom supplier has reported that mobile broad-band networks will soon develop fast over the coming years and they have predicted that mobile high speed connection could be delivering speeds of up to 100mb in the next three years, the exact year the UK’s fibre optic network is due to be finished. This could create a turning point in industry thinking, with the discovery of a super fast mobile broad-band network having obvious advantages over the cabling of lots of Kilometres of fibre optic cables, not least from a practical point of view.

Ramones Forever

Immortality is so much better when you can stay around long enough to realize it …

In that respect, the Ramones endured to at least have a hint it was being bestowed upon them.

Once again, you’ve got a chance to see why. If you were among the many who missed them in their heyday, you can now relish their legend — in sound and sight — with a cleverly-packaged collection entitled ‘Weird Tales of the Ramones.’ If you have any favorable inclinations toward rock music or pop culture, this is an essential item for your edification and enjoyment. Not only does the set contain 85 Ramones songs and 18 videos, it features an impressive array of works from top pop comic artists, such as ‘Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening and ‘Mad’ magazine’s Sergio Aragones (there’s even a 3D comic, glasses included).

The band probably had an inkling of their icon status in the late 1970s when Rolling Stone magazine named them as one of the seven most important groups in Rock-&-Roll history. However, even then, the relative squalor of their daily existence was threatening to put them in the ironic company of Mozart and van Gogh, two titans of their art whose earthly rewards fell far short of their legacies.

Actually, all the Ramones ever wanted was a hit. They were New York misfits who grew up humming to the Top-40 charts, so perhaps that yearning was understandable. It was yet another irony of their careers, as their ultimate impact on rock music was that of being iconoclasts. They ultimately didn’t need the Top-40 to make their presence felt.

A recent movie scene hit this nail right on the head. When Jack Black’s faux-teacher character in the wonderful ‘School of Rock’ diagrammed the influences of virtually every esteemed band of this era on a blackboard for his elementary-school students, the name at the center of that chalked universe was, rightfully, etched in all capital letters: RAMONES. Another indicator of their impact is the lineup of artists who covered their tunes on a ‘tribute’ album compiled by the late Johnny Ramone and Rob Zombie (if your musical tastes are merely mainstream, he contributed ‘Dragula’ to the ‘Matrix’ soundtrack). The album was produced to generate proceeds for lymphoma research, which claimed the life of Joey Ramone. Those who paid homage with their performances were a veritable Who’s Who of today’s rock industry:

- Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder (who was a close friend of Johnny Ramone),

- U2

- Metallica

- Marilyn Manson

- Tom Waits

- The Pretenders

- Red Hot Chili Peppers

- Offspring

- Garbage

Even glam-rockers Kiss made an appearance, perhaps as a subtle acknowledgement that their own style-over-substance circus act has been well and truly outlasted by the stripped-down sound of the Ramones. Kiss’ contribution to the cause, though, may have been to first establish that a group didn’t really need a Top-40 hit — their only noodling of note that made the hit list was a ballad, ‘Beth’ — to become financially independent. Merchandising was their meal ticket and years later, that was the route that finally served the Ramones so well. Their first roadie, Arturo Veja, designed a distinct logo and hawked a ton of clothing and posters at their concerts. The logo imitates seal of the USA’s Defense Department, which in a sense, embodied the essence of the group:

- They were proudly American,

- Their sound was aggressive, and

- Their compact compositions seemed to defend the roots of Rock-&-Roll.

To this day, items adorned with the Ramones logo can be found everywhere in the world. A further show of the band’s ever-growing effect on current consciousness is seen in sports, as hockey arenas all over North America have turned the seminal ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ (’Hey, ho, let’s go!’) into an anthem that raised the song’s mainsteam familiarity to such an extent that it now provides the ‘zeitgeist’ attitude portrayed in Pepsi-Cola commercials and elsewhere.

In a way, the Ramones finally have their hit. With the third passing of the original four band members — bassist DeeDee Ramone — only drummer-cum-producer Tommy Ramone has survived to completely bask in the belated glory.

Besides the release of the boxed anthology, the other reason to wax poetic about the Ramones right now is the announcement that the Sex Pistols have finally been accepted into the Rock-&-Roll Hall of Fame. To many, they were the clarions of punk rock, but both the Pistols and The Clash owe their origins to the Ramones, who were inducted in 2002, when all but lead-singer Joey were still alive.

The Pistols and Clash were in attendance for the first Ramones concert to rock the UK. Both met the group, who encouraged them to forsake perfection and embrace energy and get their sounds recorded as they were. Even the term ‘punk rock’ was created in New York by underground diarist Legs McNeil to describe the Ramones (and Iggy Pop’s Stooges) as well as the genre that was emerging from the dark shadows of disco, appealing to the disaffected and disenchanted who clung to the late-60s ideal that music still mattered.

One pleasant surprise on the boxed set is the inclusion of a song the Ramones only released in the UK, ‘I Don’t Want to Live This Life Anymore.’ It’s DeeDee’s melodic projection of the last moments in the drug-engulfed murder-suicide of Sex Pistol bassist Sid Vicious and girlfriend Nancy Spungen. This concise, haunting opus, composed late in the group’s career, served to further illuminate the torch being passed, from the influence the Beatles’ early songs had on the Ramones — the band took their name from an alias Paul McCartney commonly used when registering at hotels — to their own influence on the British scene that grew from their presence.

The Pistols substituted anger for the Ramones’ wit, but they still had the artistic ‘edge’ that all great rock acts possess. They, and so many groups after them — including Nirvana and Green Day — took their cue from the Ramones that the music was more than just a catchy tune. Much more. The Ramones returned the music to its adulators by making it accessible again. They hit the raw sensations that powered Rock-&-Roll in the first place.

And that may have been the Ramones’ greatest ‘hit’ of all.

Singers take note!

If you’ve ever been hung up about singing in front of others it
may not be your fault. It may be you are afraid. There’s nothing
wrong with being afraid. Fear can be a good thing. Nevertheless,
hundreds of people are walking around with scars from peers and
teachers, family and friends because they have been told to
“Shut Up,” or they couldn’t sing. Such criticisms are generally
false. If you feel you would benefit from a fresh start and some
encouragement, I would encourage you to examine my new CD Amalia

Kanye West Music: What is His Deal Behind Late Registration?

Ka-ha-hanye! The latest Kanye West music release, Late Registration, follow-up to the oppositely titled, The College Dropout, has Kanye going in exactly that, an opposite direction in everything, except credibility. That part’s intact.

It’s getting tougher and tougher, as opposed to the 90’s and even decades preceding, to place an artist strictly in a subgenre of a genre. Yes, Kanye West music is obviously in the hip-hop genre. But what type of subgenre does he really fall in? I mean, he does speak for “the people”, in particularly America’s African-American population, making the general population at large become aware of the crises that his brothers and sisters are going through. If not obvious from his music, it is obvious off the stage, regarding his recent opinion of U.S. President George Bush.

So what would that subgenre be? Political rap? “Folk-rap”? “Socioneconomic rap”? Can’t really think of many others…

But here’s some accurate thoughts on the subject. Kanye West music has socioenomical, and political influences. This aspect of his music is quite intact even through his latest release, Late Registration. Of the interesting approaches that he takes with this record is the anomosity that “brothers” may feel when one of their own “graduates” from their clan and “leaves” them.

Background tracks are gallore throughout both West’s releases. The latest turn on Late, however, regarding the overall look and feel music-wise, is more raw and vibrant than its predecessor.

Music patterns of the late 60’s and 70’s; for example, Major7 to “minor”7 shifts, horn orchestra sections; occupy much of the background of Kanye West music on his current release. The first several tracks are vibrant in even another more current way, with more spicing of techno in the bass.

The College Dropout was a big pleaser to both fans and critic alike. Late Registration, which keeps a great distance away from a traditional sophomore slump (interesting how we don’t see many of these anymore), should have no problem in similar pleasing, or even more, on most aspects.

While The college Dropout had several moments in it, for example strong stand-out tracks and singles, or even “what-the-****- was-that?!” moment of lyrics, there are less tracks on Late Registration that appear to stick out like a sore thumb. Don’t get me wrong, it is still an excellent record, although as a whole, not because of just several spiky moments of ingenius Kanye West music.

The whole album is ingenius, made by a genius.

On a final note, due to overwhelming publicity - on and off stage; planned and incidental - there will virtually be no shortage of this release offline or online. It will set you back between $10-15, however, depending on where you buy it. Although the maximum price to download Late will be about $12 note that if you acquire them online, and if their are other releases from Kanye (even other than The College Dropout that you still haven’t checked) you’ll save money downloading ALL music from Kanye West, possibly paying no more than what you would for just Late Registration.

To find out reputable reputable digital music downloads services where you can save money this way, then read further as to where Kanye West music is available.

All-in-all, Kanye West, is definitely moving forward in his carrier with Late Registration, even though it may appear that he is going backward with the album title.

Which Music Software Programs Fit Your Needs?

Want to find out how to listen to all your favorite songs whenever you want? If so, you’ll want to learn more about music software and how you can install some programs onto your computer. Here are some descriptions of some basic music software programs you will want to learn more about:

CD Ripper

A CD Ripper program allows you to convert tracks from a compact disc to your mp3 player, or onto your computer. You can make your own mp3s from audio CDs, so that you make your own song selections. You can also convert batches of WAV decoded files at a time to mp3 files on the CD Ripper, and if you want to download this program onto your computer, you’ll need to have Microsoft Windows 95, 98, or 2000, and a CD-ROM drive. For most CD Ripper programs, you can try a free download first before purchasing the product.

Audio Editors

If you are into recording and creating your own music, an audio editor program may be a good investment. An audio editor program allows you to save your own studio sessions or songs to modify later. Most include a metronome (to keep music and vocals in rhythm) and an audio mixer. The mixer allows you to adjust different music track settings like tone, pitch or volume. On some programs you can even ‘beat match’ between tracks, thus allowing for a smoother transition between songs. One audio editing program you may want to try is Blaze Media Pro, a program which is also a CD burner and converter. And, if you’re recording a large file, most audio editors will be able to support your files with no problem at all. If you are using a multi-track editor, one thing to keep in mind is whether your sound card and memory capabilities are up to the task of handling large volumes of songs,.

Although most audio editor programs are commercial (and not freeware) and have a standard price tag, you can receive free trials for audio editor programs as well. Be aware of the memory and sound card requirements as designated by the company who produces the software. Depending on who makes the software, it may be available for Windows XP, Windows 98, ME, 2000 and even Mac OSX.

Korg Triton Series

Korg has been the leaders in synth and workstation production over the last few years with their Triton range and in 2006 there is no reason to suggest they don’t hold this title. Korg at the moment make 4 different models of Tritons:

  • Triton Le
  • Triton Extreme
  • Triton Rack
  • Triton Studio

All these models are based around a similar design and are have great sounds and lots of them. I personally own a Triton and the thing that I most love about it is that it has everything I need and it’s all quality. There are a lot of synths out there that may have a lot of sounds but the sounds are very ordinary. With the Triton you have quality all round. Anyway let’s talk about the features of the Korg Tritons.

Korg Triton Le

The Triton Le is the entry level synth of the Triton series. It takes all the best features of the Triton range and compiles it into a cost effective product by where you get a top quality synth without paying a lot of money. The Triton Le comes in 3 different sizes - 61 key (list price US$1860.00), 76 key (*), 88 key (list price US$2466.00). The 88 key Triton Le comes with a fully weighted grand piano keys and comes with an extra 16mb grand piano sample set.

Korg Triton Extreme

The Triton Extreme is the next model up from the Le and is the newest model to the Triton series. The Triton Extreme takes synths and workstations to a whole new level, its comes with a vacuum tube processor, USB CD burning and data sharing, compact flash storage and all the standard sounds and features of a Triton. Like the Triton Le the Triton Extreme comes in 3 different sizes - 61 key (list price US$2800.00), 76 key (list price US$3150.00), 88 key (list price US$3600). The Triton Extreme is a great synth/workstation if you want high performance and require enhanced features.

Korg Triton Rack

The Triton Rack is a rack mount version of the Triton series. It allows you to use all the functions and sounds of the triton series with any piano, keyboard, midi controller or other compatible synth. In terms of features the Triton Rack comes as a compact 2 space rack mount unit and contains 8 EXB-PCM expandable slots to add expansion boards. Its also allows you to have access to 2057 programs and 1664 combinations at any one point - including 256 GM programs and 9 GM drum programs. At a list price of US$2500.00 it is a great option is you already have a piano or keyboard that can act as a controller and you don’t want to spend the big $$$$ for a Triton Studio or Triton Extreme.

Korg Triton Studio

The Korg Triton Studio is the top model of the Triton series and contains all the bells and whistles you could imagine. From initial recordings on the Triton Studio to creating audio CDs, from over 3000 programs and combinations combined, and with a 48 Mbyte PCM ROM (including 429 multi-samples and 417 drum samples) the Triton Studio is leading the way in the synth and workstation world. You Name It, It Has It! Like the Triton Le and Extreme, the Triton Studio comes in 3 different sizes - 61 key (list price US$3400.00), 76 key (list price US$3800.00) and the flagship of the Triton range, The Triton Studio 88 key (list price US$4200.00). If you are after THE BEST in synth and workstation technology than you can not go past the Triton Studio Range.

* - 76 key Triton Le is hard to find a price on since very little of them are sold.

4 Tips to Responsible Gaming with UK Online Casinos

Gaming in online casinos can be a lot of fun and can potentially bring in profit. However, online gaming in casinos loses it’s fun when players don’t gamble responsibly. Here are a few tips that can help anyone who currently plays at online casinos, or is thinking about playing.

1. It is important to set boundaries for yourself. Decide on loss limits and time limits. Setting aside a certain amount of money that you are willing to part with is very beneficial. Players who don’t set aside certain amounts of money can fall into the trap of gambling to try to win back money. For example, if someone is down 100 dollars, than he or she may try to wager 100 dollars in order to make up for it. However, this often backfires and he or she ends up down 200 dollars. This can easily snowball. Time limits are also important. Too much gaming in online casinos can lead to “burnout.” For this reason, it is important to set time limits for yourself.

2. Be smart about where your gaming money comes from. Gaming money should only be taken from money set aside for entertainment. Money that is needed for everyday expenses should never be used in online casinos. Additionally, you should never borrow money in order to gamble. If you are borrowing money, then that is a pretty good sign that you shouldn’t be gambling in the first place.

3. Manage your time wisely. It is always a good idea to take breaks and do other activities in between gaming. Some people wake up in the morning and game all day. This could not be more hazardous. Playing for a little in the morning, and then going throughout the rest of your day, and playing again at night is a good example of how to balance gaming time. Taking frequent breaks can also potentially increase your success. Some players get tired and make mistakes. However, when gaming, keeping your mind fresh and loose can be extremely beneficial.

4. Finally, and most importantly, have fun. The second that you stop having fun while gaming, you should stop. Gaming is supposed to be fun. You are taking chances, thinking, meeting new people, and potentially making some money. When you find yourself struggling to have a good time, then you should call it a day.

Gaming can be a lot of fun, and if you follow these tips you will have a rewarding experience. Never put gaming before other important things in life, and always be responsible. People who have the most success in online casinos avoid burnout and enjoy themselves the entire time.
