Bio: CTWpromotions was formed officially in 2005 as a way to continue to help and promote all genres of music artists in the new era of Myspace. The name derived from the influential indie record label of the same name which was started way back in 1991 by Mike “CTW” Warden. Mike Warden is the founder/owner of Conquer The World Records (CTW) the notable indie label. CTW is always on the cutting edge in creative online marketing concepts and promotional avenues. He is considered a noteworthy A&R talent scout as several bands he has discovered and put under the CTW label have gotten to the next level and even have started careers under "major" level record companies and subsidiaries. Let alone the influence those bands have directly had on their respective sub genres, multiple record labels have been started on consultation encouragement and inspiration early on from the CTW label. February 2006 added another accomplishment as Warden became a cutting edge audio book publisher. He is now 36 years old and continues to nourish up and coming artists through the CTWpromotions agency. Potential clients and employers can check out Mike's official resume here.
Commentary...Aug 08 It's been several years since CTW started offering Myspace promotion on a service basis. We have weathered several storms and time periods of change in the trends of Myspace culture. Most recently we have been attacked in blogs, and people have outright made up all kinds of things out of thin air with no substance in anyway shape or form. We have made enemies in many of those companies because of the articles about avoiding myspace scams. Heres the bottom line. We're still here- No legal notices, No deleted profiles, No complaints. Those fake promoters and companies are not- We do legitimate work, they don't. Period. |
CTWpromotions.com legitimatemyspacepromo.com (As heard on Oraclebroadcasting.com, as seen in the Indie Bible, Google Adwords, Music Industry Newsletters etc.)
CTW Promotions aka (Conquer The World Records)when not working on it's own business deals does myspace promotion for labels, authors, bands, artists, and so forth. It's quite simple actually would you rather have more potential fans checking you out daily or less potential fans? Would you rather have your music profile blowing up daily or just sit there collecting dust? To any musician in this day and age the myspace profile is the most important tool in you're arsenal. We know you are serious about the music so you should be serious about the activity on your profile. --- CTW is not a views and plays whore company anyone that really cares about the safety of the profile would never ever do this nor should you ever contract one of those sites to do it for you. To be perfectly blunt those companies are trying to scam you out of your money. From my experience CTW is one of the ONLY LEGITIMATE MYSPACE PROMOTION companies out there. There are many with fancy looking flash pages that are willing to trick you with fake testimonials and no music business history and credentials. Don't ever say we didn't try to warn you. I'm trying to be nice here those companies will rip you off for hundreds of dollars before you realize it's a scam. Click here to read a more detailed article about this common scam model posted to the myspace blog. Certainly be aware that if you are using any of the companies listed on this page you are being scammed. Click here to read Wired magazines blog regarding fake companies. You can get legitimate high powered effective promotion for little as $125 a week to compliment other campaigns such as booking/tour/radio/Press and PR/label/CD/iTunes Releases etc. We provide a variety of services and representation for artists who are in the need of or want a specialized myspace promotions agent on a weekly or monthly basis. Services include traffic boosting, friends, views and plays, comments and so forth. Promotional campaigns vary based on the clients specific needs and are managed and scheduled in a professional manner. * * *

Mike really knows what he's doing. I was very skeptical at first so I researched him for a few days before going in and my manager did verify the research as well. He (CTW) got me over a thousand fans in a week and a half, plus plenty of comments and plays. I have never seen anything like it! It's well worth the money. He has worked very close and personally with me to design some quality graphics as well. Don't go with ANYONE else! He's the only one in my opinion that can do this legitimately. You are welcome to message me on my page to verify this testimonial. Saqi Dosaj – Alternative/Spoken Word Folk - myspace.com/saqi
I have worked with CTW many times over the last year and they always deliver exactly what they advertise, and that's important given all the scams out there. CTW offers a great way to market on a grass roots level for a good price. John Whiteman - Arete Promotions - US Now days the music industry is very open and free, with signed and unsigned bands using the Internet. It has also made it a lot more competitive. With websites such as Myspace, unsigned bands have the same playing field as anyone else. So to get your business up and running , for record labels, band bookers, radio stations and most importantly the general public to take notice. I recommend CTW promotions . As promoting your own band takes hours out of your day, CTW will take those hours for you and give you amazing results with very fast efficiency. In one week our friends had grown five time more . Comments were being sent with positive feedback, and band managers, radio stations and promoters were sending us messages. If you fail to prepare then be prepared to fail. So don't hesitate to catch your dreams jump on board CTW promotions. Free To Run – Blues Guitar Rock - Australia I was in serious need of somebody professional to promote my Myspace page for me. I had been ripped off by people in the past, who would only do half the job they were payed to do. I hired Conquer The World to promote my page, and I am really glad I did. Mike came through, and did everything he was hired to do. My music reached many people across the world, and the feedback and opportunities that came my way were amazing. I would definitely recommend CTW if you want somebody professional and trustworthy to promote your page. Timothy James Morrow - Pop Rock Guitarist CTW does exactly what they say. I am very impressed with the amount of plays and friends I have accumulated in just the first week. I have signed up again for another week and will continue working with CTW for my myspace promotion. CTW is legit and is perfect for the We've used CTW before but their service never ceases to amaze me. We've all seen the automated friend and play software services which proliferate on the net but what do they really do apart from make your page look slightly more popular? CTW's targeted campaign generates genuine feedback and networking opportunities in super quick time.
Our last campaign resulted in numerous gig offers, radio play and media coverage. I can't recommend CTW highly enough.
Ken Sonic Vista Recordings - Label UK
I can't recommend CTW enough. In just a singular one week campaign we nearly doubled everything that had previously taken a year to acquire on our my space page. Targeted real friends and fans that we wouldn't have had access too before being an unsigned, underground band. I can honestly say it's some of the best money we've ever spent. Bobby Manila GEEK LOVE Melbourne, Australia Hello, my name is Young Lace and I'm one of the artists under CTW Promotions I’m a rapper out of LA. I've gained tons of legitimate profile views/comments and over 5,000 targeted friends in less then 1 month. My companies income has increased and tons of people are downloading and purchasing my products... I highly recommend CTW to any artists who are trying to make real moves in the music industry the work really helps progress you on many levels. Young Lace Rapper LA USA hi mike, -Josh - The Happy Endings - Australia
Mike works hard to find your perfect fanbase match. What you get for your money are both instant results and lasting fans. I'll definitely be working with CTW again in the future, White noise Radio
Hey Mike,
Mike, you did a great job, thank you. That might have been the best $125 we ever spent on our band! We are having a band rehearsal/meeting on tuesday and we need to find a way to use your services. You will hear from us, again. Brian "Super B" Smith.
CTW really helped get my new Myspace page off the ground, so I could quickly and efficiently reach my target market. In one week, CTW did what would have taken me many weeks. CTW is honest and professional, and I would definitely work with them again!" (Marcie for Myspace.com/behindthelyric)
WOW! Thanks Mike! You did a great job! I will definitely be using you again. I would love to catch up with last weeks requests first. I heard from a couple of radio stations so that's great!
Mike,
Wow, my friends went from 400 to over 4000 in 3 weeks! The amazing thing is that they were targeted hits rather than just random. I picked a fairly odd combination of celtic music in Wisconsin. I Can't believe how much it boosted my attendance at a local level yet set me up for reaching out to bigger markets.
Mike delivers on his promise and so much more.
Derek Byrne
Mike, Hey...what
can i say. Mike did such a amazing job. At first i was skeptical but in
these four weeks he hit us in the MYSPACE ROCKABILLY/PSYCHOBILLY TOP TEN
Genre. We started with 1.000 friends, in four weeks we are now nearly
7.000. That`s brilliant! Mike, Thank you so much for your support. Johnny,
Built 4 Speed (This band is currently charting #1 in the country for their respective genre and doing a european tour) ay dawg you
went above and beyond my expectations... worth every penny. hi mike, on behalf of consumption i want to thank you for all the hard work you've put into the online promotion. we were amazed at the amount of exposure we've gotten. our plays doubled and our friends almost tripled. my advice to other bands seeking online promotion is to hire this guy while he's available. he's done a hell of a job with us and we'll definitely be using him again soon. thanks again, alex- consumption Hey Mike! You did a fantastic job. I am really excited about it and would recommend the service to anyone. I have seen an increase in messages/comments and interest about the book since your promotion began 1 week ago. - Tom Tancin Author of The Man On The Moon. To whom it
may concern, Mike CTW really helped out with the promo of the page. He was cool. Think I had him promo for three weeks, we ended up with 400 to 500 plays a day and about 3000 friends added. He found the right crowd of people to spread the word - the people liked the tunes and told their friends....very important. it took off. Got v. busy w/ college radio, promoters, lots of interested punters - most people from the States >>> think your stuff would go over big there too. Especially Calif. BMNSTR Page is quiet now, waiting for new tunes - may hit up Mike again after revamping the page. So yeah, Mike helped find a load of excited people for B-MONSTER - you can have an amazing band, but its still gotta be promoted make it go places - and not just on the bastard road! - Bmonster - Band --- When we first
hired Mike we had less than 1000 friends and now we´re almost up
to 8000, still increasing. I think he did a great job, we wanted to promote
ourselves on the swedish/scandinavian market and we got a lot of new friends.
I think we had at least one hour per day answering comments and mails
from people that liked the music. We also got in contact with record labels
and producers and tons of other bands so our network got a lot bigger.
I don´t know how much or if our digital sales increased and we did´t
sell that many cd´s, but that might be our own fault since we don´t
have distribution in Scandinavia yet, only from USA (www.cdbaby.com).
So that´s kind of hard to tell. But otherwise it was a lot of more
hits and friends for us. We got about 30-40 people a week that requests
friendship and Mike no longer work for us so I guess that is pretty good.
One hip-hoper/producer is working on a remix for one of our songs, he
found us thanks to mike. Hope this was helpful, otherwise just let me know! Ola, Sunday Sound - Band -

To any person experienced with marketing you will understand that by using this information you can see exactly where your friends are, their ages, their sex, if they are bands, how many Myspace friends they have, and the last time they logged in etc. This is a one time report that will be generated within a few days of the order and sent to you to keep. The next step is to consult back to decide what you want to do with that information to maximize your networking on Myspace Pricing can vary as the bigger the list the more difficult it is to maintain.

Stand out from other artists.
We combine the best in marketing knowledge and technical expertise to raise myspace profile activity. You will get more friends, plays, views, comments, and certainly if the music is really good you will generate cd sales and digital sales of your music We do not have a legal document outlining services. The promotional contract is bonded for as long as the payment period is that you have paid up to.
How to get the most out of promotions… Myspace promotion is more than online work however getting numbers and targeted friends is a part of it and just doing myspace promotion is not going instantly achieve you results. To be effective like many of my long term clients you MUST combine the myspace promotional time with real world work on your end. Several of CTW’s clients have been able to get distribution deals, promote new records, book tours, get radio interviews and TV appearances and of course they are charting and gaining more friends/fans and using that high profile activity to get every single real world decision to be weighed in their favor. Take a breathe and read the next paragraph multiple times so you understand what it means. THAT MEANS. ANYONE who is considering you for booking a show, writing an article, giving you airplay, or any other kinds of business that you are working on who gets in front of your page; YOU WILL GET THE DEAL, YOU WILL GET THE PRESS, YOU WILL GET THE SHOW, YOU WILL GET THE INTERVIEW, YOU WILL IMPRESS ANYONE. I thought maybe this would have been common sense for most artists and people but I don’t see people utilizing the promotional time they purchased effectively as they could be sometimes. Use and maximize your promotional time effectively.

Mike, MIKE, SIMPLE AND PLAIN, CTW IS THE TRUUUUTH!!!!! LISTEN I KNOW WE ALL LOOK AT OUR BULLETINS AND SEE SOME SAYIN, "GET SUPER ADDS" OR "WANNA GET MORE PLAYS AND UP YOUR FRIEND COUNT...TRY THIS!!". WE ALL TRY THEM AND ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO...OR THERES SO MUCH GARBAGE IN BETWEEN SIGNING UP AND ADDING THIS PERSON FOR THIS AND THAT LOL. FORGET ALL THAT, DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO ANY OF THOSE ANYMORE...I REPEAT...DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO EM' . WHAT U NEED TO DO IS GET IN TOUCH WIT MY MAN MIKE AT CTW!! I DI, AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE'VE GONE FROM 1,200 FRIENDS, TO ROUGHLY 4,000 IN A WEEK!!! YEA I SAID A WEEK!. OUR PLAYS HAVE DAMN NEAR DOUBLED SINCE LINKING UP WITH MIKE. WE WENT FROM 13,000 PLAYS TO OVER 30,000 IN A COUPLE WEEKS!!!!! IF U WANT TO TRULY PROMOTE UR MUSIC AND GET URSELF TRAFFIC FLOWING THRU UR PAGE...STOP WASTING TIME AND HOLL AT MIKE !!!!. YA'LL KNOW THE URL...USE IT! MIKE !! HAHA MAH DUDE! GOOD LOOKIN OUT!! WE'RE GONNA BE DOIN BUSINESS FOR A LOOOOOONG TIME!!! ~JAY B~ Since Joining Mike, and the CTW Family my music career & and my fan base has grown rapidly and so tremendous this past half year…I have been on my space since Nov. 2005 and never had that fan base I fully wanted until I teamed-up and Mike & CTW and ive gotten so many opportunities, It has helped me make career moves in a short time that takes years for some artists..Mike has got me as a customer for life…. The Message I used Conquer The World Promotions a few times as a trial and it worked brilliantly! I was expanding my network through Myspace at exponential rates. My orders were met quickly and correctly. I was warned that other companies either wouldn't fulfill their promise or didn’t know what they were doing and were just after my money. Curious to see the difference, I tried other companies and within a few weeks I received a letter from Myspace Help informing me that my account had violated their spam and music abuse policies and that my account was going to be deleted! I will never make that mistake again, CTW is the way to go! Thanks Mike - Mindchanger I can say that I have a couple of potential record deals at the moment. I'm waiting for the contracts to get here, then we'll see where it goes. I will be sure to tell you when a deal is made. Of course, with all of the plays and friends, it's put me in the top 1 or 2 spots in electronica/trance/ambient for Kentucky. At one time I broke into the top 50 in the US, so you are playing a huge role in that, for sure!
You're service is a huge help, and I appreciate it more than you know! I have big plans for 2008, so stay tuned! :)
Wayne
The recent campaign you did for us was fantastic. We got in excess of 1,000 new japanese friends who were all valid and targeted music fans or bands and this from only a one week campaign. I can't stress enough how helpful this was and would recommend your service to all independent labels and bands as a very cost effective way to increase your profile and promote your music. Regards
