I was inconsiderate but now I’m everywhere

<p> When I was in the music business, there was a record producer who lived in New Jersey, but refused to come into New York City. Anyone that wanted to meet with him had to drive all the way down to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ponti">his</a> little town. I thought, “What’s his problem? Is he lazy or scared?” </p><p> When musicians or authors ask my advice on distribution, I recommend using all forms of media, because… </p> <ul><li> Some people only listen to audio. </li><li> Some people only watch video. </li><li> Some people only read paper books. </li><li> Some people only swipe feeds on their phone. </li><li> etc. </li></ul> <p> If you have something worth spreading, it’s <a href="https://sive.rs/m">considerate</a> to spread it widely, to reach people through their favorite medium. </p><p> But me? I was acting like the record producer in New Jersey, making everyone come to <a href="https://sive.rs/">my website</a>. <strong> It was inconsiderate. </strong> So I’m taking my own advice, and distributing through the top channels. </p><p> My own site is the <a href="https://indieweb.org/POSSE">master source</a> of everything I make. But now it’s also shared everywhere, so we can meet in your city instead of my little town. </p> <ul><li> <a href="https://x.com/sivers">x.com/sivers</a> </li><li> <a href="https://sive.rs/d">Fediverse @d@sive.rs</a> </li><li> <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/sive.rs">Bluesky @sive.rs</a> </li><li> <a href="https://t.me/dereksivers">Telegram @dereksivers</a> </li><li> <a href="https://www.dereksivers.org/">Substack dereksivers.org</a> </li><li> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dereksivers/posts">youtube.com/@dereksivers</a> </li><li> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dereksivers">tiktok.com/@dereksivers</a> </li><li> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sivers">facebook.com/sivers</a> </li><li> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dereksivers/">instagram.com/dereksivers</a> </li></ul>
