Looking for commission-only sales for your hip-hop blog/website? People who are talented at sales, and business development, (because selling advertising on your blog or site is more than sales, there is targeting, analyzing and strategic planning to be done here), probably won’t work for commission, especially when it is something that is very difficult to sell. You might get people who AREN’T very good at it, and sure, you don’t have to pay them anything, but you probably won’t get much accomplished either. Meanwhile, these people will potentially blow through your leads, or even worse, be unprofessional, turning off potential advertisers to the brand. When you DO get someone good enough to sell, there won’t be many places left that will take you seriously.

The night I first listened, I checked Bobby Trends show and he had on Uncle Murda and Mickey Factz. The combo of these two alone was something you wouldn’t normally get on commercial radio, and the whole AListRadio structure struck me as an interesting, experiment in the internet radio world.
