March Assignment!

[amanda]

Thought I would post the mission of the month over here, as well!



MISSION OF THE MONTH: MARCH.

* * * * *
Look up some of your favorite popular bands on iTunes that are similar to We The Living (for examples, check out our "Influences" & "Sounds Like" sections on our myspace). Then, write a review about that album, but emphasize that listeners would also enjoy WTL. For example, let's say you're reviewing Mute Math, you could say something like:

Love this album! I saw them this summer and met a really cool band called WE THE LIVING outside the show. They played me some of their music and I was hooked! Check them out at myspace.com/wetheliving! They should totally be opening for Matchbox Twenty right now!! ROFL!!@!#!"

Maybe leave out the ROFL. That's up to you. Anyway, once you've gotten your review written up, submit it. Then, round up all of your friends (and fellow WE Team members), and have them click "YES" at the bottom of your review, next to "Was this review helpful?"

The reviews with the most YES's go straight to the top, and are displayed when someone views the album on iTunes. Visibility!

Some really popular albums (like The Fray's "How to Save a Life") need over 400 votes to make it to the top, so try to stay away from those (unless you're up for a real challenge!).

Anyway good luck! And feel free to post on here so people can find and vote for your review! We'll let you know the results, and we'll make sure to send some prizes your way if your review sticks!

Remember to give Matt the credit for writing the missions.

Matt says (via Facebook):

"All you have to do is go to this link (it will open iTunes on your computer) and click "YES" for every review.

It'll take seriously about one minute, and we will ♥ you for it!"

Not that it's a bad thing, but that's a lot of reviews to write.

[lilmisstaggart]

They are copy and paste type reviews.
On the other hand I go to a private school and we have wired classrooms,
which means that my parents pay lots of money for me to do WE Team things
all day and AP Chem sucks.
