Rapper **Kosha Dillz** shares some wisdom on **self-promotion** when you on a **limited budget**. It’s a nice mix of specific suggestions and general principles for any DIY promoter.

[Kosha Dillz’](http://www.koshadillzworld.com/?ref=hypebot.com) post at [Audible Hype](http://www.audiblehype.com/blogs/business/2011/aug/17/5-ways-stay-public-when-you-cant-afford-publicist/?ref=hypebot.com) offers some great tips:

**1\. Social Media Campaign**

“If you can learn how to develop your own identity on…\[Twitter and Facebook\], its almost the same…\[as\] hosting your own morning show.”

**2\. Clever Song**

“The song “I love Jews” made it into Spin Magazine because it was genius idea more than a great song (sampled the Delphonics la la la la i love you song).”

**3\. Message Boards**

“Although you think that they may be obsolete, they are free zones to post music share links and start threads on what is hot and what is not.”

**4\. College Radio**

“Send links to college radio (just google it) and contact your local station via phone.”

**5\. Be the Local Hero**

“If you want to save money, build locally.”

**6\. Favors for a Favor**

“The key here is to do more favors than you receive.”

**7\. Keep Showing Up**

“I can only tell you how i showed up to reach out to a guy from Holland that later popped up at my SXSW show in 2010 and put me on tour with Snoop Dogg.”

**8\. Be Relentless (w. boundaries)**

“In terms of publicity you must also realize that any press is good press. Can you make it?”
