The Laptop Sessions: “Sober” (New Music by Indie Music Songwriter Jim Fusco)

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

By Jim Fusco:

Welcome to Original Wednesday here on the Laptop Sessions! Tonight, I bring you the first ever video starring Jim, Chris, and Becky for my original song from the new MoU album, “Homestead’s Revenge”.

“Sober” is a song I wrote a couple years ago and has become a live favorite whenever we play it. I wrote it during the recording of the first MoU album, but didn’t get to record it until recently, so it remains a “new” song.

I had Chris and Becky help me out for two reasons- first, the harmonies. Second, the fact that my voice kinda gave out tonight right before I went to record another original song called “The Game”. And, for anyone that’s heard that song before, you know it’s not one to sing with a bad vocal range! I guess that will have to wait three weeks.

I hope you enjoy this edition of Original Wednesday and I hope you’ll come back tomorrow for the continuation of “#1 Week” here at LaptopSessions.com!

Business Consulting Services

Jim’s Marketing Consultant Services are $30 an hour. Click HERE to visit our Contact page and get your custom quote! We assure you, the job will be done quickly and professionally!

On top of all the other things Jim does, he’s a bargain shopper. That’s why he’s trying to make it easy for ANYONE to come to FMP Studios and leave with a great value.

Jim has scoured the internet and abroad to find the best deals with the best quality. Are you thinking of buying 500 postcards and sending them out to all the business owners in your town?

You’d probably design the postcard, take it to Staples for printing and waste an entire day, hand-address them, put stamps on one-by-one, pay for an expensive mailing list, and lug them all (sorted by zip code, of course) to the Post Office for mailing.

DON’T DO THAT!

Contact Jim for Business Consulting Services and he’ll show you how you can save ALL of your time and money! Again, he’s been doing these projects for years and has found streamlined ways of getting the job done without breaking the bank (or wasting his time).

If you’ve looked around the rest of the site, you can tell Jim wears many hats…figuratively, of course. But, one of his greatest strengths is working in a confined, precise area while still being effective.

Advertisements are necessary to keep any business afloat. Sure, word-of-mouth is the best form of advertisement for your company. Your customers will ultimately tell their friends and colleagues about the great service you’ve given them. But how do you make people become customers in the first place?

Jim is very aware of a vicious cycle young businesses fall into. You need to advertise because you need to get customers. You need money to advertise. To get money, you need customers! How can you break the cycle?

Newspaper advertisements get your message out to a large audience on a daily basis. However, newspaper ads are getting more expesive. Even in a small market like Wallingford, CT, a 1×2 inch black and white newspaper ad costs $60 a day! And that’s only if you commit to AT LEAST five days of ads! That’s $300 for an ad half the size of a Post-It Note. And in five days, it’s gone.

But, you can make that space work for you! You need to make your ad visible, effective, and say the things you need it to say! Jim can accomplish that in ANY size ad design.

Marketing Services

As Director of a Business and Real Estate Training School, Jim Fusco had to market his services to a wide audience- over 20,000 real estate agents in CT alone!

So, Jim honed his skills of writing ad copy and designing ads for newspapers and web work. Now, Jim’s using his knowledge of marketing to help other professionals reach their business goals by offering consulting services!

Jim has a saying he coined a couple years ago: “People won’t find out how great you are on their own- you have to SHOW them how great you are.” This cannot be more true than in business. People will always go with what they know. And if you’re entering the marketplace, you need to put yourself in front of their face with something that will grab their attention and engage them. Jim’s marketing services can help you accomplish that!
