HEY NOYD..Where's my apology?
Free Great Content meets Great Free Promotion
If you are a professional content creator you can harness the power of FrostClick.com and FrostWire's massive worldwide P2P community to promote your work absolutely for free.
What can be promoted?
We can promote music, video, film, photography, video games, eBooks, software, and other forms of digital content. Basically any type of content that can be shared digitally over the P2P network using FrostWire/BitTorrent will get it's chance.
What are the rules?
The project is still in it's infancy, so the rules might change as we go, but as of now here is the drill...
- You must own the rights to the content
- All content must be legal
- All content must be free (and licensed under Creative Commons)
- All content must be clean (there's a lot of kids in the community!)
- Only Professional Quality or Mind Blowing content will be accepted
Music Submission Rules
There's a lot of demand for music promotion - we'll only promote the best we can find. These are the rules:
- You need to have at least one professionally produced album (with at least 5 songs)
- All songs should be 'radio/clean' versions
- You need to have a high resolution image of your album cover and some promotional photographs (preferably on a white background to blend with the FrostWire welcome screen)
- You need to have a simple text document with your bio and album info
- All music submitted for promotion on FrostWire needs to be covered by a Creative Commons or similar license
- Your music should be available online for us to review it (Website, BandCamp, Jamendo, Archive.org or other)
- Lyrics and/or Guitar Tabs will make it as great attachments to your submission, your fans will love you more for this
Pluses
We will try to help those who take their work seriously and have a real passion for music. Any of these can get you ahead in the race:
- The more EPs or Albums you've produced the better
- You have one or more music videos available online
- You have a Twitter account to help with your promotion efforts

- You've already distributed your music via BitTorrent
- You've been or you are performing on tour
- There's a Wikipedia entry about you or your work
- You've won contests or awards
- You have performed with a famous artist
- You've been covered by a respectable publication (magazine, newspaper, blog, tv show)
- You're quick to respond over email you can follow instructions
Promotion is Free, as in "Free Beer"
As of December 2008, this service is absolutely free.
Submitting your content won't guarantee that you'll be promoted
Given the great amount of submissions we are currently receiving, only a fraction of them will make it to the FrostWire welcome screen. Nevertheless, we will do our best to feature your content on FrostClick.com. If your post on FrostClick.com gets an extreme amount of attention, we might reconsider your submission and place it on the FrostWire welcome screen at a later time.
What You Get
If you are accepted you'll be on the FrostWire Welcome screen for at least 3 days. If your download numbers are skyrocketing, you'll get to stay for longer. If the community is not feeling you, we'll take you out. There is a long list of content creators waiting to be promoted.
Once your content has been seeded in tens of thousands of computers, it will also be available to the Gnutella network (millions of users) for keyword based search.
