How to make a wad of cash!!!


All you have to do is follow these relatively simple instructions and you can make yourself some serious cash!!!

First of all you have to be quick if you want to make any money from this but here is how I am supposing you can increase your bank. The idea..... a club remix of the classic Van Halen song "Jump". Club remixes of classic hit songs are where its at these days and are an easy way to pretty much guarantee instant success and major play in clubs and radio stations everywhere.

The good thing about a club remix of a "classic" hit song is you have a pretty big audience, the younger kids will love it if you do it right with a "now" sound and the older people will also love it as it reminds them of simpler times when they were younger and carefree.

If you listen to the song, it now sounds kool again and matches the current trend of electro/80's/synth which has crept back into popular mainstream dance, pop, hip hop, alternative music and fashion. You could pretty much just re-release the song and it would do pretty well but that is not the way of the dance remix. Here's how you do it so its banging in the club and gets you your stack of cash.

1) The the heart of this new remix and the key to its success is the very start of the song. The synth driven part is what will make it popular.

2) You leave out all the original words except for the main chorus part of "Jump, you might as well jump" "Jump, go ahead and Jump". But really emphasise the words "Jump" and maybe loop them continuously for a bit in the fashion of "California Dreamin'" remix by the Royal Gigolos or "Sunny" by the Boogie Pimps.

3) You give it a solid bass line and a "new" sounding beat. Maybe throw in a "Benni Benassi - Satisfaction" sounding loop in the parts between the synth of Van Halen's "Jump" bit.

4) You market it right. It's all about the image. You make a film clip that is different but similar, you make the clip funny, risque', and "now".... It's all about making the viewer FEEL something. You get it out there to all good radio stations and the right clubs which are always looking for the next big song to play.

5) NOW all you have to do is sit back and watch your bank grow beyond your wildest dreams and expectations.
