Hello, Peter. :) 

 

This is a fine site to be on. 

 

Could you tell us a little about yourself? Perhaps post a link to one of your songs? ;)

Hi Peter, welcome.

 

I've removed your website link because new members can't promote their websites I'm afraid - we get so many spammers trying to bother our community. I hope you understand.

 

Donna above asks if you can supply a link to one of your songs. I'd prefer to within introducing yourself, to read what you have to say, then if you have a finished song on soundcloud or youtube, you could post it within Showcase. Up to you :yes:

 

Anyway, please look around, get the feel of the community, check the rules and guidelines for how things work :)

Hi Donna and justsoulin,

 

It's great to be here (as mentioned) and it looks like I'll get familiar with the guidelines - sorry about the previous link justsoulin.  I didn't mean any harm with it, but nonetheless, its totally understood.  There may be a lot of fly by night folks who may come and go, etc..,  I do have some songs online (mostly covers at the time being), and I'll take a look at "Showcase" and see how to post these appropriately.

 

A little bit about myself - I've been playing guitar most of my life off and on.  I'm in my 40s now, and I started with Heavy Metal music when I was a teen.  I thought shredding guitar leads was the funnest thing in the world.  These days, I've milded down greatly to mostly acoustic guitar also coupled with singing.  I get a lot of enjoyment out of it especially covering classic rock tunes in a different unique way.  I also started my hand at writing songs, which honestly, I could use a little help on, but I do enjoy even more.

 

Its great to be here and I look forward to being a part of the singer songwriter community. :)

 

Cheers!

-Peter

Thanks again Justin!  I took a look around the forums and I really like the way its formatted (and the feel of the forums).  There are appropriate places for critiques, showcasing (as you had mentioned), and other advice / collaborations.

Hey Peter, welcome aboard. :) btw I saw your site before the link was removed... I thought I would offer some comment if that is ok?

I have to say, while the principles you have applied from internet marketing are valid.. They are way too obvious. Music demands a large helping of cool. It also commonly rejects overt money making apart from a few genres where bling is the thing, even then that is more about image than actually making money.

Your site and it stands suffers from a number of issues. It tells too little of you the artist. The imagery is stock internet marketing of a few years ago, with no thought to the presentation of your artist image.

Your freebie give away is a good idea, but wrapped up and presented and is, it seems more a cheap give away to get an email address. While your purpose is valid the approach will lose you kudos.

One thing we do here on Songstuff is to help on marketing and promotion. Luckily you have the mechanisms in place, you just need to rethink the purist internet marketer approach and use the internet marketer knowledge in more clever and creative way and focus on unleashing your creativity on your presentation and image skills.

Just my two cents :)

John,

 

Thanks for the welcome and for the feedback - I think you do have some valid concerns in regards to the template that I chose in my previous link.  You are correct that although I'm not really selling anything (which I'm really not), what my intentions are to provide a free track in trade for someone to sign up for a fan mailing list.  Actually, its quite innocent, but I think the approach I took may have appeared with different intentions.

 

I noticed in your signature that you provide a similar link - but in a more genuine fashion.  Its so much more classy with an air of honesty.  This really does help act as a benchmark, as I would like to ask if your page is based off of a template that you wouldn't mind sharing?  I think I would like to reshape my page.

 

Thanks again and looking forward to hearing back.

 

-Peter
