IMHO they key to long term success with a venue like this is continued growth within the non-performing members.


Wise words from a respected friend! I agree 100% ! Its really only the viewers who show up with cash for tokens, because the musicians get the whole package for free

That's where the social media comes in. Since most people are on one or more social sites, if the musicians join our page, the ads will go to all their friends... plus they can invite them personally. When you consider the way FB content gets propagated to anybody who's linked to anybody who's linked to anybody, the potential for making viewers aware starts to grow exponentially

Also the exposure from youtube won't hurt.

I spent the day looking at software that will make all of these presentations (bitconcert, youtube and facebook) look polished and professional and not just like the usual FB and youtube blurbs. The goal is to make our channel provide some eye candy to go with the main course.

A key player is BIAB, which is the best rapid development- royalty free platform for generating unique and exciting musical content for ads!
