1. Write a song and post it.

2. wait for half a dozen comments.

3. reply to 3 individually on the first day, so it seems like you're really making an effort to reply to everyone but just ran out of time.

4. resist the urge to reply to the next ONE until the next day

5. reply individually to a few more the next day

6. reply to one per day or every other day as needed to "bump" the song back to page 1.

7. repeat step 6 until it's obvious what you're doing can no longer bump the song.

Hopefully by now, you're working on another song. Post on a Friday so there's all weekend to pick up new posts..... now.... do it all over again....

Is that what you're talking about Eddie?


YUP!!! When I look at a post and literally every other reply is from the songwriter, that is obviously just to keep it at the top of the page. Let's be fair here. Songs run their course. Move on and write another one.

Wait a week after the original posting then post ONE reply thanking everybody for their feedback and move on to the next song. If the song is memorable, people will bookmark it and go back to listen again and again. If you feel the need to thank everyone individually do it in PMs.
