Next 3 years!

Good Day Everyone!!! So I hooked up with Poze for a minute and everything was good then something went wrong and now I'm rethinking the next 3 years of my musical career... Reverbnation has been great but I pay $20 a month for digital download on places like Itunes and what not and have made $0 for this price I also get almost unlimited space for songs so that everyone can hear what I have made with out buying a thing so again $0 they use to have fair share and a charity program for us that allowed us to offer a way for people to download a song and part would go to the artist and the rest to a charity of our choice and fair share made us money simply by fans checking out the page, I actually made money at these now their gone. So more negitives! I also have an app on android so people can check me out direct from their phones "awesome!" But again that don't help me pay the bill of the service. My favorite thing was I use to have a store as well where i could buy and sell CD's, shirts, hats, mugs and what not which I did make money at, but now thats gone... Poze is great cause I get to be on their online radio station and local tv show, but in the end they just want more and more money, money I don't have... So I'm thinkin it's time for another change one that benifits me more. Over the past 4 years I've offered alot of things for free music and song writing although I loved give myself away I think it is time that ended I start thinking about making money. Curently I don't even have mixing board to record my next 2 albums so yeah... So I'm looking into CD Baby which will give me back my ability to order CD's to sell at shows and it offers me digital distrubution for FREE!!! Then theres Zazzle which gives me back my ability to make shirts, hats and what not for FREE!!! Then I've got youtube for video which is where everyone is anyhow... So first thing first I'm gonna re-release my first album Darkness & Light with 4 bonus tracks Grandma Jane being one of them. Then I'm gonna re-write my self help book A Light in The Darkness with 4 to 5 extra sections in it and see if I can't make it a none for profit thing so I can get funding to get copy's of it and the ability back to re-make the album of the same with 4 to 5 more tracks on it to give away to those in need of it's lessons "I'm really hoping to hook up with NAMI on this one ;) get me some pros on it" And then I'm looking at Band Camp as well, we will see on that one their format is a bit confusing... On top of all that I will still also be releasing my action drama comic style book Interrobang with in the next 2 years. So there you have it let me know what you think... As always Stay Safe Everyone!!!

POZE & Reverbnation!

So I said to hell with it and kept my Reverbnation and got into POZE heres to a better more productive New Year!

Pro No More

Good Day Everyone!!! I'm sad to say that I will be stopping my pro membership with Reverbnation this year due to one big change they made they got rid of our stores making my physical copys of CD's and mech unavalible which pretty much makes the whole pro thing useless to me no CD's means no pay selling anything online is well a waste and I do not have money to waste. So as of January 1 I will be offering all my tracks for free download if there is a song you really like of mine please take a moment to download it cause as of Febuary 1 it my no longer be avalible to listen to on here. Why? Well cause paying for pro membership allowed me more song space and once its gone I say there will be maybe half my work on here. Also getting rid of pro means no more mobile app so those of you that listen to me on your phones will no longer be able to hear all of my work, it also mean I will no longer be featured on sites such as Itunes and other music sites. But I'm happy to say I will be putting that money elsewhere like with Poze where I will be expozed more in my area on Chicago tv stations and on a few online radio stations. I'll still be here on Reverb but I think it is time for a change they have changed and now so may I. So there you have it... Stay Safe Everyone!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Take care everyone ;)
