Hey John,

thanks for all your advice above.

Question for you.

I'm going to be giving away two songs free. If I am releasing a music video, and assuming that it is successful, do you suggest giving away that specific song plus another one on the album or keeping that one for sales only and giving out two other songs from the album?

I'm asking because originally I was planning on giving away the music video song plus another but if it's my strongest song, maybe hold it back?

Please advise

thanks

  

Hi Michael,

My apologies for the slow reply. I've been away for the last 10 days and had minimal access to internet.

I would always lead with your strongest material. We only get one chance to make a first impression. If you create a connection with your subscribers they will buy in the hopes of finding more music that makes them feel the same way the free song(s) do. So in short, I would include the song you have made the video for in your free offer.

Best of luck!

Hey Emeric,

Good to have you back.

I agree that the site could be improved. That looks to be the theme from MMM 3.0. There is a newer updated theme in MMM 4.0 that allows for much easier customization. I think that would improve things a lot.

The biggest thing that stood out to me about the store was that there was no way to buy music. Only merch. And my whole model is built around sales rather than streaming. 

I didn't see the duplicating issue you mentioned but I do see text overlapping the merch in a way that is a little hard on the eyes.

Let me know how I might be able to help.
