the good news is that many musicians are interested in the updates i have posted on my twitter and facebook -- i reckon i have bought in around 5 to 8 so far but another 200 have shown some interest -- the problem is the lack of support shown to people who produce original music here and i can't lie and tell them that you get a lot of views or fans.. something needs to shift to expand the type of posts getting upvoted -- i suggest talking about it openly and suggesting that members here make a real effort to upvote the good artist content that comes -- stop upvoting rubbish and pretty girls and think about the advantages of having popular musicians and artists coming onto steemit. Have a look back at my paintings posts and music posts and you can see that unless i buy upvotes from randowhale and minnowbooster ,there is a shameful lack of support shown. I don't mind as i can see when i grow more followers that the situation will gradually improve and i am willing to so it the hard way --but most people want instant gratification and we can get that on youtube with hundreds or thousands of views for most original songs ,even without subscribers

For all of you doing music - you need to be posting with SEO strength. See @infobunny for help. He posts really good help on this matter. I need to study up too on how to do the posts right here. A non-optimized post will not help much, but a well-optimized post will take over google search. This is an outlet a musician dreams of, but the audience is not here - they audience is google searchers.
If your musicians post a video, they also need to include 300-500 words of text that is seo optimized. This is a hurdle. But those who do it right will rank on google just where they want to rank. The Alexa score here blows anything else out. But I see a lot of videos here with just the video and one sentence maybe.
So for example, if the musician plays folk music in TN and does weddings and pig roasts - put all that in there. If they have a show coming up - post here for the ranking. Once they've done a few posts like that - they will own music searches in their area.
At least post about daily life and music related info - maybe "how to" stuff if they teach. Do the seo right. Keyword the type of music and the location and the band name.
The steemers are not the target for the music itself. This is only the platform. The music lovers are out there somewhere and you can get them with the posts.
well thought out and a great idea that i hadn't even considered
