Triplestrand Productions We Make It Happen For YOU airplay.html

We’re going to be adding something new here at TSP (again), so I thought I’d give you the heads up in case any of our present artists might be interested. Derek and I are going to start both a syndicated show and radio promotion cd for Folk music (including all forms from around the world). So submissions for the show will work the same as always, we’ll need a broadcast release signed and the song sent via hi-fi (128 kbps or higher) mp3 to either my email at ddsj84@yahoo.com or Derek’s email at derek_mccorkell@yahoo.com

We look forward to this expansion of our capabilities to help artists and let me know if any of you are interested in this venture.

Hi , Everyone knows that today's economy worldwide kinda sucks, right ? Everyone is finding it hard to meet the bills and keep going. Well this hurts everybody ( unless you're a fat cat with a big conglomerate) most of us the every day Joe on the street knows all too well just how much the cost of just getting by has spiralled upwards. Leaving any of us with precious little to invest in our music.

So in an effort to help alleviate things a little we here at Triplestrand have been putting our heads together and have come up with something that really might help you get your music out there.And it won't cost you a dime, not a red cent, in fact it really could save you money and make you money at the same time.( We've heard that before ) I hear you say, but read on and you'll see exactly what I mean.

As Musicians in order to sell our music we need to promote it right ? Well as you know the cost of getting your track on to one of our Radio Promotions CD's is $75 a track , probably amongst the lowest track fees out there at present. But how would you like to save at least $25 on that price, or even $50 off it or what the heck get it for absolutely NOTHING AT ALL ? Yes I'm serious here with our idea you could easily get your tracks out there to Radio for absolutely nothing. There has to be a catch ? you ask. No , No catches, no tricks just plain incentive marketing.

Here's what we propose. You are a musician correct ? You move in circles where other musicians cross your path . Still with me ? Good, Well you and these other musicians get chatty, of course they play Country or Americana music too, and like you they are looking to get heard , hoping to boost sales of that great new CD they just pressed, but their fanbase is just too small . You mention that you get your music heard on AM / FM radio all over the world using our services and Radio Promotions CDs .They look puzzled so you direct them to us here at Triplestrand . And for your dilligence and effort we reward you with $25 off your next release with us for every accepted track that comes from an Artist that you direct our way. So if you sent 2 artists and both placed a track on our Radio Promotions CDs then you'd get $50 off your next release if you sent 3 Artists our way and all three put tracks out on our Radio Promotions CDs you get $75 off or in essence your next Release with us goes out absolutely free.But remember If you send an Artist our way and they don't get a track accepted on a Radio Promotions CD you get nothing you only get the $25 if they put out a track undestand ? It's a bit like a co-operative you help us and in turn we help you its a win win situation.

So if you send someone our way be sure to tell them to tell us who sent them that way if they put out a track you'll get credited for your part in getting them to us.

Hi all , your friendly neighborhood Ageing Rocker again, this week my review is not as usual a CD or Artist but a website that I personally perceive being of great use to Artists Indie or otherwise and irrespective of Genre.

Have you a CD or single’s even Mp3’s for sale ? Got merchandise you’d like to place before the public ? but wait , you don’t have a shopfront on your website , how remiss of you. LOL Shop fronts and shopping carts are pretty plentiful on the net you got lots to choose from but do you know of one that allows you to sell your products and let you keep the profits ? Yes you read right sell your stuff and keep what you get. There has to be a catch I hear you say ? If there is folks I sure ain’t found it .

The site in question is called myfavoriteband.com and it’s jam packed with features you’ll love, you can sell virtually anything here , CD’s, Mp3 Downloads, Shirts, Mugs, Hats heck whatever you got and it’s free if you wanna do all the work yourself like uploading your tracks . shipping your CD & merchandise if you do it all yourself it’s totally free with unlimited track and merchandise uploads heck they even make the preview clips of your tracks for you and you know what it looks great too. Everything is customizable to look like your site and you can even use their inline iframe system to incorporate the whole store right into your existing website. Ok you gotta be a little Computer savvy to do this but rocket science it ain’t.

But if you feel this is beyond you help is at hand for only a mere $12.99 a month myfavoriteband will do it all for you now that’s a deal.

But don’t take my word for it go there check it out for yourself heck here’s a store I built for my stuff ( http://www.tspmp3.com/derek/store.html ) and believe me I ain’t no computer genius LOL far from it .

From an Indie Artists point of view this website does what a lot of us have been looking for, for years they’ve only recently launched their services so I say go check it out http://www.myfavoriteband.com that’s my pick for the week guys and it don’t get any better .

If you do why not Advertise it on our sites either on our specifically designed sales Kiosk's or as a listing on our site at U-Ni-Que-Music.Com a site that we have designed specifically for Independent Artists to let the world know where to buy their CD's after all if people don't know you have one for sale they can't buy it now can they ? It does not matter WHERE you have it for sale just supply us with the appropriate link and the cover art and we will direct your potential customers to it . Remember WE DON'T SELL IT FOR YOU we just point visitors to where YOU SELL IT.All we ask for this service is $5.00 per month no minimum time limit or no maximum time limit all we can say is there is discount for extended periods ( anything over 3 months) the rate drops to $4.00 per month. If you don't want a banner ad why not a text link on our classfieds page at U-Ni-Que-Music.com at ONLY $2.50 per month thats more than affordable for most of us. Remember the key to sales these days lies in Advertising heck why do you think the Major Labels spend so much of their budget doing just that. Contact Derek at derek_mccorkell@yahoo.com and lets get your CD sales moving for you.

CHECK OUT OUR ADVERTISING OPTIONS, THEY'RE STARTING TO PULL IN SALES FOR THE ARTISTS INVOLVED FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!!

VIDEO PRESENTATIONS BY SONG, OR BY ALBUM--THE COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SELL YOUR MUSIC ON POPULAR VIDEO SITES LIKE UTUBE, MYSPACE TV,GOOGLE VIDEO,YAHOO VIDEO, METACAFE, GODTUBE AND TOO MANY MORE TO MENTION. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SAMPLES OF WHAT WE'VE ALREADY SPREAD TO LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF SITES AROUND THE GLOBE

Ok gang, heres the latest news. We're still looking for songs that you'd like to start the year off with for our compilations, (Country, Country Christian, Country Cover and Americana) The djs have been very good to us this year, so it's time to keep the momentum going with new releases. They've also requested that I start sending them some INSTRUMENTALS (original ones preferably) So talk to all the instrumentalists you know, and get them to submit them to me. They use them throughout the show, but mainly coming up to breaks for the news, etc and yes the DO mention who is the composer--so it's a great way to break into demo and studio work.

We've started actively soliciting sponsors for individual shows for our syndicated shows, so if you know people that might like to get advertising on one of the most popular syndicated country music radio programs, send them my way at ddsj84@yahoo.com We're charging a whole 3 bucks a month for sponsorship for the show--so a year's campaign for an internet based business will only cost $150 and we'll send sales their way from all over the world. Artists aren't allowed to sponser a show, it'd look like pay for play although you know that's not true, but businesses are welcome. So talk to your hometown businesses that sell on the web and if they're interested, send them along. We're asking for sponsors in an attempt to grow to even more US stations. That bit of money will help us with the expense of what would be necessary (phone calls etc) to contact those stations. So send your supporters our way.

Starting the commencement of Tsp's weekly Country Christian Show, featuring The Best In Independent Christian Country Music, The show will air on Tspmp3.Com the home of our already popular and successful Contemporary Christian Music Show " True Spirit Powered Radio " and like that show the Country Show will be hosted by Derek McCorkell . Submissions for inclusion on the Country Show are of course welcomed and should be directed towards Derek at derek_mccorkell@yahoo.com . All songs MUST BE ORIGINAL IN CONTENT & good quality recordings ( NO BATHROOM TAKES PLEASE ) So please join us EVERY WEEKEND at True Spirit Powered Radio ( THe Country Show)

Starting last week, songs that have reached the end of their run and are getting airplay on less than 10 stations per week will now be lumped into a category for each of you artists titled "Previously released Singles". This is an attempt to promote you in your best light, because we don't want the casual viewer (or not so casual viewer (labels, etc) who've stumbled on the site to think a song didn't do well simply because it's come to the end of a long and fruitful run out there on the airwaves, some songs for as long as 5 years. Also, this will put more focus on your most recent releases for anybody viewing them. Take care, and any questions, just drop me an email.

For those of you that missed the email, we now have a new service for you artists, so I'll repeat the email here. Most of you have websites, MySpace pages, etc. And we all know the popularity of UTube and how it's an easy way to reach thousands of people at once. The one thing they all have in common is video capabilities. With the advent of shows like MTV and now GAC TV, we as artists have a new 'venue' in which to reach out and build our fan base.

If you had money or backers, what does the typical Major artist do when they release a new single? Make a video to go with it and blast that area of the media with the video as well as reaching the various types of radio possibilities with the single. But as we all know, those videos COST and big time!! Derek and I have an alternative to that, which should fit into most everyone's budgets--video showcases. Instead of having the typical artist video shot at a studio specializing in such work, we take your song and add royalty free images (meaning you can use these videos ANYWHERE and anyhow you'd like) which match the storyline of your song and create the 'video'. Or some artists may simply wish to use still photographs of them and their band taken at venues during performances, etc.--to showcase the band and give themselves 'visual' recognition with their fans as well as the vocal recognition they're building up through airplay.

The cost?? It's not a complicated thing to do if you're used to working with graphic design and websites, etc. but it IS time consuming, so yes we'll have to charge for it. We're giving our own artists a discount and offering to do each video showcase for $50. Artists outside our group will be charged a flat hourly rate. Turn-around can be quick, a day or two, but availability will depend upon our waiting list (first come first served basis)

We've already done several for our own artists in the last few days and you can take a peek at those by heading to the video link on the front page and clicking on it to see the samples.

Those we've posted on over a dozen sites for those artist which got involved are already on hundreds of sites around the globe, having been picked up and spread because we make them embedable, so you can embed them on your own site, etc. It's an easy way to sell your music on sites that don't SELL music, only show videos LOL So if you like what you see, don't hesitate to drop us a line and we'll get started on yours today.
