I’ve just become a new member of the forum, and it’s quite clear that the forum is inactive, so I wanted to contribute at least a little bit. I thought about what I could do and decided to share one of the things I do most: coming up with ideas.
Music site is our main topic, but I want to add some visuals and ideas to the matter. First of all, which music genre you will prefer is up to you. The reason most people give up on starting a music site is copyright issues. The way to overcome this is simple, of course: soundcloud will handle our copyright problem. But how? Let me open the topic right away. soundcloud is a music site; you can think of it like YouTube. For example, if you’re going to put a video from YouTube on your site, you add it to your site via embed, which pulls from the video owner’s YouTube channel, so you don’t experience any copyright issues. If a video removal is requested, the company will contact the YouTube channel. soundcloud works the same way; we can take it as an embed and add it to our site. soundcloud is generally used by people who make remixes, meaning you can also upload remix music to your site. There are dozens of channels uploading music from Turkey as well; you can get an idea from them. It will be a serious project for you. You can add various Turkish or foreign remix songs to your site, or you can directly add the original versions of the songs. It’s completely up to you. A friend of mine used to upload his own remixes to this site and share them on Blogspot as well.
Now I want to introduce the idea a bit visually. For this, I found a sample WordPress theme. By looking at this theme, you can visualize it in your mind, and if you say “I can do this job,” you will do it. Just imagine.
Full name of the theme: Brooklyn Indie Band - Responsive Wordpress Theme
Of course, to open such a site, you must be good with music and have a music circle.
By the way, if you’re asking how to get the embed code, it’s very simple: Share>Embed Click to go to sample music.
This theme is an example. There are WordPress plugins available for soundcloud. soundcloud offers you the option to add songs to your site individually or as a list, and allows you to place them in a few different ways.
So, what would be the advantages of such a site? Most importantly, if someone likes your site, they will want to visit your site frequently during the day and check out the new music you’ve shared, and they will do this every day. This means you will have a loyal audience. If you start a social security inquiry site, a person who enters your site will not enter again unless they need it. This will be your biggest advantage. Your audience will increase day by day. Who knows, you might suddenly become a very popular music site. If you’re asking how you’ll earn money, besides Adsense revenues, if you get a lot of traffic, you can get advertisements from different music producers.
Continuously improve your site, add additional features to keep people on your site. Also, you can open a blog section and add articles.
My recommendations: Pay a lot of attention to your Facebook page. You can attract people to your site by sharing the new music lists you add on your Facebook page.
If you have knowledge about preparing remixes, you can also include your own remixes.
When opening your site, don’t think of it as a serious company but as a member of the entertainment world, and get a domain accordingly. If you get a generic name, it’s not a minus for you, but it’s not a plus either. For example, by generic name, I mean something like hitmüzikler.com. If you’re having trouble finding a domain, you can get a domain with Turkish characters; you just can’t get an email like isim@domain.com.
I could keep opening this topic as much as I want; it won’t fit on pages, so I want to leave it here. If it interested you, comment, and I can continue to give you advice.
(Wow, I wrote so much, I just realized, yet I still have so many things to tell :D)
