In 2018 sales of CD music fell to one third of where they were in 2017. Vinyl has been making a comeback but now sales are starting to plateau.
My Thursday show - Wake Up With The Classics, is the hardest show in the week for me to promote but things are going up. Yesterday there were listeners in GERMANY-FRANCE-UK-USA-THAILAND-CANADA-HUNGARY = 8
countries. The podcast is HERE
Playing music on the radio is SO EASY - honestly it is. However, as I have been developing my work with CRMK I have been neglecting other areas where our music needs to be played.
I am now working to re-establish our blog, yesterday the
page attracted 62 readers, way down on where it used to be but once friends find it again as regular feature it will rise to former levels. The blog has now been running for two years, how long before total readership passes the 100,000 mark ?
Today I will start work on rewriting the website.
That leaves the music on YouTube.
Our YouTube channel is working but way under potential.
To take music into the community we need just one thing - PEOPLE.
Our music fan club has of this morning has 254 members.
So that's where the music stands right now.
On YESTERDAY'S BLOG I shared ambitions for the music. NOBODY stepped forward to volunteer for the positions we need to fill.
On Sunday 13th January we have planned a brainstorming meeting to work out the ideas I tried to share on yesterday's blog - to take our music to a higher level - to MAKE PEOPLE SMILE, BE HAPPY AND INSPIRE SUPPORT FOR GOOD
CAUSES.
If we try at that meeting to force my suggestions into reality one thing is certain - WE WILL FAIL !
But FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
So.......................
FIRST THING TO DO - we need to significantly increase the number of members in the FAN CLUB.
Are you a MEMBER ?
We need ALL members to invite new members. We need to
reach 1,000 members asap, then move up on a daily basis to ???????? Ten Thousand ? One Hundred Thousand ? A Million ? Why not ?
Lisa and Paul are doing a great job promoting our music across social media but right now I am the ONLY person posing anything on The Geriatric DJ Facebook Page.
That has got to stop !
WHY should anyone become a member if there is nothing there beyond a monologue from me ?
We need members to post anything about music, their likes, suggestions for people to listen to, news............ANYTHING.
We then need GOOD CAUSES to post their news.
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION SO LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN.....
Let's increase the membership.
Let's get people posting.
Let's outwork our mission to MAKE PEOPLE SMILE, BE HAPPY AND INSPIRE SUPPORT FOR GOOD CAUSES
