RE: Steemit Music Creators Need Original Music Space #originalmusic
Hi @jessamynorchard,
I have created an initiative/curation pool to help combat this issue and to provide proper rewards for original content creators. You may have heard of @thirstyrecords.
This initiative has only been running for a few weeks but we're quickly picking up steem. Our goal is to eventually create a better looking music page where original content gets rewarded the most. As much as we like people sharing music or creating covers, it's not fair for musicians who put in the work to be rewarded less than those who do part of the work.
If you would like, you can help us moderate the #music page by curating original music when you see it and post it on the #thirsty-music-promotion chat channel. The more of us that help this initiative the better the rewards will become in the future. Feel free to come and discuss any ideas you think may help.
You can also use the #thirsty tag to post your original content.
P.s: @thirstyrecords is already sharing original studio quality releases here on Steemit. If you're readint his and want to here some profesisonal sounding productions from authors here on Steemit then go check out the page. You wont be disappointed.
@senseiteekay I'm excited about speaking with you further. Love and admire what I see happening @thirstyrecords and to help curate by sharing would be super fun.
I hope you can also encourage your audience to use originalmusic as a secondary or subsequent tag, so we increase the quality of curations everywhere. There's no reason this venue of Steemit shouldn't be the place for the future of indie music.
Thanks for your reply. I've since noticed that you're in the thirsty music chat channel, which is awesome. The more the merrier.
We have previously asked people to use that tag, along with a couple others. We will remind our audience in our next announcement that the tag is still active.
Our main problem, that we have found so far, is that musicians aren't formatting their posts as well as yours above. There's been a few original music posts that have been skipped by unnoticed. We have tried reiterating the importance of formatting posts but it's still taking time to resonate.
It would be nice to create a circle of musicians who're on the same page and who can help each other create a better music spot here on Steemit, for all genres of artist to feel comfortable living within.
