i am very relieved to see that mp3unsigned has managed to overcome whatever issues it was having at the the weekend resulting in me not being able to access the site. unlucky for me it timed perfectly with me posting a link to the page on the sound on sound forum so it also meant no one from there could view it either. but thankfully normality has now returned.
my musical sketch pad being offline was a direct threat on my drip drip way of living and i actually found that kinda scary.
my drip drip lifestyle is almost entirely inspired from reading a blog by seth godin, a marketing expert from the states. its based on the idea that things need to be built upon solid foundations. these take time to build but once they are there....
it is possible to grab peoples attention with one brilliant performance, with one great track, but if you consistently perform solid sets, regularly release good music and keep your site updated with new and current info then you will go beyond grabbing peoples attention and they will become fans. they will recognise who you are and will trust you when you deliver something new because you have demonstrated consistency.
you need to give your audience the attention you expect them to give you. i have been blogging here for a few months now. i dont really promote the blog and someone once asked me why i bother to post with apparently no readers. a few weeks ago i saw that someone had been reading my blogs and had taken the time to respond to the post with a comment. proof perhaps that the drip drip lifestyle pays off.
my musical sketch pad, this blog and my butterscotch world profile are part of the drip drip lifestyle, fighting the notion that something that doesnt gain instant recognition should be abandoned in favour of instant gratification.
