Monthly Update - September Edition

Hello everyone, I know it has been quite some time since my last post and I appologize. However, there is good reason! Recently I have had my hands full with a bunch of new ideas I have started to put in motion. My main focus currently is starting a bi-weekly or monthly series of video interviews with RAI connected bands and artists. These will be feature here and on youtube. I believe this is a step in the right direction and will offer a really unique way for people to really learn about the bands/artists music.

Pretty soon I will be doing an overhaul of my amazon.com aStore. I want to include as many artists as possible into that. For those of you that do not know what an aStore is, it is basically a simple and easy to use place within this site that will allow visitors to purchase your music and albums, both as MP3, or as a physical EP.

I will also be making a push for all RAI connected artists to get their music on Last.fm . As some of you may know I feature a last.fm radio player on the left hand side of the site. I believe Last.fm opens your music up to a wide variety of listeners that would not have found your tracks otherwise.

Well that's the most recent stuff I have going for RAI. I'm still working on getting enough money to start the Recording Studio! I Can't wait to really start that project! It should be fun!

OH! And don't forget to join RAI's facebook group!

About RAI

What is RAI?

RAI stands for Rising Artists International. Rising Artists International is a fresh, new avenue for Musicians to be Heard, and for Music Lovers to hear some new Music. Offering Gratis Publicity, RAI is actively involved in Supporting Independent Music from many places in the industry. Whether You are an Up-and-Coming Artist, or a Veteran who's looking for some New Exposure, RAI definitely has a place for You. And with the Many Artists already a part of RAI, any Musically-Enamoured Person can find some Interesting new Tracks to hear, and (at least a few) to Love.

You don't have to be an indie artist to become a part of RAI, or even an artist. Fans of all sort are welcome to a part of RAI. RAI is a group community of Artists, Fans, Labels, and Average Listeners.


RAI's Mission:

Here at RAI it is our mission to provide free premium promotion for bands and artists. We understand that less then 2% of all bands can actually make a living off their music. We understand how hard it is to really get your music out there. RAI is here to help. We offer a wide range of free services to help share your music with the world, all of which will be explained later.



What Qualifies As An Artist?

In simplest terms:

• Bands


• DJs


• Record Companies


• Record Labels


• Recording Studios


• Singers


• Guitarists


• Sound Supervisors


• Sound Engineers


• Recording Artists


• Managers


• Digital Artists


• Collaborations


• Any musical Artist (If you think you are then you are)

What are the services RAI currently offers?

RAI provides a new avenue for artists to present their music and really be Heard. There is a difference between one who hears your music and one who really listens to your music. Here at RAI we garuntee that you will gain some new listeners.

The main service RAI offers to newly connected artists in the feature article on the main page. That will bring the most traffic to the artists website and hopefully the most benefit to the artists as well.

RAI also has an online aStore supported by Amazon.com . If an artists music can be found on Amazon.com then their music can be purchased on RAI's aStore. The artist will recieve the same amount of royalties if purchased outside RAI's aStore.

RAI has profiles on many existing social networks including facebook, last.fm, youtube, myspace, purevolume, soundclick, tumblr, ning, SoundCloud, playlist.com, and many more. Upon joining RAI a link to your website and a description of you and your music will be posted on EVERY RAI profile across the net giving the artist complete global promotion.

What services will RAI offer in the future?

RAI is currently working on a HUGE expansion project that will help provide even greater promotional oppertunities to connected artists. Here are some of the projects RAI is currently undergoing:

• RAI partnership with iTunes (Allowing visitors to purchase music directly from the main website - all money goes to the artist)


• RAI social network provided by Ning.com (Allowing artists and fans alike to share their music, opinions and expertise about music and the industry, creating a unique environment between fans and artists)


• RAI Recording Studio and HeadQuarters (Scheduled to finish construction in 2015, creating a wide range of oppertunities including album releases featuring the best of RAI's connected artists and more)


• RAI Records in corperation with Geist Records and Geist Inc. (RAI records will soon be a side project for Geist Inc. and work along side Geist Records to provide a low costing recording studio for up-and-comming bands and artists)

RAI's Official Online Radio by Last.fm

If your music is on last.fm and your not connected to RAI yet, then boy you better get to it. RAI just keeps on offering some really awesome free stuff for upcoming bands and artists! The most recent is the aStore, where people can purchase connected artists' tracks, albums, and merchandise. The aStore can be found at the bottom of this blog or HERE!

Previously, one month ago to be exact, RAI set up an online radio with last.fm, the leading free music streaming site in the world. The online radio features artists connected to RAI and similar artists to those already connected. If you are an artists and are either not yet connected with RAI or do not have a last.fm account, I highley suggest you get on that. With the new last.fm radio widget being displayed currently at the top left of this page it is easier and easier for others to listen to your music. AND that's not even the best part.... *drumroll* ... You get paid royalties for letting last.fm play your songs online! And guess what... every play on RAI's new widget gets you even more royalties. So there's no reason to not sign up with RAI and last.fm . And be sure to join RAI's last.fm group here!

Enjoy!

OH! Did I also mention that with a new widget by Amazon.com your music can also be featured ON-Demand in the sidebar! With this Widget your music can actually be purchased in full! Again this service is completely free to take advantage of.

RAI's Online Store Provided by Amazon.com

Click Here! To View RAI's Online Store!!

That's right! Rising Artists Int. has it's own dedicated online store where you can purchase anything from MP3 downloads to full albums, from band merchandise to books, from musical instruments to music software! Everything purchased at the online store goes directly to the Artist you purchased from. So support the artists and check out RAI's official Online Store.

A MESSAGE TO ALL CONNECTED ARTISTS AND FUTURE CONNECTED ARTISTS:

Please let me know if any of your songs, albums, merchandise is available for purchase on Amazon.com . As soon as possible I will add your products to the online store so your stuff can be featured on RAI's store. You make the same amount per sale on RAI's store as you would on the regular Amazon.com website. You will also get a specifically targeted group of viewers seeing your music, as opposed to a random viewer thanks to Amazon.com's search engine. If you need to contact me, my personal E-mail is Geistsoul13@gmail.com .

UPDATE: I have recently discovered that it is extremely difficult to get your albums on amazon.com if you are unsigned or new to the business. BUT!! I have found a somewhat easy way to go about publishing yourself on amazon for Free. You'll want to check out the website www.createspace.com . It is a partner of Amazon.com and is all about self-publishing. Within the next 2 to 3 days I'll be posting an article about how to go about signing up for CreateSpace and how to eventually get your songs, albums, and merchandise on Amazon.com . At no cost to you. CreatSpace does it all.

.Artist Top-Level Domain

I have recently discovered a movement sweeping the internet community and this movement is trying to make the domain .Artist a top-level domain for any artist or musician to use. Here are some snippets from the movements main website http://artisttld.com/ :

"

What is .Artist

.Artist is the new Top Level Domain for Artists of all disciplines. Soon, in addition to popular TLDs like .com, .net, and .us, you’ll be able to register .artist domains. What does this mean? It means that all sorts of cool websites will be popping up on the internet of tomorrow like www.tattoo.artist, www.milesdavis.artist, www.atmosphere.artist, and more! Imagine the possibilities!

The .Artist Philosophy

More than just a name, .Artist is a philosophy where community is the core value. We believe in communities supporting communities, so we will be donating a percentage of our yearly proceeds to organizations who help young aspiring artists both home and abroad.

The .Artist TLD is operated by Sero Registry. Sero Registry is operated by Sero International LLC, a Minnesota Limited Liability Company. For more information about Sero Registry, go to http://www.serointl.com/ . You can also follow Sero Registry on twitter @ http://twitter.com/SeroRegistry .

The Week of The Artist!

There has been a recent influx of artists and bands interested in what RAI has to offer. Which is awesome! I'm here to announce that next week starting Monday, August 17th a new artist/band will be featured on the site everyday until Friday, August 21st. Each artist/band has some great music to contribute to the industry and I highley recommend checking each of them out. If you want a sneak peak at the artists being featured during the upcoming week here is the list:

CBC --------------------------------- LA
Twin Beat Productions -------------- Georgia
Sunil Patil --------------------------- India
Inner City Elegance ----------------- Canada
Phat Records Music ----------------- Sydney

As you can see RAI stretches all over the globe and truely provides the featured artist with complete global exposure and promotion. Behold the power of the internet.

The "Who Knows" Factor

So your band finally played a few gigs, so you uploaded a video on youtube, so you DJ'd your first party, so recorded your first track... Now what? And wait, why did I do all that in the first place? The simple answer is to get your name out there for people to see. But how exactly does this help your musical career? "Who Knows", the experience is different for each person/band. That is the beauty of the "Who Knows" factor. For those still wondering exactly what that is, it is a catchy way of saying that you never know what something you do could bring, you never know who will watch your videos, who will listen to your songs on myspace, and more importantly who will read your article on this website. If you never expose yourself to the rest of the world you can NEVER accomplish your musical dreams. Rising Artists Int. is here to help you accomplish your musical dreams.

RAI provides you with that extra bit of exposure for the world to see. My main focus for this website is connections. And you never know what connections the person has reading your article. If that person were to fall in love with your music and just happen to have a recording studio, well my friends you are in luck. BUT... "Who Knows"...

For those trying to spread their name accross the internet without spamming twitter or myspace here is a list of social networking sites that I recommend registering a profile to. And again, the more places your name and your music can be found, the better. Trust Me!

Rising Artists In The Future

Updated: August 19th, 2009

As some of you may know this company is only one month old and currently has one employee (ME). Well here are some other stats about Rising Artists that are more then extraordinary for only being one month old and spending $0.00 on advertising.

Rising Artists Has:

28 Followers On Twitter (Follow Me: www.twitter.com/RisingArtists )
126 Members On FaceBook (Join Us At: www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=112497392392 )
9,000+ Plays On Last.fm (Join The Group: www.last.fm/group/Rising+Artists )
14 Subscribers On Youtube (Subscribe: www.youtube.com/user/RisingArtists )
121 Friends On Youtube
5 Group Members On The Youtube group (Join Here: http://www.youtube.com/group/RisingArtistsGroup )
8,000+ Page Views On This Website
15 Connected Artists (Wanna Get Connected? Easy!! E-Mail me at: geistsoul13@gmail.com )

And those numbers go up everyday! Each day those numbers grow exponentially!

With all that said, what are my plans for Rising Artists in the Future? How far am I going to go?

By next summer I plan to own a fully operational professional recording studio to record local bands and Rising Artists at much lower prices then competitive studios.

I plan to release a bi-annual album featuring tracks from connected artists, of which rightful royalties will be paid to those hard working artists. The idea so far is to sell a 12 track album for $8 dollars!!! Yup, and I would only walk away with 20% of the sale profit. That's $1.60 for you math guru's, it will cost me upwards to around $1.00 to produce and market the album so I walk away with less then $0.60 per sale and the artists featured in the album walk away with $0.53 per sale. I strongly disbelieve in those record companies taking 50% to 80% of the sales profit. It isn't right.

I plan on making my own website, instead of using Blogger.com as my webhost. It is great for not having any money, but as soon as I can afford it I'm making my very own website... linked to this existing blog though!

I plan on proposing a short segment to MTV featuring interviews and studio sessions with connected Rising Artists.

I plan on having a short segment on local radio stations to play connected Rising Artists.

Eventually I plan on having my very own radio station completely dedicated to this company. Either online or FM hell go big, XM or Serius!

Think this is a bit much? It never hurts to dream, and I dream of helping others make their musical dream a reality. I did not start this company to make some extra cash, I started this company becuase I love music and I love making music. The more music the world has to offer, the better the world's future looks!

I'm Connected, What Now?

Some of you that may have joined Rising Artists International may be wondering: Great! So I got a view extra page views on myspace, and a few more subscribers on youtube, but what now?

Well, that's a good question, actually it's a great question, and I am more then prepaired to give a more then honest answer.

There are countless hours I spend outside of making new posts on this site when I find a new Artist I like. Oh yes, actually 90% of my day goes to finding more fans, more bands, more record companies (that's the big one). The other 10% is mostly sleeping. Anyway, here's what happens after I feature you on this site:

--A link to your music goes out on YouTube, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, EIY, Last.fm, PureVolume, and SoundClick.
--In every conversation I have for the rest of the week I make sure to mention all the people that have joined Rising Artists International. (My close friends find this annoying by now) If I have contact info I make sure to give it out.
--If I know an artist looking to get recorded or I know a record Company looking for artists... In truth if an artist is looking for anything, my real work begins. Currently I'm working with 5 local artists that are trying to find a good recording studio to produce a sample CD or two. At the moment there is only one Record Company connected to Rising Artists (Steph Marziano's Run Like Hell Records) so I have referred them all to her. I am talking to one recording company based in florida at the moment, and when they join I'll be referring any local bands down there to them. As you can tell my main focus is connections. What I offer at this site is connections. Connections you can't find anywhere else. This is a chance to get your name out there and get seen, be heard! **You can NEVER find fans if you do not put yourself out there for fans to find. If you hide away all day simply hoping fame will bounce upon you, it will never come. Let me help spread the word about what you have to offer and put yourself out there. What's the worst that can happen? Your website gets another backlink!

But if your not connected to Rising Artists International it is really easy to get connected. Just ask! That's right, I accept every band/artist that asks to be featured on the site. Even though I do most of the hunting myself. Don't make me have to beg.

Anyway, if you want or need to contact me you can at: Geistsoul13@gmail.com or leave a comment to this post if it is easier.

Music is Life! Live It! Be It!

How does this help me or my band?

Being featured on this site allows you to receive completely free advertising for you and your company. It also provides your website if you submit one with another backlink to help you earn a better standing on Search Engines like Google so others can find you.

This is an International organization so people from all over the world will see you and be referred to your music.

The Benefits of Joining Rising Artists on Last.fm

The following article will explain how to sign up for last.fm as an artist, the benefits of signing up with last.fm, how to become a connected artist to Rising Artists International, and the benefits of joining the Rising Artists Group on last.fm.

----------

--Why Should I Join last.fm as an artist?

Firstly some of you may be asking what is last.fm? Well, last.fm is a "global music service that avialable in 12 different languages"(last.fm/about), whose main goal is to make music available to anyone at any time the way they want their music, FREE. That's right, the music you can listen to and many times even download is all FREE. Of course you can subscribe monthly for extra features but you can find all that out on your own.

--That's cool! But What does that have to do with me and my music?

Well not only can you sign up as just a regular member, but you can sign up as an Artist! (And even a Record Label)

--Woopdee Fricken Do, what does that do for me?

Joining last.fm as an artist gives you the oppertunity to spread your music literally to the world. FOR FREE! Not to mention, you get royalties for letting last.fm use your songs! Yea royalties. Even if your just a garage producer of some techno tracks you make for fun, you can get paid for it, by simply making a few clicks of the mouse.

By joining last.fm as an artist your songs will reach farther then they ever can at a local gig or playing at a bar 10 miles from your house. The world opens up to you and your music! And that is what Rising Artists International is going to do for your music. If you want to make a difference and you want to be heard. Rising Artists International is the place to be!

----------

How To Sign Up for last.fm

The above is located at the bottom of last.fm's main page (http://www.last.fm/). Click the one that applies to you. For the purpose of this guide I clicked "Artist". After you click "Artist", you will be confronted by this image:

Type in your artist name and then "Go". If someone else uses your same name then you can claim the rights to it by sending last.fm an E-Mail or simply change your name a little bit just for the website. If it doesn't exist on their website yet then click on the "Claim This Artist" link. You will now see this page:

From here on out you just need to follow the instructions!

Now this is where it gets a little tricky!

At the royalties page the best option for an independent artist with no previous label is to just click "I want to collect Radio and On-Demand royalties for all my songs." This basically means every time someone listens to your song on last.fm's radio or one of your songs is played on your profile page (or someone else's), you get paid!

The last step is to agree to the terms and conditions. I encourage you to read them so you know what your getting yourself into, besides one of the best decissions of your life.

Check it out for yourself at http://www.last.fm/!

----------

I'm signed up! How do I get connected to Rising Artists International?

It's super easy! Follow this link: http://www.last.fm/group/Rising+Artists/. Look at the top of the page to find the "Join" button and that's it. Once you join be sure to send me a message on last.fm or just send me an E-Mail at geistsoul13@gmail.com and ask to become a connected artist. End!

----------

Why should I join Rising Artists on last.fm and why should I become a connected artist?

Again, the answer is simple! Signing up for the group as a regular member gives you an oppertunity to find the latest and newest of music showing up world wide! Rising Artists has an Official Online Radio (http://www.last.fm/listen/group/Rising%2520Artists/ ), this the the place where you'll be introduced to Rising Artists Internationals new artists and it's similar artists. You may just find your new favorite track!

Now if you're an artist becoming connected will make your global music experience even greater! Upon becoming a connected artist your tracks featured on last.fm will begin playing on our online radio automatically for millions to hear world wide. Your tracks will also be playing along side big name artists in your genre so others tuning in make connections between them and you! No other online music site does this for new and upcoming artists! None!

I hope this has helped you in your quest to make a name for yourself! Don't forget to send an invite to everyone you know about Rising Artists International. Join the group and support the scene!
