How to Make Money on a Music Website through Affiliate Programs?
How to Make Money on a Music Website through Affiliate Programs?

Do you find yourself looking for a way to make some extra money?
How about creating a website on something that everyone includes
in their life, Music? The opportunities are endless and what’s
great about it is that you can make money on it while you’re
eating, sleeping, or just sitting around watching TV.
Don’t get me wrong, it is a lot of work in the beginning to get
everything started. Once you get your website built the way you
want it though, all that is left is maintaining it to keep it at
tip top shape. From there you’ll be making money off of it
24/7. So, how do you get started and how do you make money off
of it you may be wondering?
To start off you need to purchase a domain name, which is your
website URL. You can do this at GoDaddy.com for a cheap price
of $9.20 per year. Now you have your website name, the next
step is to pick a host for your website. This is where you will
build your website. You can do this at GoDaddy.com starting at
$3.95 per month, or choose to go to another hosting company as
there are many out there.
From there you are set to build your website, now how do you
begin making money off of it?
There are many ways to make money off of your website. One way
is to join affiliate programs through companies around the
world. How an affiliate program works is you join under that
company and refer people through your website to their website.
Then, as people go to the companies website through yours,
whatever the person buy’s you get a certain amount of money off
of their purchase.
The amount made varies from company to company and it even
varies among the different products sold. The big name
companies you’ll often make less money off of, such as Best Buy
and Circuit City you’ll make approximately 3-7% on all sales.
Smaller companies some times offer more through their affiliate
programs, but people sometimes will opt to go to the well known
companies instead.
For a music website you’ll obviously want to join affiliate
programs dealing with entertainment of some sort. Bestbuy.com
and CircuitCity.com are good ones to join, but can be difficult
to get into when you’re just starting out. One good one can be
found at:
http://www.best-mp3-music-downloads.com/buy.html
Clickbank.com is an affiliate network that is extremely good to
join as you instantly gain access to you choice of over 10,000
digital products to sell on your website. There are nine
categories associated with clickbank.com, but categories to
focus on with a music website through clickbank.com would be fun
and entertainment and sports and recreation.
Where you find the registration form for the affiliate programs
is on the companies’ homepage, and it is usually listed on the
bottom of their homepage as affiliate program. When doing a
music website you don’t have to just stick with music affiliate
programs either. You can focus on entertainment as a whole that
way you can join affiliate programs for games, movies, posters
and more.
Another way you can make money through affiliate programs is
two-tier programs. Two-tier programs are programs that you make
money off of people signing up for the affiliate program through
you. Not all affiliate programs offer two-tier programs, but
they are out there and signing up to affiliate programs with
two-tier programs is to your benefit. A few entertainment
two-tier programs that I have joined include;

www.best-mp3-music-downloads.com/mp3dollars.html
The best thing with affiliate programs is that they are free.
You make money off of selling companies’ products and it doesn’t
cost you a thing to register under the company. Another bonus
to affiliate programs is that there is no limit as to how many
you are allowed to join and put on your website. The sky is the
limit with affiliate programs and money can be made 24/7 on your
music website today at the cost of nothing.

Your iPod is a fantastic mp3 player: but it can do so much more.
Your iPod is a fantastic mp3 player: but it can do so much more.
by: Johnathan Crews
This ebook will show you how to use your iPod to its MAXIMUM. Use it as a PDA, a bootable hard drive, back-up your computer, and to record voice notes.
This eBook is also your iPod's missing manual. Solve problems such as freezes, crashes, poor battery capacity, working with multiple machines, updating its firmware.
Don't spend hours and hours surfing the internet to find the answer to your problem: just look it up in this ebook.
Take this quick quiz:
1. Are you using your iPod to back up your important files (from your PC or Mac or BOTH!), boot your Mac, copy music to other people's Machines, and store your contacts and notes?
2. Do you know how to restart your iPod after it's crashed or frozen and how to update its software?
3. Are you getting frustrated with the limited battery life but don't know how to maximise it?
4. Do you know how to connect your iPod to your car radio, home stereo and DVD player?
5. Do you know what iPod accessories are available and what they do?
6. Do you know what iPod software is available for both PCs and Macs?
7. Do you know how to change the battery in your iPod?
8. Do you know what to do if you accidentally erase your iPod's hard drive?
9. Do you know how to use your iPod with two different machines?
10. Did you know you can replace your ipod's hard drive or perform other iPod hacks?
Did you answer "No" to any of these questions? If so, you will find plenty of useful information in this ebook that will show you how you can use your iPod for a myriad of tasks and what to do when things go wrong.
Why was this ebook written?
When I bought my first iPod, I spent days trying to learn how to use it properly and to get it syncing with MUSICMATCH. It didn't work! I consulted the little booklet that Apple ships with an iPod. That didn't help much. So, I trawled the net to find solutions to all the problems I was having. It wasn't easy! I found a range of different sites that had snippets of information, but it was often difficult to find exactly what I was looking for. v After changing software (to iTunes), solving some freezing problems, updating my iPods firmware, and discovering how to use the one iPod with both my Mac and PC, I am now crazy about my iPod and can't imagine music without it. I thought that other people were probably experiencing some similar frustrations and might benefit from learning how to solve common problems with a minimum of effort.
As I began to master my iPod, I also learnt about all the other things you could do with an iPod, as well as the range of third party software designed to maximise the utility of your iPod. Basically, I learnt a lot. So, I thought it might be useful to write it down: put all this information in the one spot to make it easy for people to enjoy their iPod from Day 1 and, once they have mastered the basics, to learn how to do a whole stack of other things with their iPod. Or, if you've already got an iPod, then this ebook will help you to get the most from this technology.
What is in the ebooK?
In this ebook, you will learn:
how to update your iPod's software (Windows and Mac)
how to boot your Mac from your iPod (which is a great way to back up your Mac's hard disk and to make sure that if your hard drive ever fails, you aren't up the proverbial creek without a paddle) (Mac only).
how to troubleshoot your iPod (eg when it freezes or won't turn on, how to reset the PMU, when the touchwheel and buttons don't respond, when you've accidentally erased your iPod's drive).
how to use your iPod to store data (such as word files, pictures, movies) (Windows and Mac).
how to maximise your iPod's battery capacity and what to do if you still need more (Windows and Mac).
how to synchronise your contacts, calendar and email between your Mac/PC and your iPod (Windows and Mac).
how to store notes on your iPod (Windows and Mac) including using scripts to automate these processes (Mac only).
how to use your iPod to DJ.
what you need to use your iPod as a voice recorder (so you can tape lectures, meetings, interviews or just make voice memos for yourself) (Windows and Mac).
what you need to turn your iPod into a multi-media card reader (Windows and Mac).
how to play music until you sleep and how to use your iPod to wake you up again (Windows and Mac).
how to use your iPod with your home stereo system, dvd player or car stereo to have all your music with you wherever you are (Windows and Mac).
how to copy songs from your iPod to your Mac or PC (Windows and Mac).
how to use your iPod with multiple Machines (Windows and Mac).
how to replace your iPod's battery (Windows and Mac).
how to replace your iPod's hard drive (Windows and Mac).
what software is available for your iPod, what does it do, where can you find it and where can you find more (Windows and Mac).
I spent hours and hours of my holidays just learning how to do some basic things with my iPod (and I've been using computers for nearly 20 years). I had a few freezes and crashes, the battery didn't seem to want to charge and I couldn't get songs to transfer from my music software onto the iPod. Arrgghh! It drove me crazy. So, I set my sights on learning as much about the iPod as I could, to make sure I got value for money. I finally have and I love my iPod. Don't waste the time I did.

Nothing But Country Music Downloads
Nothing But Country Music Downloads
by: Jeff Schuman
Listening to country music’s greatest hits could never be easier
than it is today. All of the greatest country music songs and
today’s hottest hits are all but a couple clicks away from you.
No more having to go out and buy the CD or waiting to hear it on
the radio. Now, with the help of this article, you’ll be able
to find which sites provide the best country music downloads

Don’t you hate it when you’re excited about a new CD that’s
coming out, then you buy it and there are only a couple good of
songs? With music downloads you no longer have to go through
this grueling process anymore as you can simply select the songs
or artists that interest you most and make a collaboration of
your favorite country music downloads.
At MSN Music you can find everything country that will satisfy
your needs. One of the many things they offer is the current
top selling albums such as Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban’s Be Here,
and Brooks and Dunn Greatest hits, plus many more. For a low
price of $.99 per song you can download all of the top selling
songs including alcohol by Brad Paisley, Keith Urban’s Days Go
By, Who You’d Be Today by Keney Chesney, and Hundreds more. If
that’s not enough for you, then click under the artists in
demand link and view the top 100 country music artists in demand
and view all of their accessible songs to download. All this
and more can be found here:
http://music.msn.com/genre/?genre=29441771
Another site that is very much worth mentioning is MP3.com. Here
you can find not only country music downloads, but also watch
videos of an assortment of artists. This site helps you find a
certain artist or song very quickly making it convenient. If
you simply want to browse through a certain kind of country,
they have different songs broken into different country styles
such as alternative country, country-pop, honky tonk and more.
On the side of the main page they have classic country
essentials such as Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Charlie Rich and
more. As with MSN Music, you can search by artist or song to
help find what you need quicker. Also similar to MSN Music is
the price per song at $.99. This site can be viewed here:
http://www.mp3.com/country/genre/10/summary.html
There are sites out there that allow you to get country music
downloads for “free”, but be careful with these sites. Many of
these sites say they’re free, but will sucker you into buying
other things or somehow get you signed up for buying CD’s and
more. For instance, http://www.ez-tracks.com makes you sign up
first by submitting your name, address, phone number, and more
information.
Another site found at http://www.mpfree.com has you go through
several steps to sign up. Included in the steps is personal
information such as name and address, you have to set up an
account with a password, then there are two or three pages of
advertisements that you have to go through and select if you’re
interested or not.
So while it may seem cheaper and worth the time to attempt to
find country music downloads for free, you may want to
investigate and try some things out before going into that.
There are millions of sites out there offering country music
downloads and they’re all waiting for you. I have provided a
few of the better sites in my opinion to get you started. Now
it’s your turn to go and begin putting together a list of your
favorite country music songs.

How Do You Write Songs?
How Do You Write Songs?
by: Larry Ford
There was an interesting post today on a message board that I go to. It was about a guy that just started a new band and he wanted to know if anyone could give him some songwriting tips.
First off, there isn't a wrong way to write songs. But after you've done it for a while, you'll find out that some ways to go about it are easier than others.
This is how I do it.
1. Music and Melody Come First
I never fit a melody to pre-existing lyrics. It’s forced and it doesn’t sound good to me. When you write the words before the melody, you’re trying to force the melody to fit your lyrics. The result is it doesn’t sound natural.
A lot of songwriters start with an idea. It's just easier for me to know what angle I'm coming from. Usually how it happens with me is the music comes first and the melody comes right after that.
Why do I write the melody first before my lyrics?
If I don't know how many notes are in the melody, how do I know how many syllables need to be in my lines? I don’t.
If there’s 8 notes in the first part of the melody and 6 notes in the second part , you’ll have to have 8 syllables in the first line and 6 in the second.
Let’s say you want to put 4 lines in each of your verses, You’ll have 8 syllables in the first and third lines and six in the second and fourth.
Here’s an example:
In the song "I want you to want me" the lead singer for Cheap Trick wrote a four line melody that had six notes in the first three lines and seven in the last line. He knew that there had to be six syllables in the first three lines and seven syllables in the fourth.
I Want You To Want Me
I want you to want me =six syllables
I need you to need me =six syllables
I’d love you to love me =six syllables
I’m begging’ you to beg me =seven syllables
2. Figure Out An Idea To Work From
Ideas are everywhere. You can write about what a friend of yours is going through. You can write about what you're going through.
I keep a journal just for this and make daily installments. I write down everything that I can think of that happened that day. And after a few months of that, I'll go through the journal harvest my ideas.
I treat my journal like the garden it is. Most every song I write comes directly from my journals.
3. Put the idea into one to two sentences
The best way to show you this is to give you an example. Keeping with "I Want You To Want Me", here’s the basic idea:
"I want you to want me as bad as I want you."
You only want one idea for each song. If you have any more, your song is going to last too long. And you're listeners won't be able to keep up.
Believe me, nobody but you will understand them. I know from very bad experience.
4. Write The Lyrics To Fit The Melody
Once you have the idea, you start to explain the idea in the verses with the number of syllables you have in the melody. The chorus is just the overall idea in a summed up fashion.
That’s how I write songs. Music and melody come first. The idea comes after that. Write the idea in a statement form. And then, write the lyrics to fit the melody.
