Watch, share, rate and comment on music videos, just like on YouTube, from emerging Rap & Hip Hop stars. It’s a site where artists can promote themselves, add friends to their network – and build an audience.

MyRapAudition.com will be giving away a $1000 cash prize for their 1st Contest, which will end on July 17th, 2012. Must be a member of the site to enter or vote on the contest, membership is free & instant.

John Frank and Derek Peacock launched the site because they saw the abundance of talented Rap & Hip Hop performers who were having a difficult time finding an audience or a record deal. “We’re here to play a major part in launching the successful careers of many new Rap & Hip Hop artists, both here in Atlanta, Georgia, and around the world”, says John Frank. “We truly believe we can help artists find a larger audience or even a record deal, and in turn, we can help audiences discover talented Rappers they may never have heard of.”

“Our site is like YouTube, it’s a video sharing community – except we give away cash and prizes!”, says Derek Peacock.

To develop a social network you’ll need a lot of different resources. The first resource is the database and platform depending on what is needed for the scrip. Currently, most of the platforms I see companies using are Joomla, WordPress and Clipshare. We use Clipshare for www.myrapaudition.com, which is a youtube clone. There are a lot of others. Also know that if you buy a platform you’ll need to do a lot of work to get it ready.

First, you’ll need to start out with a concept for the site. We target urban music content that allows video upload from the computer and embedding using both embed tags and iframes. This platform works great for videos sharing site, both commercial and adult videos sites.

I would suggest to develop the sign up page feature all on one page. I don’t recommend using the Facebook sign up or register features. I have found its is really buggy and gets confusing depending on what browser the visitor is using. I recommend have the member only have to input five fields.

Now its time to think about the usability and custom interactivity basic on what the community wants to interact with the content. We use social plug ins, site activity features, and working on developing our own version of Facebook like feature, but gear to the urban market. We have some ideas already, just need more resources to make this happen. Also, a rating, comment, and sharing features.

Once all programing is develop the next steps are built in analytics, many seo landing pages and seeding the site with content. During this feature all social media marketing functions needs to be develop. Facebook has taken out a lot of cool tricks so I recommend using rss feeds and twitter to inform other social networking sites about new content on your social networking site.

Hope this helps with your social networking development.

If you would need any consulting my fee is $100hr four hour bill is the minimum.

How do businesses use Twitter, Internet Advertising, and QR code to generate new leads?

Twitter makes updating and managing media content across social networking sites easy. I am going to give in a nutshell how use twitter for business use that will save money on both Google adwords and Advertise on Facebook, use qr code correctly and give mobile app users an easier way to stay connect with the business.

Understand just embedding a web address into a QR code isn’t enough. A QR code should be interactive and have a direct media message. My suggestion is directing the QR code to a business mobile app.

Twitter gets the message out to social networking site. In the shortcode a tiny urls displays a link. The web address direct user to a web page recognizing what the platform the user is using. Next the interaction begins between the user and the business. My suggestion is to direct the visitor to download the company mobile app.

Both Google adwords allows an image display. Use the QR code directing visitor to access mobile app device. This will also save money because the visitor isn’t clicking the link. This also works with and advertising means.

Contact us to learn how we can help provide your business with our marketing and advertising campaigns.

I spent my career leading which tools are the best and easiest way to manage the web pages for record labels. Today, record label and artist must have a website as the business main web place. If you don’t have one then your really not that serious and most professional will not even want to talk with you unless you have build a relationship with them.

Also, one web address makes it really simple to direct people too. I think it is very unprofessional to have a lot of social network web addresses on marketing tools such as a CD cover or flyer, but website is simple and you can correct visitor information when opt-in. Another point of view is why would a business send fans to another social networking page when they can see everything from a website and get a hit for their website.

When visitors go to a website, they can subscribe or bookmark any social networking site that they want which gives them a choice. This is the fact, a website can run numbers on Google which can equals adverting dollars or sells from products. Really difficult to do so with social pages which should be use to direct visitors to a website.

Lets talk about online radio broadcasting for a record label. Did you know what a record label can make money for just listening to music? And yes, every visitor who hits that page equals money in license music. So how can this be set up? Easy! Build a web site, integrate scrubbing link features fro, rss feeds,  Twitter, Facebook, Reverbnation, and Spotify. Then upload music and start directing a community to the website or online radio page then making money. Don’t allow free downloads, but allow to listen from the page for free. The more hits the music page gets the more money the label makes. Just build the system and start listening to the label’s music hosted on your music store accounts then make money. That easy.

So what tools should one use? I suggest using Reverbnation, Last.fm, and Twitter system integrated into your website. Simple uh? So how much would a system like this cost for today’s record label? I would price it on a web site, SEO, social media, and online store distribution using QR code be between five to ten thousand dollars just depending on how big your system is needed. Then maintaining the system is more. You can do this yourself. Go to www.veg311.com and copy the business model this should only take a professional web, seo expert for music, graphic artist, and social media expert about six months to complete. Sense I have done all the work, the system can be design in about four to six weeks. Contact D.Peacock Studios if your label needs help, but understand using my help there is a fee. Good luck on your record label.
