Just joined the site and already made a sale within a couple weeks. 909 Music paid me immediately!
congrats steve! a lot more sales to come
Just went to my 909 page and it says “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!”… anyone else?
Hmm, never mind… somehow the URL got changed
Hello everyone,
As some of you might have noticed, watermarks have now been deployed on all tracks.
Just continue to upload music normally as you used to, our systems will automatically add watermarks to all your tracks.
Best always,
Arnav
Excellent.
Great job Arnav !!
I’m just wondering if it’s worth the effort to upload to yet another RF library. Has anyone made at least $100/month at 909..?
Hi pcomp – all very valid and cool points. Thanks for your input.
What is your username on 909?
Well, what’d ya know! Just when I was about to give up on 909 after many months, I had my first sale today!
Congratulations David! Glad to hear that.. As the traffic increases we are seeing sales from more and more composers everyday. Glad to have sold your track today. We are expecting a massive influx of new traffic in the next 3 months so hang in there! As you can imagine, with any new company, it takes a bit of time for brand building and for customers to trust a new company in the market. But one day at a time, we are getting there!
Hi, forgive me if I’m wrong, but I really think you need to work on the search engine. Right now, if I search for more than one word, I get no search results. These would be words I know are in the tags. By the way, how many characters are max for tags? It seems like it cuts them off if you paste in too many.
Also, more ways of sorting the search results would be really beneficial.
Thanks!
…and please stop the pop-ups.
Hi pcomp thanks for engaging. The pop-ups have stopped now. Once you are logged in you wont see any pop ups anymore.
We are working on improving the search engine dramatically. Thank you for your input.
Thanks for checking back! It’s a promising site, keep up the good work!
Also, if you’re looking for input on how to design the search engine, here are some of my personal opinions/tips:
• Don’t search the title. It will result in 1,000 tracks named Inspiration down the line, just like on AJ. It’s better to have a separate field for just title search if you need to find a specific track. MusicLoops omits titles and you get creatively named tracks and the search results look much nicer.
• Implement a little bit of randomization in the display of the search results. This will be very useful down the line when you have many, many tracks on the site.
@Pcomp — you’ve got a ton of opinons on how every library should run its business.
But, it’s very refreshing to hear from someone who isn’t simply trashing the RF model. 😀
Thanks!
I sure do, and I think it’s pretty great to be able to reach some of the library owners directly like this. They can ignore what I say or not, but at least I might get them to think about a few key issues. In my opinion, there are very few (if any) libraries that get it all right so I try to pinpoint the things I really like (as a seller) and hope that more libraries will follow.
For their business, maybe it doesn’t matter, although I think that happy suppliers is always something to strive for.
@pcomp…I really appreciate that you’re supporting the RF model, and not throwing it under the bus!
Cheers,
Michael
I’m trying the 909 site out. Just uploaded a track. The default pricing is $10.00. I can’t do that. How does one raise the price on this site?
Hi Eric – if you don’t set a price for your track it gets assigned the minimum value which is $10.
If you want to edit prices, please click on the edit icon next to your track which will take you to the track edit page. Scroll down, check “monetize..” and input your price in the box below and click submit.
Thanks
Thanks. Got it.
Hey guys!
After having a few internal meetings we have decided to take your concerns into consideration and add watermarks to all previews. We will implement this very soon!
Thank you for voicing your opinions.
– Arnav
That is wonderful news! Thank you, Arnav!!
+1 Good decision!
That’s really, really great Arnav !!!
Good call!!
I haven’t had any success at 909 yet, but my music may not be suitable for the market, I don’t know.
You’ve just sold some music. Please check your mail and get back to us
