Idea: database of similar artists
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2007 6:00 pm
Wonder if this idea is worth considering .........it occurs to me that a new idea may drop out of the sky at a moment's notice. An idea that might be similar to others touched upon...but just different enough. This thread could be a place to drop NEW or Outside The Box ideas.
Time will tell of course......
Here's the idea that prompted this post:
Let me start by saying I could be completely alone in my thinking here that this might be a helpful way to SPREAD THE WORD. I am simply suggesting it might work in some small way. Someday.
Here's the idea.
A thread here on the forum that is essentially a database of singer songwriters that fans of Ellis Paul also like with links to Amazon or CDBABY or CDFREEDOM or artist's websites. Similar to ELLIS RECOMMENDS..only it's along the lines of what Amazon.com does:
Customers who enjoy "this artist" ....... Also enjoy "these artists"
I am always interested to see what else folks like when checking out a CD on Amazon. Why not take it a step further.....here on this forum"
Ellis Paul fans also enjoy these artists: Place Database Here
Would it work??? I'm not sure.
It's just that folks new to our forum would be sure of one thing...that fans of Ellis Paul are fans of music...good music....here's proof.
So, if a die hard fan of "insert artist name here" is surfing Ellis' website and browsing his forum, I think seeing a few of their musical "heroes" listed as favorites by Ellis Paul Fans could go a long way to convincing them we know what we're doing when it comes to good music.
The database would list the artists...link to AMAZON, etc. with a proceed of the sale coming back to Ellis.
Just a goofy idea that came down the pike today........
