The Hits A Million theme song contest!!!

2008 Hits A Million Theme Song Contest Entry form.wpd
Hitsamillion.ning.com is one of the fastest growing social networking sites for music creators with over 80 members in a week and over 54,000 views in one month. And the site is constantly growing with new members and new content! Now Hitsamillion.ning.com needs a theme song which reflects what this site is about.

Do you think you and/or your team can write the winning theme song for Hits A Million?

Here's how the contest will work: Out of all the entries, five songs will be selected to move to the next round. The top five songs will then be judged by not only Thedy B, but by other seasoned music industry professionals, including two music publishers, a club DJ, and a Grammy-award/Stellar awarding winner producer. All of the top five songs will receive feedback from the judges. From those five songs, one song will be the winner. If you are chosen to be the winner, not only will your song have been judged by industry professionals but you will be the featured writer/producer on Hits A Million. You will get a full write up on the site, including your name and profile picture. Additionally, the song will be featured as the first song on the Hits A Million playlist on the main page. Your song will also be featured on the Hits A Million MySpace band page and a simple Youtube video will be made as added promotion.

The Hitsamillion.ning.com team!!

Because there are so many things that I want to see done at hitsamillion.ning.com that I had to have a team. I needed a team that was enthusiastic, helpful, resourceful, knowledgeable, loves music and had a servant's heart. Well I finally have the team that I wanted. Interestingly most of my team members turned out to be some of the members who initially joined hitsamillion.ning.com right after I launched it. It's not coincedental though because typically the people who join you at the beginning see the vision you have for what you're doing and have demonstrated at least an outward show of support for you and what you're doing. So I'm grateful to the new team at hitsamillion.ning.com

This site is much bigger than me though. As I've said before it's about the members of the site. It's about the vision of the site. It's about the goals of the site. Our goal is to help the music industry professionals reach their individual goals in the music business. And the members see and know that because they invite others to join, they LIVE on the site, and they always help each other out.


So come join us at hitsamillion.ning.com

Events on Hitsamillion.ning.com

Another thing I love about hitsamillion.ning.com is all the great events I get to tell members about. There are all type of events that I post there in an events tab. Regardless of what you do in the music industry, I'm sure I've posted an event you'd be interested in. From music conferences, seminars, training courses, songwriting contests, beat battles, anniversaries, etc. Members also post events up so recently we had some Internet radio stations post events about their radio programs! Plus, members get to RSVP and let others know they are going and members can go together! You can also share the events with your "friends" on Hits A Million. So that is yet another thing besides Chat time that you can enjoy on Hitsamillion.ning.com

Chat time on Hitsamillion.ning.com was great!

Meet me and other songwriters, producers, artists, rappers, and music business professionals met up at the chat room on hitsamillion.ning.com!!! It was great!

This chat time is a great way to meet other songwriters, producers, singers, rappers, music professionals, etc, to find out what we each other do, where we live, and perhaps what or who we are trying to find.

First we networked, then we discuss some topics, and then we checked out each other's music! Some of the chatters got instant feedback on their music! The members who got the most praise and recognition on the site got their music featured on the main page of the site! Just like I said in my previous post that they would! Adding the chat room has been great. What I love too is that people on the site are really hungry to handle business. Plus, everyone is nice, courteous, respectful, and business minded. It makes chatting fun and easy!

So again, join hitsamillion.ning.com and meet us in the chatroom on hitsamillion. ning.com at our next chat time which will be announced soon so keep reading for more details!

Why join hitsamillion.ning.com when there are other social networking sites?

Hitsamillion.ning.com is networking site for songwriters, producers, artists, managers, engineers, and all music business professionals. I started hitsamillion.ning.com in November 2007 because I wanted to interact with songwriters, producers, artists, engineers and music professionals in a way that MySpace, Facebook, and a lot of other sites I was on at the time really doesn't provide. As an owner of my own site now, I'm not subject to all the restrictions and limitations of MySpace.

At hitsamillion.ning.com, we can talk about issues that concern us as music professionals. I post events to let my members know about what's happening. Members get to change and rearrange and decorate their page. I get to change the featured members on the site so I can showcase members for their contributions. I can showcase my members' music. Plus, members still get to post pictures, videos, blogs, forums, music and comments. They can post events. They can make new friends. They can email their friends at one time. They can join and start their groups within the site. Plus, I welcome all of the new members to my site personally! So it's a great site. With over a hundred members, I'm not the only one who thinks so!

I'm a longtime member of MySpace and Facebook. Personally, neither suited all of my needs. I wanted to not only find out who people were and send them an email (which they may or may not read or respond to) but I also wanted to really interact with songwriters and producers in other ways. At hitsamillion.ning.com, people can really talk. You won't find all the sillyness that goes on on MySpace's forums. I hate their forums.


So yes, I want you to join hitsamillion.ning.com! You're truly welcome there.
