I’ve uploaded the presentation files in both Powerpoint and PDF format.

Both the profile page and the resources page are things you can help me with. If there is a resource you use – a website, a piece of software, etc. – let me know about it. If you are a songwriter or performer who is using social media and other online tools for marketing, promotion, exposure, or to help you more effectively run your business, write and record songs, let me know as well.

And let others know about the site.

This community will provide tutorials, tools, news, and technologies meant to help the performing, touring, and recording songwriter better promote their music.  This is not a social media site – per se. There are plenty of sites for uploading and exposing your music and performances.

Rather, TheSongwriterOnline.com, is my attempt to pull those elements together into a cohesive whole.

Your feedback is welcome! In fact, it is vital!
