I'm going to use this post to keep up to date with my numbers for my other sites.
2-17-10 ... My Space has 267 profile views and 829 friends (As you can tell people are accepting my friend requests but not checking out my site). You Tube has 2,225 channel views, 1,285 video views, 60 subscribers and 199 friends (I really need to add another video to keep things moving forward). Bebo has 60 page views and 28 friends (Just getting started here). In Twitter I have 28 followers (This site is cool because any message I post automatically goes to my other sites). (2-23-10, I set my tune widget in My Space to auto play. This way when people visit my site it will register as a widget hit AND song play with ReverbNation).
2-18-10, I uploaded a new video for my "Have Another Cigarette" song to You Tube, and other sites. Used a bunch of Cigarette butt pictures that I found on the web. I had no problems transferring the pictures to the video, so I am positive that I didn't violate any copyrights.
On 2-21-10, I registered an account with IMRadio. It's an internet based radio station designed specifically for independent musicians. I uploaded all 9 songs from my Freak Cd. After the uploads are finished, a message appears saying that the songs will be aired within 24-72 hours. Absolutely awesome ... free airplay ! I also got a banner, with a link to IMRadio, which I posted in My Space.
On 2-28-10, I registered an account with Buzznet. If I am not mistaken they have 90 million accounts ... that's a lot of potential listeners !! I wasn't able to post any of my tune widgets, but I did upload both video's and add 7 links. I also used another one of my collages ("Elements Collage") as the background for my profile page. Hopefully the video's will earn their keep and inspire the listeners to check out my links. I set up my main URL to ReverbNation, so that could potentially mean more unique listeners. We'll see how it goes !
4-21-10 ... My Space has 464 profile views and 1,086 friends. You Tube has 2,598 channel views, 1,448 upload views, 72 subscribers and 238 friends. Bebo has 91 page views and 46 friends. Twitter has 37 followers. IM Radio has 536 page views and 48 fans. Buzznet has 15 friends. What more can I say ... I've been busy recording.
5-26-10 ... My Space has 602 profile views and 1,175 friends. You Tube has 2,730 channel views, 1,523 upload views, 72 subscribers and 245 friends. Bebo has 95 page views and 51 friends. Twitter has 39 followers. IM Radio has 751 page views and 57 fans. Buzznet has 12 followers. The numbers are still gradually going up, and that's a good thing !
6-21-10 ... My Space has 766 profile views (+164) and 1,481 friends (+306). You Tube has 2,865 channel views (+135), 1,572 upload views (+49), 76 subscribers (+4) and 254 friends (+9). Bebo has 100 page views (+5) and 52 friends (+1). Twitter has 47 followers (+8). IM Radio has 939 page views (+188) and 64 fans (+7). Buzznet has 12 followers (0). Buzznet and Bebo are pretty much irrelevant sites. Both of them are mostly dominated by the teenagers to low 20's crowd. Buzznet is rather complicated, and I really have to admit that I don't have a clue what it's format is. I did manage to put a tune widget in there, so if I ever start getting known it will start registering #'s for me when people visit. Maybe one of these days I will spend a little extra time working on these sites. It just makes more sense at the moment to spend my time with My Space and ReverbNation.
7-14-10 ... My Space has 895 profile views (+129) and 1,830 friends (+339). You Tube has 2,957 channel views (+92), 1,621 upload views (+49), 76 subscribers and 259 friends (+5). Bebo has 106 page views (+6) and 60 friends (+8). Twitter has 54 followers (+7). IM Radio has 1,039 page views (+100) and 64 fans. Buzznet has 12 followers. Slowly but surely :) If Buzznet wasn't such a cool looking site I would delete it. The others serve their purpose in one way or another.
8-31-10 ... My Space has 1,936 friends (+106). You Tube has 3,054 channel views (+97), 1,686 upload views (+65), 81 subscribers (+5) and 277 friends (+18). Bebo has 113 page views (+7) and 63 friends (+3). Twitter has 63 followers (+9). IM Radio has 1,300 page views (+261) and 65 fans (+1). Buzznet still has 12 followers. I am inspired by the progress with both You Tube and IM Radio. I will have to put together a new video for You Tube once the Cd is released. Maybe I will figure out a way to play samples of all the songs and advertise the new Cd. It is also possible to upload the You Tube videos into IM Radio, so this would definitely be a wise business move. Maybe I will use the Cd's graphic design in the visual part of the video, while the song samples play in the background. I will also use the video to direct fans to my home website (www.foxmanmusic.com), where they will find the Cd's lyrics and links to purchase it. Sounds like a plan !!!
UPDATE (2-16-14): Well, Rupert Murdoch destroyed MySpace and was also caught for illegally spying on people, including royals (wonder if the 2 go together). Mr. Murdoch has also done a very effective job of crudding up my righteous last name with Fox News !! Enough of that ..... I love adversity :) ReverbNation and You Tube are still 2 of my most important music sites along with my home website at: www.foxmanmusic.com All songs from my "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd can be heard in their entirety through the tune player below.
About Me

I am the primary musician (bass, guitars, keys and percussion) and vocalist on all of my releases. Outside of the music, I am an accomplished artist and I have also had background acting roles in 2 Netflix movies (Bloodline and The Last Thing He Wanted) and 1 Independent film (Killer Grannies).
