Sounds exciting!

I realize to people who don’t look deeply, it can look like the typical promotions that the big blogs and influencers do, but anyone who takes a serious look at what we’re doing at LM can see that this model is quite different. I again ask people to look back at how we used LinkedMusicians to advocate for a member who was wronged at a developer, Karanyi. There is no other forum where the forum owner would do that, no influencer, no blog. They prioritize developers and retailers over music producers and composers, and I completely understand how it’s surprising for someone who’s publicly known for their expertise in marketing to be behind all of this, but I’m dissecting the power structure as it normally works and turning it around to empower the community members instead of those they buy from. It’s a true grassroots approach and it’s the polar opposite how all of the legacy forums are run as well as the social media platforms.

Yes, we’re eventually going to look to advertising to fund this platform, but advertisers or affiliate partners will never call the shots. If Karanyi were an affiliate partner that mistreated one of our members, I would have dropped them– full stop. I can assure everyone that is not the way things normally work. But it is the way LinkedMusicians will always work.
