I am launching a new independent music service, and I am trying to populate the database while I finish up the site, and one person (me) just can't handle the job. I have a list of musicians I want added to the database, and I am hiring people to do it. The job duties will be: - Sign up for new accounts on my site (I'll give you artists name and you form it into a user name for example "Grateful Dead" will be "gratefuldead"...easy enough! - Download music from one source and upload it to my site - Copy over the biography - Choose and appropriate category if none is listed - Uploading user picture if there All of this is done via a web based platform, no real experience required. If you have signed up for an e-mail address before then you have some something more complicated that this. Job is not limited to one person, so please PM me if you are interested. I have no idea what you want to be paid so give me an estimate to do 50 artists at a time. I expect the turn around to be reasonable time frame. We can agree upon this later. Thanks!
They didn't sidetrack it. They had a very valid point that isn't addressed. Independent music doesn't mean there aren't still copyrights. You can never take a bio or songs from any artist without their expressed permission (and I work heavily in indie music, so I can assure you musicians won't just be ok with it). You need permission, or you're going to get into legal trouble, as could anyone taking the gig and doing the actual copying if you don't have that permission first.
Its all legal. I have permission to distribute. I wouldn't launch a venture that wasn't legal.... If your independent bands are interested in a free music music service please let me know. What I am constructing is a large independent music site like I mentioned, and I welcome more artists. PM me if you are interested. Now back to the thread. I chose a few people already for the job, and I'm giving them 48 hours to see how much they accomplish. Then I will contact the second wave of people for hiring. Meaning, if you did not get a PM yet don't think you are out of a job. Thank you for the good response.
Ok I got people flaking out on me right and left here, so I am going to make this one last attempt at hiring some people before I post on some freelancer forums. If you can start working like, now, then hit me on PM.
