HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
For Artists – Step One is to create an account. Click Create account. Next, we will choose to create an Artist account. And next – you just need a valid email, a six-digit password and an artist name. It’s pretty simple.
To play the Game, you will need to upload a song. There are no jawnrez, but – if you think your song is Easy Listening, click on this checkbox. If it’s loud or Hardcore, click this checkbox. Fans of these styles are more likely to hear your song – and potentially rate your song higher. Mid-tempo, you click nothing at all. Enter the song title and choose a song and finally, click upload.
Once your song is uploaded, you can view it on the Songs Uploaded table.
You can make a song briefly exclusive which means the song is not on any other platform which means fans cannot ID the song. If they really love a song, they need to buy it. Briefly exclusive means it is only exclusive for the day, or so, that it takes to climb 12 gaming levels. Most importantly, exclusive songs have about one hundred X better odds, of beating the game.
The Game is not easy –
Songs need an average score of eighty-five out of one hundred or higher to beat the game, and only about one in one thousand songs will actually beat the game – the rest will be Game Over and all Game Over songs are instantly and permanently rendered not-exclusive and also inactive.
The only songs that you can activate or dee activate are in the play queue. You can also move them up in the play queue. All other songs are either frozen active or frozen non-active.
You can also skip into a song up to 30 seconds – so that reviewers hear the choice portion of the song. The skip-intro is for fans that score your song. If you play a song from this table, it plays from the start – it does not skip the intro.
Once your song is uploaded, click the button – Play The Game. This takes you to the Rate Songs screen.
Now click, Play, to Play the Game. – Here, you will score random mystery songs by other artists – based on how much you like the song. And they will impartially score your song in return.
You have to listen to the first twenty seconds before you can score a song. Just be honest in scoring – giving low scores to other artist’s songs does not help your song achieve a winning average score. In fact, it could result in your winning song being eliminated.
Separately, in this box it reports the Level your song is at, along with its average score. Don’t confuse the scores you give, when you play songs, with the average score you get, here. This is what you get, the play button is where you give.
END PART 1
If you rate the song pretty low, say 60 out of 100, you do not get the option to buy it. Here, I will score this 80 out of 100. Because I rated it so high, I get the option to buy the mystery song. Here, I choose not to buy and I simply submit the score. And now I continue to rate other mystery songs.
The Game screen is your situation room. It gives you the lay of the land. It counts the scores you Give and the scores you Get. It also tells you how many scores you song still needs to get. And, how many songs that you still need to give scores to. And that’s it – do what The Game requires and you will climb 12 levels.
At Gaming Level 9, you may need to upload a new song which is akin to putting another quarter in the machine. At Gaming Level 11, you may need to signup 2 new artists using your Promo link. After you play the Game four times with four different songs, you no longer need to signup new artists to clear Level 11.
Also, when you signup Fans, and then they score songs, you get credit for their plays. This means your songs auto climb the Gaming Levels. You simply need to enter songs into the game.
Finally at Level 12, you just need to give all the scores required – then your next song moves into the Game at Level 1, where it begins to climb.
Meanwhile, your previous song has entered the Sifter Stages. The 12 Sifter Stages separate out winning songs. You have no tasks to complete at the Sifter Stages – your song will only get scores. The screen is informational – it tells you whether you beat the Game or not. The higher your song’s average score, the more stages it climbs and the more scores it receives.
Again, most songs will not beat the game and they will be Game Over. They will be displayed on the Sifting Stages table that shows the final average score.
When your song beats the Game, it goes into Mass Exposure where it gets played in heavy rotation over a period of months or even years. The goal is to convert ten percent to twenty percent of plays into song sales – we anticipate that only exclusive songs will achieve this.
When you sell songs, these appear on your Songs Sold table. And, when you buy songs, these appear on your Purchased Songs table.
On the Your Account screen, in order to get paid, make sure you enter your PayPal email,
When it comes to your Promo Link and Dividend payments, we already covered that in our video titled – Why sign up ten thousand fans.
And that completes our tour. Bottom line – songs that beat the game will gain a large audience. Now, – Play The Game!
