GETTING STARTED ON DRIPFEED

NOTE: A DripFeed user Profile is analogous to a Facebook User profile ie it is for individuals, not bands. A DripFeed user profile can be a band member or a stage name. It can not be a band name (because that will conflict with a DripFeed Page name).

If you are a band here are some cool things you can do on DripFeed.

Create a DripFeed Page - https://dripfeed.net/pages/create.html

Add videos to your DripFeed Page by importing from YouTube etc. Be careful to follow the categorisation rules, eg official music videos, album art videos, live shows etc. This is to ensure that videos show up in the Official Surf Charts correctly.

Submit Music - https://dripfeed.net/submit-music.html There are two ways of doing this. Submit a Bandcamp Code, or upload mp3s via DripBox. mp3s should be 128kbps or higher (no wavs) and should be correctly labelled Band Name - Track Title, and have correct metadata. No metadata, no airplay! Can I just send you music by email? Not really. I am mobility impaired and have nerve damage in my fingertips. Anything submitted via DripFeed goes directly to the server without me having to download, upload etc. It saves me a ton of work, and although I do listen to everything before broadcast, I want to listen on platform using automation as much as possible.

Broadcast your message! DripFeed rules the world of internet radio, and this is just one of the reasons why. User generated content! Click this button on the right hand side of the screen to open the microphone and record a message to network listeners / your fans. This message can be a) anything, or b) artist drop - eg "this is band member from SURF BAND, and you are listening to (Surf Rock Radio the world's number 1 surf music station), (Surf Music Radio the world's number 2 surf music station), (Monstromental the world's number 3 surf music station).

Tell your fans to request a track on their favourite station eg
http://www.surfrockradio.com/requests, https://dripfeed.net/listen.html etc. Fans don't need to register to request tracks. {Please note we have some restrictions on requesting artists over and over from the same ip address).

Be interviewed by a robot - https://dripfeed.net/surf-band-robo-interview.html
You may get an error message at the end of page 6, or even a 500 error. It's ok, the interview is saved in the database. We will publish these interviews at a later date.

Buy an advert for your releases - https://dripfeed.net/advertise.html. Obviously running a platform like this costs a bit of money, and we are donation supported. You can buy an advert for only 10 USD per month. Bargain.

Broadcast a radio show! https://dripfeed.net/host-a-radio-show-with-dripfeed.html

Add your gigs to the event calendar on your dripFeed page (not profile), then share them all over different social networks.

Feel free to ask me any questions here.

THE HISTORY OF SURF MUSIC: In 1961 Leo Fender invented the 6G15 which for many years was regarded as the most important development in the history of surf music. Then not much happened for a while. In July 2013 I invented SRR which for the first time ever enabled surf bands new and established to reach a fan base. In 2018 I outdid both myself and Leo Fender by inventing DripFeed the MOST POWERFUL set of broadcasting and promotion tools in the world.

In 2021 DripFeed has been made accessible to humans and that includes you. This is the first time ever that surf music radio stations have become truly interactive, in real time across the globe. What you see and hear now is 5% of what DripFeed is capable of. Who knows what the future holds, but if our positronic brains continue to grow at this pace there’s going to be a lot of ripping surf bands taking over the interweb.

Here are some things that DripFeed can do now:
- Social network that controls Facebook, Twitter, IG and linked in profiles 
- Radio Stations (up to 20 TB music storage capacity)
- Gig calendar (automated promotion)
- Radio show calendar  (automated promotion)
- Automated music submission and playlisting (delivery to DJs)
- Surf Music Registry (containing information on everything ever released)
- Chart system 
- requests
- band interviews 
- live broadcasts
- stream ads
- listener to station voice messaging 
- now playing info links to music stores

These are some things on the roadmap for the near future
- bandcamp style music store (no fees?)
- digital aggregator 
- vinyl manufacturing 
- music publishing (collect royalties)
- music mastering
- music reviews
- editorial content
- import all Facebook and IG content to dripfeed
- import all of sg101 and spin the content into unique articles 
- bands can run ads against their own content

DripFeed does all of this through a clean and uncluttered interface that works on all devices.  In addition it is not a privacy risk like Facebook. The clean interface alone make making the switch worthwhile. I’m not saying that surf bands should abandon Facebook and Instagram, just that it’s easier and more efficient to use dripfeed to control what and when content is posted on those platforms.
