Capstone Ideas

My idea for Capstone is to brand my music by creating a professional online presence. I will do so by designing and developing MadalynsMusic.com

To brand my music I plan on partnering with the women’s shelter in Martinsburg and giving a percent of all music sales to the shelter. This will express to my target audience my beliefs. I believe that we need to work together as women to build each other up. It is too common that women break each other down especially in the music industry. I want my music to encourage unity. I need to do research on how I can deliver this statement to my audience.

I also want to make my music as professional as possible besides my online appearance. During capstone; I will copyright all material through the U.S. copyright office, create an LLC, and register as a songwriter and publisher through BMI. These three steps will help to protected myself as an individual and my music before distribution via iTunes, Spotify, etc.

For my website I will be using links to my social media sites to keep the site active and relevant. I’ll create an online EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for my music to share with businesses I work with. Most likely I will not include this on my website but it will be an essential part of professionalism in the industry. What I would like to include are pictures, videos, music and merchandise.

I will be doing promotion for my website and through my website. Outside of social media platforms I will promote through local radio, television and newspapers. I am not entirely sure that my music will interest them but I will research to find the best way to present my material. I want to get other businesses and local organizations involved in my music to excel promotion.

Another way I plan on getting local business involved is through sponsorship. I have looked in to other various companies that sponsor musicians. Most are product sponsors. These sponsored are based on the use and promotion of their products which limits me to sound equipment and string instruments. 

The company that I meet with is a beer distribution company in Martinsburg. So far we have discussed that they would make banners and advertisements for my music at local bars and give merchandise away during shows. This would help a lot with promotion but I need to do research on what else a sponsorship may include.

I have a lot of ideas in many different aspects of my music. I will over the course of this semester complete everything I have just explained. However, my main objective is to create a brand and display/maintain my brand through MadalynsMusic.com

What Buzz Feed I View & Why

1.) “29 Hilarious Tweet Guaranteed to Brighten Your Day”

I like when things are in lists. They are formatted for viewers to read through content quickly while receiving all the information. This article grabbed my attention because I am a Twitter user that followers other comical Twitter accounts. Others hypertargets include Twitter users that follow accounts based on humor. My own headline "Must See” is more intriguing than “Brightening Your Day”. The information-gap in all of the above Buzz Feed articles are the list contained in the articles. By grabing your attention with the numbered list and title the information-gap leads you to the content received by clicking the link.

2.) “31 Asian Noodle Dishes That’ll Make You Quit Takeout Forever”

Social object of interest is Chinese food. I love Chinese. Other hypertargets are viewers that like Chinese takeout and or like to cook their own meals. My title would be “31 Healthy Chinese Dishes That Taste Better Than Takeout!” This would appeal to my friends because they are very conscious about what they eat.

3.) “32 of the Most Beautiful Bible Verses

This appealed to me for the same reasons the tweet did because it is uplifting and makes me happy. I find bible verses encouraging to read through them. Other hypertargets include religious people and those who enjoy reading the bible. I would change the title to “32 Simple Bible Verses to Brighten Your Day” This allows the reader to know that they aren’t about to open a textbook but can still enjoy the message.
