Bringing Back HomeMusician.net From The Dead?

I've put some thought into resurecting HomeMusician.net lately. As I've (unfortunately) put it aside for awhile, it totally refused to die. Instead it still gained a lot of traffic, going from 900 unique visitors a day to about 1300.

So that being said, I'll be turning HomeMusician.net into a community website. I've got plans that will draw a massive amount of visitors. I also hope to get lot more useful and entertaining content to all of you.

In the meantime, if you are interested in taking part in the future version of HomeMusician.net, I'm looking for writers in these fields of knowledge:

• Theorical music lessons
• Music playing techniques (guitar, bass, drum and piano)
• Musical instruments and equipment reviews
• Recording and mixing
• Music scene

Here are the benefits of writing for HomeMusician.net:

• Getting quality backlinks to your website
• Increase your PageRank
• Visibility

In the short term, you will not be paid to write for HomeMusician.net but you will be allowed to link to your website. In the long run, I will come up with a pricing structure that will allow to make money off posts made a HomeMusician.net

Interested? Send me an email at sbrault at homemusician.net.

Until then, stay tuned for our massive makeover of HomeMusician.net!

PLEASE DISABLE YOUR DOWNLOAD MANAGER

PLEASE DISABLE ANY DOWNLOAD MANAGER when you are downloading files from HomeMusician.net. This causes the webserver to crash.

THIS IS ALSO TRUE FOR WEBSITE COPIER / OFFLINE BROWSERS.

Again I've just had to ban another IP from which the visitor was trying to download my whole website. Bandwitdh cost money, server resources cost money and maintenance takes time (and time is money).

So just when I am in the process of deciding if keep this site online, please have a little consideration and download only what you need!

Thank you for understanding.

Should HomeMusician.net Be Kept Alive?

It's been a long time since I posted here huh? Things have been going pretty fast since my last article. Me and my girlfriend had a baby in late September. I've also started a new blog over at http://www.thewebmasterscafe.net

Why I've Left HomeMusician.net Aside

Since February 2007 I've put a lot of effort into HomeMusician.net and managed to multiply its income by nearly 15 times! Hey I'm not rich, I've gone from $30 a month to nearly $400 a month. But this summer I've experienced a huge drop in my AdSense earnings although my site still had more and more visitors (and clicks!) everyday.

Now my goal is to make a living online and HomeMusician.net was (is?) a way to get there but it takes to much time to update it on a regular basis for the income it generates.

I've thought of a few ideas to monetize this site like turning this whole site into a blog selling ad spots. Don't worry, I'd keep all the free stuff ;)

So, do you think HomeMusician.net should stay online or not? Let me know what you think.

Watch How To Tune Your Guitar for Metal Heads

I like going over YouTube.com from time to time. There are a lot of useful (and not so useful) videos there.

This week I've found this video on guitar tuning for all you metal heads freaks.
