I'm personally wanting to reach out to artists that I come across on the standard platforms (Spotify/YT, Bandcamp) whose music I find quite funky & cool, yet they have smaller followings and from the research I've done, they're independent artist's.
What holds me back is fashioning an appropriate reach out email. Explaining the 4v4 space (that's isn't complicated), it's an alternate revenue stream.
I can easily explain Bitcoin & where they can host their music (Fountain/Music Side Project, Wavlake); I don't pick sides with where to host, it's up to them. Bitcoin (that's the value mechanism used) & they can do whatever they'd like with their revenue earned (hold it or convert it cash).
What holds me back is the NOSTR element, I think it's unnecessary at the moment, personally and adds another layer of complexity to creatives.
They want to make music, have people hear & enjoy it and garner more exposure.
IMO, this needs to be a simplified and easier process, and that is how I would approach it. I wouldn't bombard them with too much tech, that can come later & if they're interested.

What are you doing Friday evening? 😁
I get a lot of messages via Bandcamp and YT offering opportunities etc. I just assume they are all scams!
The "spammy" part is another issue I've thought much on. Figured some thing's out & the only way to know the results is to do the simplified reach out. So....TBD
Friday? Is there something going on? 🤷♀️ I'll make a note to listen in 😎
Oh, I may have my wires crossed about that?
Yeah, I'd find an email or other direct contact instead of going via the platforms wherever possible. That would seem less spammy for me.
@Joe Martin mentioned similar the other day, you could ask if you can play their song on your music podcast - don't even mention valueverse or anything. If they are interested you can go from there.
Your wires aren't crossed. I know there's a V4V Roundtable set up 🥸
I'll think on your points regarding emailing. I've got a few things together, just gotta do the reach out in a way that is comprehensive, yet, direct and to the point.
