Songwriting Tips For Writing Lyrics

Songwriting Tips For Writing Lyrics

In order to become a great, professional songwriter, you must devote as much time and energy to your songwriting as you would to any other career.  It requires applied study, dedication and commitment.

The songwriting process need not be in any particular order. Some folk write lyrics before the music, others will start with the music, and others write them at the same time, flitting from one to the other. Whether you prefer to begin with the lyrics or the music, the words should give the listener a picture of the theme or tale.

You can begin by thinking about the feel or vibe of the song you are going to be working on.  Decide the aura, style and a vague outline of what you want the song to portray.  A smart next step can be looking for the title of the song, which may or may not be used within the songs actual lyrics but should give a good idea of the theme or the general concept.  The chorus should really contain the hook and it ideally should be relevant to the title of the song, as the chorus is what stands out both lyrically and musically. It’s the feature that people will remember most.

On occasion it can be beneficial to write something that isn’t a song. It can greatly assist the creative process, because you are free from the demands for form and structure, no rules to constrain you and, in addition, no hooks.

Help with inspiration

A superb piece of advice for every songwriter is to pay attention to what is happening all around them!  Listen to the things people say, what makes them laugh, look at how they interact with each other. What type of song would be interesting to these people?

Another resource for topics and inspiration for songs is quotations, a good one can give a song such direction. Try doing a search for quotations on google, search for email subscriptions or forums, there are lots of them online. Alternatively get yourself out in the fresh air (people-watching as you go) and (search for a book of quotations at the local library or bookstore.

5 Quick Tips To Be More “Google-able”

5 Quick Tips To Be More “Google-able”

Being found in Google has become one of the most important aspects of running a business (and a business website), and it’s something that I work to accomplish on a daily basis.  However, establishing better local results through Google is as simple as a 5 step process:

Submit To The Listings Of Google — Google provides a great business service through Google Places.  You are able to provide hours of operation, photos, videos, coupons, and various product offerings.  But, in this past month, Google Places has added the following: (1) Service Area – you can now show geographic areas that you serve, (2) Advertise through tags, and (3) real time updates.
Brighten the Beacon Through Directories — One of the best ways for Google to find you is through your use of directories.  The easiest way to do this is search for the top 50 free business directories, and submit your information to 5 each day for 10 days.  This will make the process easier to complete and less tedious.  To start, you can visit www.dmoz.org.
Research Your Competition — The bottom line to this is that you do not want to reinvent the wheel, but you want to create a better/more efficient wheel than your competition.  So, spend a day and research what categories and keywords your competition is using.  This will allow you to see what is working for them as well as how you can deliver better quality content.  Now that you have that information, you can hammer home user generated unique content.
Encourage Reviews – You have a unique opportunity with your business in that you can encourage and promote reviews on social media sites.  Google has a section in the Google Places page where people can leave reviews and critiques of your services, but it doesn’t end there; City Search is a great place to utilize if you are in a major city, and Twitter is another (more public) place to encourage people to review.  My suggestion, though, is to give them some sort of direction (i.e. Provide a specific hashtag to use on Twitter so that you can use that to promote your business as well).
Back To Basics — Venture back to the basic idea of anchor texts and internal links.  Anchor down the locational keywords (i.e. restaurant in Denver with your home page, and utilize those directional keywords).  You cannot undervalue the internal links that you create through your own site as well as commenting on other social media sites with your locational keywords linked back to your page.

These quick tips are enough to get your local results through Google to improve, but remember that you always want to be improving on what you already have.  So, stay tuned and stop in frequently to see what other information we can produce to help you help your business.

Twitter for Business Building and Lead Generation (or as I prefer to call it, relationship building) – Part 2 of 2, Communicating with Your Followers

Twitter for Business Building and Lead Generation (or as I prefer to call it, relationship building) – Part 2 of 2, Communicating with Your Followers

As a business building tool for your relationship based business (is there really any other kind?) Twitter can be used to introduce yourself to people with shared personal and business interests, get into a “conversation” with them and ideally build a relationship with them as any combination of client, team member and friend.

As mentioned in the first article in this series regarding building your list of whom you’re following and your followers, there are automated ways to communicate with everyone, that there are pros and cons to automated tools, and they can always be augmented with manual (i.e. real interaction).

Direct Message Box

 

When someone is nice enough to follow you in twitter, even if in response to you following them, basic good manners suggest you thank them.  So please do respond to them.  If you are using automated means to build your lists, you will quickly be overwhelmed with too many messages to personally respond to.  This is when automated tools are helpful.  All of the twitter tools mentioned in the first article, Tweetspinner, Twello, and Social Oomph (my favorite) as well as many others will work.  No matter the tool you choose, they will each have a tool to automate your responses to your direct messages.  Part of setting up the automation in any of these tools, is preparing a list of 140 character responses, thanking those that follow you. The set up and configuration of your list might vary from site to site, but the idea is the same for every tool. In your 140 character messages, remember that folks are following you because you’ve expressed interest in what they are up to.  Continue that interest in your responses.  Remember, you are at the very beginning of building a relationship with them.  Don’t try to sell your opportunity too soon.  That said, feel free to include shortened links to your business sites (bit.ly will help here, shortening your links so you can make the best use of your 140 characters) in a context of shared interest, rather than premature, hard selling.

As you are thanking others for following you, you will receive many thank you messages as well. This is where the relationship building continues.  Reach out to those thank you notes that most resonate with you.  Ask them how they are using Twitter to market their businesses.  Offer an introductory free consultation.  Send them a complementary bit of content.  Check in with them occasionally to see how they are.  You know, just like you would with a friend.

Yea! Your list is building nicely, you’re seeing more traffic to your website, your conversion rate from Twitter is improving nicely.  Now your inbox is swamped.  These same tools will help you quickly purge your direct message box.

Tweeting

 

Because the purpose of social networks in general and Tweeting in particular, this is where the relationship building really begins.  Regular tweets are the ticket.  Ideally, several times a day.  Again, the tools listed above can automate this process as well with the usual pros/cons. Automated tools have a similar spinning message feature mentioned in the Direct Message section. This spinning messages will be in a similar format of a list of 140 character messages. To be compliant with Twitter rules (and thus keeping your account open) the ratio of marketing tweets to non-marketing is about 1:4.  Marketing tweets would include those that link back to your business sites, blogs, videos, etc.  You also want to build a long list of tweets, as Twitter doesn’t take kindly to excessive repetition of messages.  I would started with a list of 20 tweets, with a 1:4 ratio of marketing to to non-marketing tweets, and build your list 20 tweets a day and reload your list into whatever tool you’re using.  Another part of automating your tweets is to set up scheduling and frequency of your tweets.

As with everything discussed so far, just because you automate a fair amount of your Twitter marketing efforts, you and your followers will be well served with manual tweets from you.  Read what other people are tweeting about.  If someone shares something interesting to you, share the love and re-tweet.  Remember, this is a social medium.  So go be social!

Next Steps

 

Now that you have the basics of building your list of followers by following those with similar interests as you and building relationships with that list using a combination of automated tools and good old fashioned manual effort, you can start experimenting with marketing your business on Twitter.  As you become more comfortable with the tools, you will naturally progress to fine tuning your marketing message to better coordinate with your other marketing platforms and campaigns.

So go forth, get out there and introduce yourself to people, share your information, build the relationships and build your business and have a great time doing it.
