OVERVIEW
Lyrical Line is the largest songwriting community
on the Web and plans to be around for years to come.
This 7-year-old site averages about 750,000 page views per month,
with traffic increasing at a steady rate. Lyrical Line is referenced
all over the Internet and is the preferred site in many of the
search engines' songwriting sections, and we are referenced on
the radio and print publications in various cities each week,
making it a focal point of the online songwriting community.
The most compelling reason to advertise with Lyrical
Line beyond the fact that we began as a resource
(which means that our subscribers trust us and our
intentions) is our ability to offer the most targeted
concentration of songwriters, singer-songwriters
and musicians online. Lyrical Line was founded by
an Internet professional, Rob Van Slyke, whose sole
purpose in designing the site (from a
business perspective) was to encourage repeat visits and
loyal subscribers. Just ask around on the Internet.
Lyrical Line is sure to be mentioned.
Through our questionnaire, we know that about 20%
of our subscribers are published and the great majority
of them play an instrument. Many mention that they
are either seeking to improve their songwriting
abilities or are searching for ways to increase
the visibility of their songs.
Lyrical Line also hosts I Write The Songs, an Internet radio show.
It is broadcast to 10 million people each week. Ask about rates
for this page or on the show itself.
