The G-team
G-team is the name used to refer to the
Gospel songwriters who use GospelSongwriter.Com.
We consider ourselves a team because we
all use GospelSongwriter.Com and our G-team membership to promote our
Gospel songs, and we have a common goal and desire to provide Gospel
music to Gospel music singers/artists for the Gospel community and
ministry and propagating the Gospel. |
|
How It Works
GospelSongwriter.Com and G-team
membership is not a music publishing company or service, nor
is it a social networking website; it is a song acquisition service that helps
connect our writers with artists who are looking for songs to review for
possible performance and recording.
Artists receive songs from G-team
members via two G-team services, which are our Writers
Directory and our Pitch Directory.
Writers Directory
If you visit our Writers
Directory you will see it leads to the G-team profile pages of
our writers. A profile page contains the writer’s photo, liner notes, a music
player and a contact form. Artists enter, via our Writers Directory, and
visit each profile page to learn about our writers, listen to their
songs and contact them regarding their songs.
Pitch Directory
Artists use our Pitch Directory as an
alternative to or in addition to our Writers Directory.
The artist enters our Pitch Directory
Song Request Form, via our Artist Service page. After completing and
submitting the request form (if the request is approved) the artist’s
request for songs is posted in our Pitch Directory. Our writers enter
the Pitch Directory to view the request and submit their songs to the
artist according to the information in the request.
Connect
So, be it via our Writers Directory or
Pitch Directory, GospelSongwriter.Com helps connect Gospel songwriters
with Gospel artists who are looking for Gospel songs to employ.

Membership Benefits
We have two membership levels, Silver and Gold.
Membership benefits vary per membership
level.
Membership benefits are described,
below, in the next table. Membership
benefits are compared, side by side, below, as well. Membership
isn't available for publishers, record companies, or such like. |
|
Profile
Page
Members have their own G-team profile page, which
is listed and accessible
in our Writers Directory.
Members are permitted and encouraged to
utilize and advertise their profile page when pitching and promoting
their songs. Artists can visit
each member's profile
page by visiting our Writers Directory and clicking on their names, or
by typing the member's Profile URL into an
internet browser and going directly to the member's G-team profile page. |
|
Profile URL
Members have their own GospelSongwriter.Com
Profile URL which is a webpage address
that leads to the member's G-team profile page.
The Profile URL includes the member's name...
Example:
www.gospelsongwriter.com/yourname
Members are are permitted and encouraged to
utilize and advertise their Profile URL when pitching and promoting
their songs.
|
|
Photograph
The profile page provides for a
photograph of the member, which helps our artists become acquainted with
the member.
Also, the photo helps artists feel more
comfortable about listening to and requesting songs from the member.
|
|
Liner Notes
Each member's profile page
includes Liner Notes, which is a section that displays biography and portfolio
information of the member.
Liner Notes help introduce the member
in a favorable way and helps lead our artists to the member's profile
music player and contact form.
Our administrator, Mickey Mixon,
formulates Liner Notes for all members, using the information they
provide him via our Liner Notes submission form.
|
|
Contact Form
The profile page includes
a contact form artists can use to e-mail members directly.
The form includes
Captcha which is a simple feature that helps stop e-mail address harvesting software, Spam sent
by Spam-bots, etc.
|
|
Public Player
The profile page
includes a MP3 music player which anyone visiting the profile page can
use to hear Gospel songs written by the member.
Although it is MP3, the player begins
streaming as soon as a sufficient amount of the song is loaded for
smooth streaming. |
|
Private Player
The Private Player is only available
for Gold G-team members.
Gold members have a Public and a Private
player via their profile page.
Unlike the Public Player, the Private
Player is only accessible via a password, entered via a text link on the Gold
member's profile page.
Gold members
can change their password anytime and often, and can use their private players for
“invitation only” reviews of their Gospel songs. |
|
Player Skinning
The appearance of the
music player is referred to as a skin.
Silver member players only have one skin.
Gold membership players have
five, interchangeable, skins to choose from and can be changed anytime by the Gold
member.
|
|
Song Slots
The music player has a
certain number of song slots, which means the player holds up to a
certain number of songs (song files).
Songs
can be up to approximately 5 minutes in length.
The amount of song slots is
determined by the membership level.
The Silver membership player provides
five (5) song slots.
The Gold membership Public player provides
ten (10) song slots, the Private player provides five (5) song slots, for a combined total of twenty (20) song slots.
