Just Plain Folks Member Demographic Survey 2001
This is where you will find the results of perhaps the largest and most in depth songwriter/artist survey ever conducted. If you ever wondered who our members are, what they think and do and who's services and products they prefer to use, this is the place to see for yourself. On the left and right you will find links to specific questions and topics.
- Our group is still the most evenly balanced Male and Female Music Organization in the World.
- 90% of our members are songwriters, making us one of the largest songwriters organizations in the world (if not the largest).
- 100% of our group is online and 81% has or is developing a website. If any group has the pulse of the online music community, it is Just Plain Folks.
- 86% of our members sing and record their own vocals. 62% play Acoustic Guitar, 45% play Midi Keyboards, 42% play Electric Guitar, 36% play Acoustic Piano, 26% Play Bass Guitar, 15% Play Drums and 6% use DJ Equipment to make music.
- Our members will spend between 50-70 Million Dollars on Music Equipment by the end of 2001. That's a lot of Drum Sticks, Guitar Picks, Bass Strings, Keyboard Stands and Midi/Sound Cables!
- Our members seem to support the Music Pubs. that write about us and get involved in our group. The good news is that so many fit that bill. And our on-line publication friends are doing very well, competing with the traditional print publications.
- Our members are passionate about a lot of different Music Manufacturers. 58 different companies surfaced in this year's survey and there were quite a few interesting differences (and similarities) among our males and females.
- As the Music Superstores expand across the country, they are gaining market share among our members over the local Mom and Pop's. We hope that they are willing to get involved in support of our local communities like the small stores have for many years. We welcome positive support from any of these companies, large or small, and will be happy to work with any who are interested.
- 68% of our members will release a CD in 2001 and they will make 20 Million copies of them. 49% are involved in a PRO. 44% are published songwriters. 70% either have or want a record contract.
