What have I learned from Ourstage?...well
If I'm in this for the money I might as well quit now, LOL

I put my song "Crazy Redhead Woman" which went to number 1 on soundclick (WITHOUT any promotion. I just put it there and it went to the top) in the acoustic channel.
Now I am sorry but that is a decent song, everyone has liked it. The production isn't the best but it isn't bad. The prosody is good and I sing on key.
Right now it is sitting at 522 out of 699 songs. below RAP, Bluegrass instrumentals, Rock, Metal, and any number of songs that should not even be in that category. There are songs well ahead of it where you cannot understand a single word of the song being sung. The singer is pitchy and off key, and the production sucks. Yet my song sits at the bottom of the pile.

If my songs can't do any better than this then I better rethink what I am doing. I think I am wasting my time.

I admit I am pretty new at this. I am NOT a performing artist and that may be the problem. I mainly focus on songwriting and Ourstage is really for Performing Artists.
I have noticed a few songs that are ranked pretty high that I am pretty certain are demos. The (Author) is not the singer and the music is done by a demo studio. I was not sure if you could do that.
Is it violating your Demo agreement to win money with the song? I know you are not supposed to sell the Demo.
