What's Female-Musician.com All About?

Female-Musician.com is a place for women who play instruments from the past and present to be highlighted.

If you’re a woman who plays an instrument or are a vocalist, I’ll create a FREE listing for you that includes a few contact links and some descriptive words you’d like to include about yourself.  You can have a classified ad style listing or a full-page listing.  They're both free.  See the “Female Musicians’ Directory” page for more details.  Plus, I’ll include a video to highlight you or your band if you've uploaded one onto YouTube.  I’ll include the video within my YouTube Channel inside the section “Featured Female Instrumentalists”.

Why do I do this?  Well, I am a female bass player and a vocalist.  I'm very passionate about building Female-Musician.com and am having a great time seeing it through to its success!  

I don't consider myself a promoter or an agent.  I do consider myself a connector, and Female-Musician.com to be a way to help connect-the-dots by presenting valuable resources within the website. I've learned so much as I've been building it, and I want the services and information I can provide to increase the site's value for all its visitors.

Lend Your Support To Female-Musician.com

I have worked since 2009 to grow and improve Female-Musician.com and at the same time have dedicated myself to keeping it free for all the female musicians to have listings, both classified type and full-page.  I have also done all the promotions, site details, blog posts and literally everything myself to create an online presence to help every musician listed within it receive more exposure.

Because there are so many responsibilities involved with creating the type of vision I see for the website, I realize that it may be impossible for me to do it all myself successfully.  The fact that my last newsletter update was in 2011 is probably proof of that! :-)

I have set up a page inside the site that anybody who appreciates and sees the value in the site and the work that goes into it as well as those who just love to see a woman rockin' it out big time on her axe can show their support.

However, my way of asking for support is unique because I attempt to find ways that either give money back to supporters when they complete a certain action, or cost nothing to do and which will still help bring revenue to the site to help me keep it going and build it up.

Please, take some time to look at the page I've created for this purpose, and do what you can.  I have a very cool way for you to get $20 when you support the site, so you can't lose!  Thanks in advance.

Female-Musician.com's Classified Ad Section

Be sure to take a look at the free classified ad section within the website!  If you're a female musician, you can post what's going on with you under "Female Musicians Available".  If you're looking for a female musician, you can post your ad under "Female Musicians Wanted". Currently, the listings expire in 30 days.  The information you can put in there is pretty liberal such as URL's and images, but I definitely ask you to keep your content clean or be subject to deletion of the post.
