I just finished building a website for a composer who wants to focus on video games, and I want to share the thinking behind it. Here's the thing: Video game developers are nerds (in the best way). They spend their days building worlds, characters, and stories. If you want to work with them, you need to fit into that world. So instead of a generic "hire me" composer page, we built something that feels like it belongs in a game. What we did: The headline doesn't say "Professional Composer for Hire." It says: "Your players will pause the game just to listen to this." Instead of a boring bio section, we created a Character Profile — complete with "proficiencies" like Orchestral, Ambience, Combat, Sound Design, Adaptive. You know, like the stat sheets you'd see in an RPG. The call-to-action buttons? "Begin Your Quest" and "Summon Character." The music section is called The Chronicles with a custom player that keeps people ON the page (not sending them off to SoundCloud where they disappear forever). And at the bottom? "Accept the Quest" with a booking calendar. Why this works: When someone clicks a button and starts an action, they psychologically want to finish it. A pop-up form after "Summon Character" feels like the next logical step — not an interruption. Everything stays on ONE page. No maze of subpages. No "click here for film, click here for ads, click here for games, oh and also I do pottery." If you want to work in video games, dress like a video game composer. Go deep into ONE industry instead of spreading yourself thin across everything. If you want a landing page like this - targeted to your specific niche, no monthly fees, no hosting costs, no "powered by" logo anywhere - I will create and set it up for you. $147 one-time. That's it. You own it. Drop a comment, DM me if you're interested, or check out this link to see my services. https://risewithalex.com/ (scroll down to "Your Industry-Specific Landing Page")

I'm planning to create an online workshop on a music topic and later sell it passively. How can I prevent others from simply copying my content (texts, structure, presentations) and selling it themselves?Are there any legal protections or practical measures I can take? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Was wondering if everyone sends out batch introduction emails of 50+ or if they send out a few at a time? I sent out my first few (5) emails a couple of days ago but my list is at about 50. I just don’t want spam people lol *Additional question: when you email are you scheduling it for a specific time to land in their inbox at a certain time? Does it matter?

So I have been looking at Reddit (r/INAT) and posted there around how I want to my services for free to learn more about game scoring but no cigar yet. I am also looking at Game Jams to see if I can find something. Are there any places I should look at to find teams that may need music scoring for free in exchange for me learning on the go? Thank you in advance! ~M

Hi, everyone! I would like to know your opinion and so pick 'em up about the two main Audio Engines out there! I learned both, there are two completely different logics, personally I found FMOD more intuitive, but Wwise has got really more functions! What do you think about it?
