You're spot on with that analysis. 😀 I'm new to both Nostr and WavLake, so I'm still learning how to use them properly and promote efficiently. I'll DM you for some tips. Thanks again for your support!

After uploading my music to @nprofile…nr5s a few weeks ago, I'm pleased to see that not only am I receiving better money (sats) and more value compared to the pennies that services like Spotify were paying out, I'm also making real connections with people who are engaging with my songs. It's awesome to receive feedback via the messaging feature, and to grow an audience organically. 🎶

Over the past few months, I’ve been playing around with different apps to earn sats and redistribute to other creators. Here are the best ones I’ve found so far. Any suggestions on what else I should look into?
Nostr (social media)
Fountain (podcasting)
Wavlake (music streaming)
sMiles (earn sats for steps, bitcoin faucet, games, etc)
Simple Bitcoin (learn & earn)
ShakePay (like a Canadian version of Fold app for bitcoin rewards, etc)

A week ago I switched from X to Nostr, and I've realized that I'm a lot more comfortable posting on here. I think I used to be hesitant to be labeled as "the crazy bitcoin guy" by my normie contacts on X. But everyone is a crazy bitcoin guy on Nostr. 😄

I started using Wavlake around a week ago, and so far I'm really impressed! It's a great way to support independent artists.

Starting to orange pill my kids using these bitcoin trading cards I picked up at the Canadian Bitcoin Conference. Never too early to start learning about sound money. https://image.nostr.build/d03fbbeda0d8120614905b7c3471ef44e409a7e20c155272016154b7f8c4f1c0.jpg

Thanks for the nice welcome, and for checking out my music! Glad you enjoyed "This Light." If you'd like to see how that track was made, here's a video with some studio footage. I gathered a whole bunch of local artists to perform on it:

WBD was part of my weekly routine, and I learned a lot! What other good podcasts are people now switching to for bitcoin content?

I'm stoked to share my most recent single, "Where This River Goes," and to continue exploring the many use cases for the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Big thanks to the random @nprofile…s2vg I met on Reddit, who urged me to join Nostr and to share my music on Wavlake!

Here's my #proofofwork
Seedor seed phrase stamping. Tedious as hell, but worth the effort. https://image.nostr.build/1327098441cf723b0fb560b9965093ecbf87d7c2833b86508f9d7a5f8343d7ad.jpg

What's up, Nostr! I'm new here, but have been in the bitcoin world since 2018. I plan on using this space to meet other bitcoiners, continue to dive further into the rabbit hole, and also share music from my solo project, Vestigial Hearts. Looking forward to it!

I'll be checking out Wavlake in the next few days, so I hope to be able to share my music with everyone soon!

Thanks for the introduction! I've been in bitcoin since 2018, but I'm new to lightning and all the different use cases. I look forward to connecting with people here on Nostr.
