lolzzz you've got it all wrong bro. everything here is just scattered!
I would have love to enlighten you on every aspect, but the thing is I'm a lazy typer. guess we'll have wait for someone to explain.
But i'll leave you with 1 thing to think about though..........

Incase you talking of Wordpress.org, are you sure you are WELL knowledgeable on why you don't want it?

CLIQBOY:
PM Me from my profile, spammers has already destroy my email

done

CLIQBOY:
I've use this script before. What problem are you facing?

Wonderful. drop your email bro.

overtlyderanged:
Lol right. I've pointed out the flaw in your reasoning, make of it what you will.

you sound like someone that will only learn html and css3 then declare themselves "professional Web developer/designer"
i'm done with you.

overtlyderanged:
Lol, do I sound flustered to you? Smh

you act like you are. cause I see my use of "pros" in that manner is making you uncomfortable. lol

overtlyderanged:
Lol this is not a matter of badass, it's a case of whether the developer has had some sort of experience using phpsound or not.

Like saying a developer knows their way around yii2 and laravel as a result of accumulated experience from learning and usage but has a weak idea of how cakephp works because they have never bothered with it, does that judge their level of skill? I think not.

like I said "vast knowledge"
if you've got no experience with it then keep calm.
And again it's not a must to have an experience in that particular type of script. the person that built it didn't learn a special kind of PHP or coding to come up with it. it all lies in your creativity and skills.

#BadAss

first of all, i'm not that knowledgeable of what a script is or what it does. what I know is that I intend to create a site, but i'm at halt now due to I learnt that the script(so they call it) I want to use is a stand- alone script. I intend to integrate this script with other features I want on the website, but after some contacts and questions i'm beginning to find it almost impossible. Maybe it's because i'm sort of a newbie and the so called "pros" i've met aren't that BadAss.

The name of this Script is PhpSound(look it up)

I'm looking for a webdeveloper/designer with a vast knowledge in Coding especially in PHP to strike out a deal.

Thank you.

a "Physical Slap" button that if clicked an agent of your website will go to that persons location and knack that person a heavy slap. it will stop all these trolls on social media that just love to insult and vex other people.

the colour looks too feminine to me. try using something like dark purple(you can browse it) for the header and other places you used pink.

lol why una wan turn this guy 2 mumu. sotey booyakasha add "are you even smart?" adohdie!! he just wana help by what he thinks.

just learnt further that PhpSound is a stand-alone script. Would want something that can be like it, but still have other features.

make una help a bro abeg

for songs and project work I usually go beyond the first page, and sometimes I find a more detailed explanation on what i'm searching for beyond the first page. good SEO doesn't always mean you're the most contentful, accurate or knowledgeable about what you're writing/blogging on.

I want to build a site like www.reverbnation.com , but don't know how. something that people can upload and share their songs. I saw a script called PhpSound (u can browse it), has anyone used it? or can anyone create something similar or better?

And again, for those that have a music download site like tooxclusive.com and not just ok, how do you guys prevent copyright issues?
Thanks.

talk2cj08:
1. Is it going to be a free download site like notjustok.com or are coming into the market with a different concept
2. Do u hope to charge for your services (download)if yes how do u intend to pay royalties, is the royalty going to be basis of after sells or upfront

yes, free download site like notjustok, but with a very different approach, and no I would not charge for download, but upload by upcoming artistes in a particular "section" on the website(which also comes with other perks).

twdesign:
Nice Question Indeed?

Firstly I must say is a nice feeling being able to attracts the world with your music trending website, mostly wen it come to music/videos download for free.

Going INTL’ ?

I would advise you paying for some Piracy Policy.
As this would help your website not being blocked, even by your Hosting Service Provider!

You can start this way!

Have a lot of millions of Nigerian/African music in your Library.
Then create a Page. - e.g International Musics
Make it look like is a promo page to advertise newly listed American or Uk songs.

Start gradually, with being a promo page for about 2-3months. And after you must have received a lot of traffics from the US/UK and Global, then you can start including more Genres to the international Pages. Example ; BLUES - CLASSIC – COUNTRY MUSIC – POP – ELECTRO and more….

You can use trusted Hosters like Godaddy, Namesheap (this is my main hoster).

Hints: you need to have a lot of African Music on your Library to beat other Musical Sites in Nigeria or Africa as a whole, and the Downloading should be UserFriendly (easy download) !!!!

Hints: you should know that this will require alot of your time, being Full-Time, Or you can pay some real Blogger Developers to assist you on updating it as well. for i would have love to assist you but i don't Blog, i only specialize on PHP Script writing and Advance Website Developer with South-African Lights.

Hints: Average Nigerian Network Bandwidth are too poor in responding to website with too much in it. Also try to use a Template that attracts visitors and the transcripts are responding to networks @ once, without having to load for too much time.

Final Hints: You need beat the Music Markets Website of Nigeria/Africa within the first three months of publishing before you start competing with international musical websites. and i'll strongly advice you to use a .COM extension. and your Hosting Provider must have a 99.0 or 99.5% server Uptime. as it will be annoying users to visit and refuse to respond to internet.

Thanks and wishing you the best . . .

Thank you very much!!

Geez! I just noticed now that I made FP, and this is my 1st topic on nairaland!!

Thank you all for your thoughts and insight on this topic so far. I am happy.
but I was thinking lately, what if I target Africans?

And for my domain name, should it be a little indigenous or plain official? e.g having "naija"(That is if i'm to go with the nigerian audience), using a nigerian slang(9ja audience too) or I should just make it plain official( 9ja or global audience)
Thank you

Panshow:
I will advise you to focus mainly on Nigeria contents. Competition out there is damn too high. If you say you want to make it a worldwide thing and feature foreign music, it's still okay but know that you will be competing with the big boys like Pandora, SoundCloud, spotify etc. Though I don't know if your own pattern will be similar to those ones or you may take a different approach, but one thing is certain, be ready for serious competition.

Secondly, those sites I mentioned up there, though they are known worldwide, but they mostly don't feature Nigeria or African content (just few of them) and that's where you'll fill in the gap.

Thirdly, if you decide to make it a worldwide thing by featuring just everything music, believe me, the task will be overwhelming and you will eventually be exhausted sooner or later. But if you focus on just Nigeria contents only, you'll have all the time to focus on doing just one thing, and that's to promote Nigeria music only. If you do it well, you may end up creating the best Nigeria music site in the world and directly or indirectly, you have created a website that's known worldwide.

For the hosting, I know most foreign hosting companies do offer unlimited storage and bandwidth, but I'll advice you go with reputable ones like bluehost or godaddy. This is purely my opinion though.

very much appreciated, sir.

Appland:
You should make use of.com extension,have a category that will have american musics... Subcategory hippop, jaz etc, Nigerian music Subcategory same thing here....

thank you

DeanSim:
It depend on your website mission. Since it content is for Nigerians, go for the top-level domain, .ng
As regards hosting, you can check siteground.com. They're friendly to bloggers.

do they support video/audio streaming? thank u

folks4luv:
my advice, don't despise d days of little beginning, start with Nigeria brand but make it a goal to go global. if ur voice is not loud enough in Nigeria, how will those in even Benin republic hear u?

lol. thank you very much

Vince77:
I had same tots sometime ago. Was reli thinking of making it a worldwide thing if im gonna hv music from all over the world on the site. But if u want only nigerian music on it then i think u should shld make it a naija tin for Nigerians to capture it easily.

thank you.

NigerianScholar:
Please make it nigerian targeted. If u make it worldwide targeted it will be too much and you wont be able to cope. There r too many songs being released worldwide and your site would be getting updates every second. You cant provide all genre of music. You have to target a specific part. Eg gospel,hip hop, soul etc. Dont do more than three genre
And downloading free music i.e(distributing music online for free) in sum countries. Eg uk us. Is illegal....research on it. So....help develop nigerian music. Take after tooXclusive.com. See how they do their things. And emulate. Once in a while u can throw in american songs trending in nigeria. Eg work by rihanna

much appreciated sir.

NigerianScholar:
Greedy op. He is the op and ftc

bros no vex o. never thought it that way, was just nervous when I made the topic so when I saw people only viewing with no comment, I decided to beg.

egwekwe:
We really don't care if you target a Nigeria market or worldwide.

What we really care about is the current situation of things in Nigeria.

When you start earning money,will you also come back here for our advice on how to spend it?

I never thought of it this way, all I seek is assistance which I believe in one or two ways you also have sought for.

my people biko o

Hello. please, i'm torn in between creating a nigerian targeted website or worldwide. I want to create a music/video download/stream website which will also have some musical related features. I'm confused on whether to brand this website a website mainly for nigerians with nigerian music, contents and features or whether to make it a worldwide thing.

And again, which web host do you think is suitable for my kind of website? *Note it will require a lot of music/video upload and download including a streaming feature.
I am a newbie to blogging, It would really gladden me if some of you expert bloggers and website owners would give me some advise, tips and tricks to get me going in my newly embarked journey.
thank you and God bless you.
