I understand your point,
but if you have a great christmas song but it competes with 1 billion Christmas songs that are not so good, and yours it’s on 158 page after search… it not so cool. But if 1 billion songs will be deleted, now you dont have competition and since you already produced once a great Christmas song you can produce a new one it will be faster to find from search and it will compete with only new Christmas songs. not billions of older…
Maybe I’m wrong, I know it sounds rude… to delete something that somebody worked on… but what a clean place will be AJ after that. And what for good new authors and good old authors what a great place for profit.
Not a wise idea for me.
Sometimes you can easily sell some broadcast license for one of your h̶i̶g̶h̶ ̶q̶u̶a̶l̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶r̶t̶i̶s̶t̶i̶c̶ outsider tracks with 0 sales. You never know!
I understand, I mean the tracks with no sales after 6 months… or ok 1 year… you know it can be a great track, but if 1 year no sale , that doesn’t mean the track its not good… that means customers just cant’ find it… and this track just make more difficult to find other tracks.
Don’t worry about that - customers can’t find your track after 10 days with no sales already no way that track can make other tracks more difficult to find after a year.
I sold items that had no sales after a month or two. This means some tags still works, and that means that an 1 year old item with no sales posible have some tags, and it can be found from search… but just no one wanted to buy it… so delete it! or maybe should we delete all items that : `
have visits in analytics but have zero sales after a year ?
Do not agree with you here, i have enough examples of how items sells without initial good start. So this is all about external promotion and pinch of luck.
Well I think if account is inactive for sure - and we can fact check that for example in this way: pop up a notification to author saying that your item was highly inactive in a last 50 years and we will delete it in 30 days. And if author is active and decides to keep it - it’s his right to do so. But if account is inactive or ‘dead’ - such track should be cleaned up as a browse cache.
Well I agree with you too! Surely it won’t work like this in 100% situations, as I’m sometimes also sell some old items as well. But what I’m telling here is they are really deep in a search and I imagine that customer digging through a lot of additional data on the left to find it. At least it’s not so easy to find and not every customer have patience for that, that’s why the popular items continue to be popular.
Update: self promotion on external websites work as well but not as good as internal at AJ, at least my stats show that very clear.
I don’t know what to think. Probably the quality will be better, but now there will be a bigger gap between Elite authors and other authors. Elite authors are , in most cases, on the stock for 3+ years , and now they can compose and upload more tracks than new authors , so they will probably sell even more … The time will tell…The journey begins !
it will be faster to find from search and it will compete with only new Christmas songs. not billions of older…
no way that track can make other tracks more difficult to find after a year.
