It's been quite a few years now since I decided to start uploading ukulele music. As I complete more tabs, they've all just started to pile up and get lost in a sea of poorly categorized image uploads on facebook. I've run into a situation where I get a few messages a week from newcomers expressing their frustration with trying to locate a particular arrangement I've posted and asking for help. It is clear that posting an image of the sheet music is certainly not the best method, but it is by far the cheapest and simplest so it's what I've been doing.
I think I've found myself at a fork in the road where I can choose to either stagnate or improve whatever it exactly it is that I am trying to do here with my online presence. I have been gaining a bit of traction in terms of reaching more and more viewers on facebook and youtube, and I genuinely want to do right by everyone by offering the best possible experience that I can. A website seems to be the best option. But of course, everything costs money. I have a family, kids included, so I have to budget accordingly. That being said, I have zero intentions of ever selling my arrangements; It has always been my desire keep everything free out of a genuine love of music. If anyone has any suggestions on how to keep this website afloat long term, I am all ears! I know that monthly-donation type services such as Patreon exist, but I've never had much success with those platforms. Regardless, I would love as much feedback as possible on the new website. I know these sorts of personal sites are dime-a-dozen when it comes to ukulele, so I very much appreciate any and all of the support!
