I. "Sell 65% More Music With 1 Add-On To Your Website"

By Kenny Love


Even though language translation software has been
available for several years now, few website owners
are using it. And, perhaps, even fewer musicians are
using it as well.

This is, I suspect, largely because the benefits of this
particular tool has not been widely promoted or
publicized yet, and is still considered more of a
website embellishment than a business necessity.

This is ironic because, even though the Internet/World
Wide Web literally and figuratively presents us to the
world via our websites instantly, most of us simply
present our site information in our native languages.

Yet, in limiting our sites to our native languages, we are
significantly decreasing our opportunities to not only
show our interest in other cultures and their respective
languages, but we are also eliminating our chances to
create lifetime foreign customers, clients and their
respective sales.

As an example, while a good portion of the world speaks
the language of English to some degree, other "first
language" persons would, obviously, prefer and feel more
comfortable in being able to review a website's content in
their native language.

If you are an English speaking person, simply consider
how you feel when you access a website that is in a
language that you do not understand. It can be a
struggle to understand, and you are very likely to simply
exit the site without further review.

However, in this particular instance, this situation does
not only apply to English-speaking musicians, but from
my experience of reviewing music websites in other
languages, it applies largely to non English sites as well.

However and again, it does appear that cultures
outside of English speaking markets tend to make more
of an effort to reach out to English speaking markets by
presenting their websites in, at least, the English
language as an alternative.

Statistics reveal that by not having language translation
software installed on websites, regardless of the sites'
native language, website owners may be losing as much
as 65% in sales of their products or services because
these particular markets are not even aware of the sites.
This is a great disservice to both the website owner as
well as to the prospective website visitor.

In this age of the Music industry, with all of its
continuing uncertain aspects, musicians and recording
artists can utilize all of the assistance and information
available to not only continue their music sales, but to
continually increase music sales as well.

Now, regardless of what you currently earn from your
music annually, imagine what a 65% increase of fans,
a number of who are likely to translate into buyers,
could do for your annual income.

Also, consider how beneficial your having established
a relationship with your foreign fans via having their
native language available on your site can tremendously
benefit you should you tour their country.

Therefore, if you would like to learn more information on
how language translation software can greatly serve to
instantly increase your music sales, as well as serve to
create foreign lifetime customers, please see our
