WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SPONSOR?

Updated: Returning Sponsors please reread.

The list of song requests at MMM is enormous! I wanted to give yall some say in what content MMM is cranking out, so here it is: Sponsoring a Song. The running list is down below.

Assuming I’m good enough to learn and tab the song, assuming it’s appropriate to the MMM genres, and assuming I don’t find the song annoying ;) …

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Consider all song sponsorships as a donation; a basic way to support the channel by buying me some time to work on tunes. If I don’t end up doing your request just know you still bought me time to work on other MMM content for all our fellow pickers out there.

  • Donate any amount to get a song on the list.

  • Once a song hits $200 I'll prioritize getting a TAB done

  • Once a song hits $300 I’ll prioritize making a full video tutorial

  • Anytime I love a song on the list I end up making a video. Many people have lucked out and got a tab and even full tutorials for as little as a $20 sponsorship (see “past sponsors” down below)

If you’re only looking for a TAB and not a tutorial please make that clear. This takes me a considerably less amount of time and I’m much more likely to crank out a tab at a lower sponsorship amount. I’m also willing to tab things out that might not be totally relevant to MMM channel content.

Please note this is a donation and not a guarantee for said service. It's possible you may donate a few bucks for a song and no one else will. Therefore I might never get to doing a tutorial for said song. It’s also possible a song gets $300 sponsor, but because I think the song is to off genre, or that it simply sucks too much for me to dedicate 8+ hours on, I won’t do it. Final discretion is up to me. If you'll be offended then please do not donate! I am not refunding money. At least shoot me an email before any large donation amount and ask.

You can literally request whatever song you'd like, but keep in mind I'm really trying to gravitate this channel towards folk/county/fingerpicking material. Yall know I'm a decent guy and will try my best to at least tab out most of the songs people are throwing some coin towards, even if it never reaches the above dollar amounts.

Why sponsor and what is V4V model:

Mike's Music Method runs on the value for value model (v4v). I have no content behind a paywall and charge nothing for my tabs and tutorials. However, like everything in life, this does not mean the content is "free". The cost has been my time, talent, and treasure. The v4v model relies on the listenership (you reading this) to consider what value MMM brings to your life. How much of your treasure is Mike's talent and time worth in your life? How much of your talent (can you write an encouraging email, or help Mike with better camera tips and livestream tech advice)?

The beauty of the v4v model is that it remains accessible to anyone with access to a computer. Anyone in a financial dire straits situation can still access this great content and inspiration free of charge. It also eliminates as many middle men as possible. And it empowers the listener (you!) to determine how much MMM is worth as opposed to a fixed rate. Is MMM worth $10 a video? $40 a month? $100 a song learned? YOU get to decide. All the MMM content is currently ad free on Odysee. I dont want to be selling your time and attention to advertisers, so feel free to go there! You can also download the videos from there and watch off line using whatever video player you desire.
