Get Paid to Listen to New Music



Ok so this is real. You get paid to listen to new music. Granted, it's not $100 per track, but still. You get paid to listen to new music.

Brought to you by our friends at Music Xray, this initiative is designed to help musicians get feedback from avid music fans, who will set up a free profile which outlines their tastes and preferences. The music fan will then get tracks emailed to them, which are tailored to their specific taste, and will be asked to rate the tracks sent to them. Then, each rated track will earn the fan around 10 cents.

Sounds cool, yes?

It's completely free to register and join in.

Analysis- This is a very persuasive blog. It uses a retorical question but answers it within the question "sounds cool, yes?" This is the same as telling the audience that it is cool but by writing it in this way it makes the audience think about it and persuade them to get involved. It uses positive words that appeal to the audience such as 'free'. This word is repeated which reinforces the idea and appeals more to them. At the start of the blog it says 'Ok so this is real' the writer is trying to convey the idea that it is so amazing that it's hard to believe in order to convince the audience. However it doesn't exaggerate the main points of what they have to do or the '10 cents' that it is offering per song as this isn't very convincing and in reality it's a complete waste of time.
