STEPPING BACK FROM FACEBOOK

Hey Everyone--
This is a multiple announcement here for me, but mainly it's to let you know I am pulling back from using Facebook as my primary way to communicate with you. For the longest time I have been using Facebook as a partner in my little cottage business. I was under the false impression that the 14,000 followers I gathered here were my audience, but truthfully, you are not. You belong to Facebook, not me. Every important post for my business that may have a link to a song, a site or a video is restricted by their bots, their restrictions, and their algorithms.

In order for me to reach all of you, I literally have to spend $1,000 a post. As I will on this one. And, why am I partnering with a company that provides no human interaction when issues arise? And the word "followers" is not a descriptive word for what you are here, because how can you follow any artist if you never get their posts? The average post of mine gets under 1,000 views, and the remaining 13,000 of you never see it, unless I pay an extraordinary amount of money to a company that doesn't care. I will still exist here but more to find people outside of my 14,000 followers. Facebook will become a tool and less of partner from here on out.

So to cut to the chase-- Please follow me at the following places if you consider yourself to be a true "follower"! If you want to follow me, I have been leaving crumbs for you here!

PATREON-- I created this site for people to receive my new original music, archival recordings from the past thirty years, my live streams, my artwork, and my musings. It's not a charity, though I appreciate the idea and the support! It's like a one man Netflix, and it is the new home for my little cottage business. Patrons get special concerts, one on ones, discounts on merch and even occasionally stuff in the mail. I made it cheap, it's the lowest they'd let me go on Patreon, and even at that level, I post multiple times a week for only $1.
BE A PART OF ELLIS’ CREATIVE LIFE and THE TRAVELING MEDICINE SHOW at PATREON: www.patreon.com/ellispaul (for as little as $1/month!)

If you'd like something for free-- Sign up for the email connection at my website and also on Spotify, Instagram, Twitter-- you can sign up for all of them there at my website as well-- These are free of course, and though you won't get recordings and art, I will tell you when those things, and any special events are coming out!
