if i makie a soundie?

is me own websitey allowed to be in the descriptiony? or is that spammy?

i mgiht upload my own soundies but i dont want to force others to sign up to download them. so i would want to linky to my own websitey as well. so people can get them from there.

or maybe my soundies should be posty exclusively to my sitey under a CC-BY license that requires attributing to my websitey so that if others postey my soundies here, they are legally allowed but required to advertizy my websitey where a stupid login is not required.

Putting your website, Paypal donation link, etc. in a sound's description, or on your profile, is 100% fine. A lot of people do it.

Having to sign up for this site is a small price to pay given that they're providing you free infinite filehosting and also keeping track of who downloads what so that you have evidence in the event that someone copyright infringes you. This also helps creators know how well (and how frequently) their sounds are being enjoyed.

There are video tutorials on YouTube about how to download from this site without logging in, so that is an option, but again, creators won't get to know that such people like and use their stuff, or even that those fans are out there.

Just some thoughts!
