That actually is about an average response ratio. And yes, you don't have to be a paid member to reply to a response, only to initiate the contact.
Keep in mind, many of the profiles are hit n run dreamers or just plane old posers looking for an on line thrill.
Two of our five members came from BandMix. We have gotten paying gigs by being associated with BandMix.
I messaged everyone within 50 miles of our base. I searched and monitored the situation almost daily for months.
Can be frustrating for a people so used to instant gratification.
Building a band requires much time and effort. Not a task for the faint of heart or weak of spirit. Don't allow yourself to lose faith.
Best wishes.
