Do U want to Link some Bucks to your Music?

Hello Everyone!

In this so called web 2.0 revolution a lot of different things happened in several and differentiated quadrants of on line activities and resources. In what touches to the Internet Music World, some good new approaches are making all the difference for the world wide music labor force..the musicians.

For example the Ning communities, that allowed a lot of indie promoters to achieve their place and express their visions to the music world. The revolution of mentalities that is changing the rules of the relationship of the music product with the music sites, and the consequent reward of the artist. Of course, we are talking about cents for the majority of us, but...one cent here...another there...make some dollar more. Tunesquare for example, had a good model, where they split a cake, in shares relatively to the number of total site downloads. making the split in function of the number of each band downloads. After six months was unsustainable to still kept sponsors, as the mentor of the site said, due to the fact of the lack of projection of the site in the rankings and indexes of marketing internet.

Muzzogle.com for example paid the users to make reviews, while the artist can also be rewarded by each streaming thta is done from their music, but for that you have to subscribe a specific paid membership. Last.fm also presented us some months ago, their spit of the ad revenue, paying the artist for each streamed track directly from the artist page, however, the majority of the users don´t listen music in the artist pages, they use the last.fm player.

Reverbnation is also attracting the attentions of signed and unsigned artists, not only for their growing exposure, but also for their fair-share program, where they split the advertisement revenues with the artists, calculated with some unknown formula, at least for the common mortal, that is calculated from the exposure of your reverbnation page, and the expression of the use of widgets in blogs, web pages etc.

There are some more sites that also have some kind of rewarding program for artists, and while i´m writing this post, maybe a couple more can just open doors...as we all wish that in a near future more sites can reward the artists for the fruit of their work.

Following the philosophy that the few sites that reward the artists i assimilated one simple idea, based in the same principles.

After all... you are the one that in 90 por cent of the cases will have the hard work to promote and try to get visitors to your page and listen to your music...

Why can´t you make your own penny split revenue, fruit of your own hard work?

but now you can :) check this two examples below

This program the provides this tool is in the start and it was not designed intentionally for musicians, but mainly for another growing market that is exploding, the online marketing and home business, nevertheless when i saw it at work, i thought, why can´t the artist use it too? after all, it is direct penny earning for the artist, without much intermediaries than the supplier of the service. And after all, the sites that are paying, why are they paying? because they are sharing the advertisement revenue with you. Why can´t you do it too?....you can :)

<<<*Link Bucks*>>>

Of course this will raise some ethical issues for some, but after all, you only are going to use it if you decide so, and think only of this thought, if music sites use advertisement as a way to earn money, and the users are already used to the concept, why can´t you use it too? well, it will be a decision to each one mind, but now you know the option :)


Wish you all a great day, and success!
