Megaupload made the bulk of it's money from upselling customers into premium accounts.
The only way to make good money from ads is if the ads are relevant for the people who come for the content. I can't imagine many relevant ads for people who are coming to a new record label's site for a particular band. They'd probably make more money selling band t-shirts.
- notahacker 15y agoFor a record label with a big catalogue of artists that don't attract many paid downloads, selling premium accounts probably isn't the worst revenue model, at least until it comes to deciding who deserves royalties...
- Jimmie 15y agoAllow the customer to assign weighted values to who gets the money from their premium service. Or if it's a streaming service divide it among the artists that were actually listened to.
