Here's what we're thinking:
- If your music isn't good enough to go viral yet then we can provide you with feedback on how to improve and reach that point.
- If your music IS good enough to go viral the we want to promote you, get you press, get you featured on YouTube, Ustream, etc (these are all things we can do very easily if your music is good - we already have these relationships).
- If you are really taking off we can help you monetize this growth in very interesting and artist/fan friendly ways. When you reach this stage we will enter into a production style agreement and take a % of the revenue we generate you. This is where we make our money and NOT on the original $20.
Concerns:
- If we don't charge we will be bombarded, like you pointed out, with low quality content. This is a problem we want to avoid.
- If we don't charge then we will be paying artists to review your content out of our own pocket.
Question: What would this site have to say so that when you saw it, as a musician, your reaction was "Holy shit I have to do this and would be stupid not to"?
- abeh 14y agoIf I was an artist considering this, I would want to see a video of the reviewing artist as they listened to my song. I would want to see their facial expression, and see that the reviewer seems like they know what they are talking about. Also, if I could listen to the music of the reviewing artist, I could judge if the review has any merit.
- schlichtm 14y agoNoted.
- flipside 14y agoCan you provide more detail on your feedback model? Are you crowdsourcing feedback? How many people are spending how much time/effort per song? What criteria are songs judged on and how complete is the feedback? What is the minimum amount of feedback artists can expect? Basically, make it clear what the $20 is buying. If you would like to talk more about any of these things, feel free to email me (listed on my info page), crowdsourced ratings are kinda my thing.
