I like how this is a twist on the old music label agent. Where artists would hound them with demos ande whatnots hoping to get discovered. One interesting take is the fact that artists are being charged money without much explanation as to what they will receive. I'm not implying that this is a scam. No sir. My point is that one should at least have more information available from the website. Maybe a little FAQ page would help convert those people who may have any doubt about this.
Now, artists are quite an unique market. They will gladly pay for this type of service. I'd say you should test charging more, because $20 dollars might come off as being too cheap. I think $99 is a good number to test. Enough to only bring in serious prospects and not hinder the aparent quality of your process.
The record labels list would be better served with their logos. Record labels are powerful brands. Artists dream with having those logos on their productions.
Though I'm curious about the business model here. I can assume you will take n amount from the profits of an artist whom you discover. Do you aim to represent the artist or merely just introduce them to people in the industry?
I hope you are ready to sort green M&Ms. ;)
- schlichtm 14y agoFAQ is a great idea. We're working on an updated design that includes record label logos, it looks MUCH better. You are correct on the business model. Green M&Ms, Yellow M&Ms, as long as they are making great content, whatever they want ;)
- orangethirty 14y agoI would not do the usual bulleted FAQ, by the way. You are dealing with artists, and for them the presentation is as important as the content. Also, you should research what makes artists anxious. Address that in your copy. For example: (Picture a website with an image of a backstage with some pretty sketchy looking folks in there). We know you don't want to be taken for a ride. That is why we work with select insdustry people. You will be introduced to them. If you feel uncomfortable, will have the choice to decide against working with them. Our aim is to create a good team that will propel you towards the top of the charts and not nickel and dime you over every aspect of your career. * And so on.
