seems like it shoulda really taken off for independent artists.

  Mmm, if you look at the site it's really not that surprising it didn't take off. http://zillionears.com/ http://zillionears.com/ Landing on that site and seeing the big 'Create Sale' button is pretty confusing. I don't think 'oh this is a site for musicians to sell their music directly to fans'. It also claims I can use 'social sales' but is that a meaningful term? I've never heard it before and it sounds pretty buzzwordy. edit: Just watched the video on the front page and I can easily believe that only 1 out of 1700 people thought it was worth bothering with. The execution just seems awful.

    Completely agree. This doesn't show much knowledge for the music industry. The huge call to action button and the blond girl are just a bit demeaning for someone who is trying to establish their name to their fans

    Maybe I didn't have my morning coffee yet, but the video seemed to be too disrespectful of musicians.

      That was my interpretation as well and I didn't like "sell your sh!t" thing. I don't think a musician would like his art to be called shit.

        Also, a small baggie of drugs or something from McDonalds is not the recommended way to generalise how musicians spend their distribution cheques :p
