  At KiteBit we recently pivoted to the music market. Selling music, concert tickets & merch. Music artists obviously have the pain of not getting enough from streaming service. Also physical and regular digital downloads are falling... So there is a cash flow problem in the bands not being in relations with the very opaque majors. So now KiteBit offers a service for artists/bands who already have a loyal fan base who is willing to pay for the contents they produce. Not just for the sake of the contents put on sale but appealing to the emotional relationship they have with the artists, and using pricing models like the "pay what you want" that improves revenues by 12% goo.gl/N0oOeD All in all, KiteBit it's like a bandcamp for Pros that can be used to sell music, concert tickets, or link their merch to digital downloads to retain customer loyalty. The trick is that the service wants to be transparent to the audience so that there's no feeling of any middlemen in the buying experience. that's why you won't see any marketplace in the KiteBit's site.
