Also, 'warning' this is a rather long page but worth reading. No fluff just facts
Well folks, it's like this...
...and 'NO' you don't have to sit through and watch a ridiculously long tedious repetitive video promising the world and you must decide 'today' to sign your life away, for this 'amazing one time offer' (that you can actually get at any time) by re-running the hideous video, bla, bla bla
THIS
Couldn't be more different... for a start NO video at all Yay...!
BACKGROUND
I am a musician music producer and film producer. I distribute music but don't wish to gig endlessly to try to pay the bills. I also prefer not to be known, in the general or social media and be hounded by or interviewed by numpties that just want a story, gossip, distorted truths to add to the myriad of diatribe out there every day!
Yes, maybe I've 'lost the plot' but, I simply don't seek any of that
If I, (and you) can earn a reasonable return from folks enjoying and liking my/our music then great, We'll get a buzz from that and can more easily pay the bills
CONFIDENT
I'm confident that there are artists out there with a similar outlook that wish to simply focus on creating great memorable music, (art) but really don't wish to be battered by the industry, pressure, pressure, pressure, targets, and more targets etc but, would very much like to share their music and see how popular their track(s) become
WHAT ARE YOU INTO?
Really doesn't matter to us. Whatever genre
WHY?
Because I /you enjoy the process of creating the creative art and take pleasure from knowing others may 'get-it' too
ACTUALLY EARN
Actually earn something for your music/art. Don't wait forever for streaming income to actually be worth anything reasonable. You'll be waiting a long time typically. But, streaming may get you noticed among all the 'noise' if your lucky
NO THREAT
This is NOT a threat to the big players as the amount of people wishing to stay anonymous and don't want or need to be idolised or be invited to pretentious parties or participate in irrelevant interviews etc
Still reading...?
SO, WHAT DO WE DO?
We offer something a little different. Read on, you'll be surprised, hopefully!
SIMPLE MODEL
A far simpler model than the seemingly endless T&C's for almost anything you do
nowadays. OK, there will still be agreements from the chosen distributor that we
have to pass on for you to agree to and other 3rd parties to get stuff done but very little paperwork from us
BOTTOM LINE
So, here it is...
No reams of gobbledygook baffling you into never making a decision, but, instead
a simple idea...
1: Get your creations distributed to hopefully gain some visibility and who knowns where that might lead to... you might get lucky with a hit and get 100,000+ streams! great, but don't get your hopes up
2: Also, actually 'sell ' your creations instead of just 'streaming' and make some
actual 'real money' to pay your bills and actually live a little bit instead of fractions
of a penny per stream etc
3: Have someone else, (us) do all the very boring stuff hence the annual fee to manage and market your work
4: Keep you completely invisible, (offgrid). If it goes to plan and you need to work on this too... No one will know who you are or where you live, what you think, feel, dream, what you had for breakfast etc. So, unless instructed by you the default answer to all enquiries is '"We will run that past the artist for their input" You can simply say "No Comment'" if you wish and we'll pass that on. You won't even know who else we manage
5: We deal with all enquiries relating to you and follow your instruction on when to forward anything so you don't get hassle from a great deal of timewasters
6: We take 10% of whatever revenue comes in (through us)relating to you and we pay you 90%
7: You focus on whatever your priorities are in music and life in general
8: You choose what you want to be known as. The only requirement obviously is that your chosen name/symbol must be clean and legal and not actually mean something disrespectful or horrid somewhere in the world
9. You set up an account however you prefer and that's what we pay into
10: you are still free to do/say whatever else you want obviously but bear in mind once the cat is out of the bag etc. Once you are known you've defeated the whole object. But, if you choose to that's also fine, it's your call
WHAT IT IS
A different low pressure way to get your creations out there and hopefully
you earn some money.
WHAT IT ISN'T
1: Rocket science
2: a con, scam, dubious scheme or weird pyramid thingy
REGISTRATION
As we are not a charity and will be spending quite a bit of time and money with you/for you and on your behalf when handling enquiries and to set this operation up and keep it
running, manage your account and handle the boring stuff there is an initial fee of £250 towards the costs of setting up Distribution and Royalty registrations etc, (up to this amount) and a monthly fee of just £10 to keep the coffee flowing and covering our renewals each year for all the bits required to keep it going...
Not much but enough to make it possible at all and
keep away freeloaders and time wasters. If you require additional features and services offered by the Distributor those costs will need to be covered by you
After that, as mentioned before, we simply just take our 10% of any revenue you generate through our services leaving you with 90%
So, to make it clear, whatever else you do that might earn you something, good luck,
go for it, enjoy it, we have NO claim on it
Anything else you can think of which isn't covered here or that could be explained better, just ask. I'll clarify it and add it to this 'story'
Happy creating !!!
This is a simple Website and likely will stay that way as it is not our
primary focus and it keeps costs down so that we can provide this...
