Song Investmenting A New Fan Incentive!

As the web becomes more of the platform for breaking new music and hot new recording artists and bands.SongVest is now expanding its song investment model by partnering with ReverbNation. SongVest allows outsiders to invest in songs from major artists, and (hopefully) realize a resulting royalty stream. The offering includes songs from Garth Brooks, Aerosmith, and Cher, though the ReverbNation marketing partnership brings the concept to lesser-known acts and content.

ReverbNation draws participation from roughly 250,000 artists, most of whom are emerging or unknown. A portion of that group is also mid-level, and searching for ways to better promote their content across digital channels. That includes GB Leighton, a country-style songwriter with albums sales north of 70,000. GB, a ReverbNation artist, has already received $4,600 from the appropriately-titled, "Love for Sale," part of an initial pilot.

If GB is getting off the ground, others are truly on the ground floor. "Imagine buying in on tracks from the next Fall Out Boy or My Chemical Romance before they hit the big time," said David Prohaska, cofounder and CMO of SongVest.

The Concepts of Digital Record Labels

Do you need a record deal? With everyone talking about how much the music industry is "changing" these days, many musicians wonder if they really need to worry about demos and labels any more, or if all of that traditional music business stuff is just so passe. In fact, you've probably heard a lot of people tell you that you definitely DON'T need a label - that labels are only taking a cut of your earnings for something that you could be doing by yourself anyway. The truth really isn't quite that easy.

First - yes, you CAN release your record yourself. There are more avenues than ever before for indie music in general, and that means musicians have a better shot at success with a self release now. But make no mistake about it - there's nothing especially revolutionary in the model of self releasing your record. You're not "skipping" the record label - you're really starting a record label. If you're serious about selling your music and trying to make a living, then you are going to have to do everything a record label would do - both in terms of work and finances. The better question is whether you NEED a label - really, you don't - but whether or not you are ready, willing and able to do everything involved in running your own label.And as we proceed towards an awareness of what it really means to socially network and create a buzz following by just applying ourselfs the closer we all will learn that this self empowerment time period is very important to advancing our passions and careers to DA-NEXT-LEVEL!

Majors Labels Are Now Seeing Digital Is The Key!

For the major labels, MySpace Music is the cumulation of more than 18 months of experimentation in new business

models and a launching pad for their digital music strategies for the future. While detractors continue to level

criticisms against them for their alleged role in hindering the digital music market with complicated licensing

demands and other limitations, the majors have largely reassessed their approach to the Internet, spurred by the

continued slide in physical music sales.

During the year and a half leading up to the launch, the majors have signed unprecedented deals opening the door to

ad-supported free streaming, digital rights management-free music sales and reduced licensing costs in return for
revenue share and/or company equity.

The joint venture of the News Corp. subsidiary and Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music

Group, EMI Music and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, MySpace Music Service represents a turning point for the recording

industry and MySpace itself has now place the recording industry in better light to hopfully gain

the trust of the future digital music and its new unlimited support system which is the social networking,promotions,marketing and the internet the www concept has changed the way of control and its deceit to an open forum and its focus of we can do this ourselfs now with the new digital thinking ways of this y2k generation which now have seen the we don't need a major to sell our music for $10.00 and get only a $1.00 and 15cents back in sales ,wow this really is the new deal for an artist whom now can get $7.00 now because of this new digital distribution and social media outlets.Even as we proceed to this new way of thinking and inner faith and power of just applying the useful new tools and outlets marketed to us some undevelop artists still want a major record deal and thats only because of mental programming with the control factor of this is the onlyway to the top and really the key element is making a living with your passions and gifts.Experience and its ups and downs with some deals and no deals with bigger bills will always reach one and teach some but at lease the talent searchs,showcases etc are on the minds of the majors because they will not survive it they can't sell no product and the lifelines are and always will be hot new acts and trendsetters.

All these elements are present in the MySpace Music deal. As such, the service represents less of an experiment and

more of a template for future agreements.

"It highlights the shift in our business to bring business models to the market that meet where the demand is for

our music," UMG's eLabs division executive vp Rio Caraeff said. "It's the single largest thing we've done to change

the way we do business around the way the customer wants to experience music."

Caraeff says to expect further flexibility in digital music deals in the near future. Among other things, this

means including access to the Universal catalog in software development kits that give developers the ability to

create new applications with built-in music licensing.

"You'll see more from us going forward in this area," he said. "The notion of creating and enabling more innovation

around music than would normally occur under our prior modes of doing business is very important to us. We

recognize that the ways we can think of music are not the only ways music can be used online. We would like to see

tens of thousands of instances of music being used in creative ways in interesting apps online with less friction

and less hassle."

For MySpace, the service represents a significant expansion from a simple social networking site billed as "a place

for friends" to a content-driven service billed as "a place for music," using its core community features as its

foundation.

"The whole consumption patterns for both music and video have changed a great deal in the last five years," MySpace

co-founder and CEO Chris DeWolfe said. "We wanted to put together a music service consistent with those changing

patterns and layer a business model around it."

The social networking giant has long served two masters -- the artists with profiles on the service and the music

fans with the same. There are more than 5 million bands with MySpace profiles, and while MySpace doesn't provide a

specific breakdown, the vast majority are independent or unsigned artists.
