Thementrack 3 - session 3

Digital Self-Management + Distribution for upcoming artists and small labels - AC Coppens, Bastian Menningen, Jacob Saßnick

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

„CD sales went 30% down, the majors are guilty... let's not get into this. What we know is that this is the end of the music biz as we now it“

Is there a new kind of artist? What happens to the music, when musicians need to take care of their own marketing and distribution?

Byrnes' survival strategy model:
From the 360-Equity-Deal (Robbie Williams) to DIY (Radiohead) – the more freedom, the more work

Why DIY? You get all the freedom, rights and revenues. Nowaydays you have to choose this way, because there's an explosion of artists.

Matters of distribution/promotion for „self-help“ artist:
Gigs
Website-Shop (e.g. open-source Magento)
SEO for Website
MySpace
online previews
shared playlists
listeners recommendations

The central question:
How do you get heard? How do you get it paid?

„For an individual artist its Impossible to look after all the relevant social networks. But the next generation of webtools can syndicate and aggregate, they get you an overview and select.“

Case Study: Beat & Music

Das Portal „Beat & Music“ bietet folgende Funktionen für Künstler:
Upload – Anbieten – Vernetzen – Bezahlen – Lizenzen

Knaller-App des Portals sind die Schnittstellen zu externen Homepages und Social Networks, in denen der eigene Shop samt Kaufabwicklung eingebunden werden kann.

Der Widget-Quellcode liegt offen, Beat & Music behält für den Service einen kleinen Prozentsatz ein.

Idee: Fans setzen Shop in den eigenen Blog und verkaufen für die Band mit!

Die allgemeinen Online-Umsätze steigen, Zahlungsbereitschaft per Netz wächst

Förderer von Beat & Music: FU Berlin Profund & TCC

In der Session dann Live-Release des Albums von „Muso“ auf Beat & Music ;-)

Auch Merch-Produkte können extern dargestellt und verkauft werden

Upload-Qualität selbst zu entscheiden

PayPal zapft die meisten Standardgebühren von 34 Cent ab, was bei Einzelsong für 99 Cent ziemlich reinhaut

Status von Beat & Music ist noch closed beta
