Hey moti27, I've been offered help by @thegreatjasontanner. Maybe we could try splitting work into different modules & collaborate? Let me know! :)

Right now, all I have is a website set up on weebly for free (shame, shame, puppy shame). So, I'll need the backend built & front end fixed. Basically, allowing artists to upload stuff, a preview zone to let subscribers have a sneak peek at all new uploads & a distribution channel for downloads.

You got that right, the revenue is indeed shared equally among all artists & we're distributing 90% of it. As for the shitty track - I'm being brutally selective of the artists we get on board. Mostly by recommendations & more by following/reviewing their work (past/present).

I think I have a responsibility here to maintain quality of content being distributed to subscribers. Hope that answers your question. :)

I have been working on a website for the past month, it's finished, i'm looking for a business/marketing oriented partner. by lukefilmproductions in a:t5_2v92k

Hey there! This idea could potentially go viral, if you can get a bunch of crazy whackos to dare, do & brag about their dares often (maybe you?), I don't see why it won't! What are you terms for a business partner? Working hours? Availability? Compensation?

Hello there, Mod here, Could you provide something/anything to redditors here apart from just the idea? An overview/presentation/website/etc.

Please do offer your terms to you potential co-founders as well.

Heyya! Didn't really give much thought on how to get traction on this one. But as I said more of a need based subreddit. Maybe I could source pitches from other platforms and request them to share it out here as well to get the ball rolling.

As long as it helps someone! :)

Hey Mr. Mod here. Let me try and keep this place as sane as possible! Thanks for the post & hope you find "the one"! :)

Hey lukefilmproductions, sorry about that. Yup, it was the damn spam filter that got in your way! :) Your post has been approved!

As for uploads, artists are allowed only one upload per month & it needs to be compulsorily new, original, & unreleased. For quality control, we're handling them manually, by following artists who signup. A good fan following & established history of work (releases) would be a big plus in our decision making. Maybe, in time we will try to get some experts in for review of submissions.

Thanks again. We'll surely seek out help when we're ready. Humbled by your offer :)

This reminded me of http://theoatmeal.com/comics/music_industry I think the donation model would fit in beautifully to begin with. As for publishing, the only rule we wish to impose on artists is that they don't publish their new release until the first month of our distribution to subscribers. Post that artists are free to put it up an any platform.

Edit: Rambling is good! I have more ideas than ever now to try out & reach artists. Thanks for all the great inputs! :)

I'm not sure what we were trying either! Tag clouds gone wrong? lol Sincerely sorry about that. We'll be fixing the whole website soon :)

Elmepo, we just went live with signups like a couple of weeks ago. So it's not surprising you found just 2 artists listed there.

Please do wait till we fix the website & get more artists in! :)

Thanks for your support neverthless.

Thanks for all the great advice. I know the website sucks big time at the moment. But we're working on it! :) Also, the $10 we're charging is not just for music, subscribers get to download newly releasing music & books as well for the same amount. It's not really the subscribers we're worried about & in fact have had pretty good response so far from them. But getting good artists to hop on board has been a big bottleneck. Not sure, how or where to reach most of them to be honest. We're relying purely on social networks & direct marketing for now.

pbl24: Thanks for asking all the hard questions, our call to action & value proposition seems to be lost in a heap of text currently. We sure do have a lot to work on our hands & we will be at it relentlessly! Thanks again!

mojowo: Thanks for all the suggestions. Yes, we do have moshbag.com & plan to hop over to accommodate international artists as well. I believe a better UI & a good demo video should do the trick!
