    Um...Travis? Can ya give us a clue what kind of help you need? How do we know if we can offer you any help if we don't know if we have a background in the area that you need help in? Technical? Marketing? Content/Copy? Or do you just need a clairvoyant?

    I honestly cant say too much without blowing our cover, if certain people say this they will know exactly what we're doing and we have a lot of enemies out there because our music has proven success fully independent. Its in the marketing field, not technical but more of areview of how we're going about it. Things we should change or things i might be over looking.

        This was so unexpected that I cried laughing. MYOB I salute you. That was fantastic.


        All jokes aside, I am sure we can be of some use in a more generic sense right? As in proper marketing tactics or maybe ad copy? Surely you can give us something?

          Its a twist on affiliate marketing. Using our songs that have a proven track recorded. We have sold more than 50k records fully independent(never signed) just promoting our selves offline. Its not a very hard tactic to figure out tbh. Once i say affiliate you can get the idea...There are just a few things i want to do to gather more affiliates but i need advice about that. More than the normal advice.

          One thing that we're doing is offering 20% next day payout. Thats 20cents per song, not alot. But consider this..Lady gaga(65million sales) Only gets 3 cents per song sold. There is no huge label in between us taking a bulk of the money. Besides that we have over 150 songs to push, 1500 beats(youd be surprised on how much those can sell actually close to $20 per) and dont forget all of these can be turned into ring tones.

          As long as you get the idea and are willing to lend a helping hand i can explain it much further one on one.

    I like that, Im just not gonna make my plan viewable to the public. Enough people already know about it. I mean if you had a great idea that you already had 27 affiliates ready to start making sales you wouldnt want to publicly post it for the whole world to see right? We're just about ready to launch the offer but i want to rough out any edges with anyone who think they can be of help.

    I want to use WF for a JV and also post in the affiliate section. But its going to be hard to convince people that this isnt something theyve ever seen before and the traffic has to be created. But considering what this is...you can literally make millions for yourself and its going to be evergreen as we are constantly creating more and more songs with all of our artists. Just dont wanna screw this up as once the major labels catch on they will be using it.

      hmm I see quite the situation and I understand completely, now I am assuming that the max commission you can do is %35? That is without cutting into profits too much?

        We are going to be using many if not all markets to sell our music and some take a huge cut. 35% is more than any producer, any label and any person is able to get. 20% is way more than generous on our part considering your bank is going to be bigger than ours. We are not greedy and not doing this for the money(not completely). We have a vision for our own future and would love to help anyone we can out as long as they help us out. We are not your average industry producers.

        EDIT: Most of what we make(personally) is going back into the company. If we can afford rent food and gas we are happy people
