What is drip.fm℠? drip.fm is a platform that connects content creators and their fans. It's also a way for content creators to earn consistent revenue, so that they have the confidence and freedom to make long term decisions. The idea was born out of a request from our fans (Ghostly International) to give them an easy and convenient way to automatically receive all of our releases, and dig into our back catalog. Is it a Store or Music Streaming Platform? It's neither. Though streaming music is part of the service, you also get to keep everything sent to you. And content creators can distribute far more than just music. Think of it like a re-imagination of the fan club. How Pricing Works for Fans Each label in the system chooses their membership fee. Fees are collected via credit card on a recurring basis. Members can cancel at any time, and any content they receive during membership is theirs to keep, forever. How Pricing Works for Labels and Artists The drip.fm platform is free for labels to use – there are no sign up costs or usage fees. We only make money if you make money, which is done through a revenue share on sales. How Much Can Labels Charge? Labels can charge any fee they wish, and distribute content as frequently as they like. How Do Artists Get Paid, and How Often? We pay our partners on a monthly basis for subscription revenue collected each month, less our service fee. How Can I Sign My Label Up? We're currently in a closed beta. Sign up at our home page to receive an invite as we begin bringing labels into the system.

Tune Takeout Value Statement: We all know the music industry metrics are changing rapidly. What worked years ago is no longer viable to sustain revenue, drive growth and meet customer expectations and needs. While no single opportunity can address each issue, Tune Takeout goes a long way in meeting some of these new metrics. Tune Takeout provides a unique way to leverage your live music performances into valuable collateral; 1) we create salable, digital song inventory from live music performances 2) we convert that inventory into revenue by selling to the audience 3) we engineer and distribute the inventory electronically 4) we host the inventory in our store for future purchases. The unique aspect of Tune Takeout is in how we accomplish this for our partners without placing large financial or management burdens on labels and artists. Tune Takeout is an outsourced, vertical revenue opportunity. Beyond costs normally associated with the initial contract, there are no other upfront out of pocket expenses. Tune Takeout maintains distribution rights relative to a particular performance, not a particular song. Your music remains your music. Tune Takeout takes a percentage of the inventory we create and sell from the live performances. The percentage is equitable and essentially provides you additional revenue per performance for doing nothing outside of the normal course of performing. Tune Takeout realizes quality is essential and uncompromisable. We produce a high quality, digital product that generally exceeds audience expectations of a live performance recording. Finally, Tune Takeout provides a product that just “cool”. It establishes a connection with audiences that endures beyond the night of the show. The recording is something that is unique, affordable and of quality unavailable in any other way. Tune Takeout has some history. We beta tested our concept, business model and product in Kansas City last summer. The results of that beta testing established that audiences are enthusiastically willing to pay for the product, bands absolutely love opportunity and venues were willing to cooperate. So now, we're ready to roll out out product to a larger audience and spread the benefits to a wider world of music enthusiasts. We hope you will choose to be a part of it.
