Thanks to freemium – the real piracy – there is no doubt musicians are doing it tough.
At 1.5K this is a mate’s-rates deal and we make zero profit by providing this service.
We’ve always supported cultural endeavours and the arts. However, the music industry has suffered more than any other in recent history by losing over half it’s income in a short 2 year period (Pre 2013 = 42B – post-2015 = 16B), thanks to freemium.
The life expectancy of a fledgeling musician today is 3-6 months depending on how much money and luck they have. In 5 to 10 years from now we will suffer the real consequences, as there just won’t be the number of music artists there are now.
We can’t change history and the industry is not going to fix itself overnight, but we can give musicians the tools to plant a digital garden and grow their web presence for a massively reduced and subsidised fee.
The deal is as simple as it is generous. Musicians hand over their assets: images, links to their music and videos, links to their social profiles, a few stories for their blog and all that jazz.
We take it from there and go nuts designing their website like it was our own. A myband.website comes with 12 months hosting, support and system updates to ensure it remains live and up-to-date. We can even help managing it once it’s launched.
Everyone knows a musician… why not gift your muso mates with a website?
Gifting your musician friends with a website will not only make you feel all warm and fuzzy, it will actually help them make a living.
