licensing and future revenue trends etc . . .

by Matt @ Kurb on September 23, 2007

Licensing is tipped to be a mojor growth area in revenue for musicians. Rest assured here at Kurb we’re on top researching and following up any and all opportunities to get paid.there better be a youtube video here:

okay, okay. I got it now.

Also gaining momentum is www.we7.com which allows free downloads with the inclusion of some advertising. Revenue is split 50/50 after costs with between the artist and We7. Obviously this is one of the latest permutations in the evolution of the music industry - but working hard as they are to deploy their web 2.0 arsenal of apps and widgets there may be some hope for it.

Also not gaining momentum is ipod advertising for unsigned artists - it’s only $1US to get ONE of your songs preloaded into ONE ipod with FIFTEEN HUNDRED others.Boy, thats sure to launch your career! Apple. Sometimes, honestly.

DId you know 6 million people are now using the Ilike widget - a widget similar in its aggregation and recommendation functions as last.fm - on Facebook, Myspace etc.? Apparently it’s the best way to make your music accessible on facebook until some kind of platform for musicians is established - sign up at garageband.com.
