Build your own fan base – not someone else’s

ArtistShare all is about cultivating your fan base. Social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook are very effective for “casting a broad net” but your profile is lumped with millions of others and the structure of the site is meant to drive users away from your page to increase page hits and sell advertising. The ArtistShare Performer program is the best way to communicate directly with your fans and give them their own private space on the internet to interact with you and experience what you do while selling digital downloads of your music.

Quality vs. Quantity

Fans are an artist’s 401K. 1000 dedicated fans can enable an artist to continue creating for many years to come. Bulk email blasts to people who have not directly signed up for your list can most often times hurt you rather than help you. By using ArtistShare Digicards to sell or give away your music, you are guaranteed a 100% opt-in list of fans that want to hear from you.

Build your career

As your career grows, ArtistShare grows with you. From ArtistShare Performer to ArtistShare Session to ArtistShare Professional, the ArtistShare model organically develops with you giving you all of the services and support you need at each stage of business development. ArtistShare also offers professional design, publicity, radio promotion and music publishing services to help you get to the next level.

When your fan redeems the Digicard they have instant access not only to the downloadable CD but to additional content giving them insight into your creative process and are automatically added to your mailing list. Allowing your fans a glimpse into the life of you as a creative artist is the fist step in cultivating a long lasting relationship and the ArtistShare Performer package is the perfect solution.

Here is how it works:

Decide on the music or other downloadable content you would like to offer your fans. This can be downloads of a CD, a live performance, whatever you want to share. Remember that the content should showcase what it is that you do and provide insight into the creative process. For example, audio /photos/journal entries from the making of the CD along with downloadable tracks of the CD itself is an ideal combination.

Send your content to ArtistShare where we will add it to an ArtistShare performer offer.

ArtistShare manufactures and sends your Digicards to you to sell (at any price that you want) or give away to fans. (normal card production turnaround is approximately 16 business days + shipping time.)

The fan redeems the certificate number printed on the card and has immediate access to the downloadable CD and additional behind the scenes content. The fan is also automatically added to your mailing list so that you can keep them up to date on your latest projects and performances.

You own 100% of your work and you have one happy fan base.
