Big Changes At Slicethepie - Fan Financing Enters New Era!

   

Big changes at Slicethepie - Fan financing enters a new era...

Hi!

We're just writing to give you a heads up on some big changes at Slicethepie, if you've only got a moment here's the meat (veggie and gravy below):

  • Supporting an Artist now delivers a range of benefits dependent on how much you offer
  • Make the Artist any offer e.g. $500 to play my party/write me a song/make me a roadie/cut me in on the royalties
  • Cool New Artist profiles - things getting much more social
  • Site converted to dollars, look out for higher scout payments
  • Financed Artists get a bundle of free promotional assistance from a range of music businesses
  • Plus major US partnerships in the pipeline to supercharge the artists you decide to support
  • Overall it's simpler, cleaner and more flexible! (Wow this is starting to sound like a detergent advert!)

Check out the changes here.

Support an artist now and receive a wide range of benefits

Today we launch a new incentives system, whereby depending on your level of support, you'll be able to receive a range of different benefits. We've put together a range of packages, so any support you've offered will be converted to match these. Check our the default rewards here.

For artists this means complete flexibility in what they want to offer their supporters (ehem, YOU). Artists can add anything to any package at any time, so let's hope they're feeling creative!

If there's something you think they're missing, you can let us know. Plus: the forth package is the 'You Decide' package, where you can suggest something that you want in return for your support. Maybe you want the Artist to play at your party, or take you out for dinner, maybe you want a song dedicated to you, time in the studio or a cut of the royalties - maybe you just want a hug.... These rewards will be artist specific and agreed between fan and Artist but it means you can agree anything you like directly with the artist. Get creative : )

Check out Artists currently looking for your support here.

New Artist Profiles

Yep, for Artists in Showcases we've created new Slicethepie profiles to show off their Slicethepie support as well as pull in info from Facebook, Twitter and the likes. This will enable Artists to directly contact their supporters at any time. So you'll always know what they're up to. These will go live in the next week.

Site Converted to $US

The site has now been fully converted to $US, (you'll be able to see the conversion in your MySlice account).

This conversion is to enable us to roll out a number of partnerships (announcing soon) in the US which will add significant opportunities for Artists and improve Slicethepie, for Music Fans and Artists alike.

Scout Earnings look like this:

  • 1*v$0.07
  • 2*v$0.10
  • 3*$0.11
  • 4*$0.13
  • 5*$0.19

This includes a special 20% increase to celebrate all the new features - Start scouting here!

Complete package of promotional tools for Financed Artists

Yep that's right, we've agreed some fantastic complimentary benefits for Artists that get financed, all for Free to help them out with promotion (and this list is only going to get bigger).

  • Sonic Bids Supersonic membership (for 1year) worth $100
  • NimbitIndie account (for 1 year) worth $129
  • Soundcloud Solo account (for 1 year) worth $79
  • Tunecore free distribution (for 1 year) for an Album, Single and Ringtone worth $70
  • Soundout 10 pack Multitrack pack worth $279
More details can be found here.

That's all for now, more news to come over the coming weeks. Be sure to check out the new Terms and Conditions here and do drop us a line if you have any questions at all.

You can also check out our new FAQs to get more details.

Thanks as always for your continued support,

The Slicethepie Team
