This video explains why signing up ten thousand fans is a realistic pathway to earning large dividend payments.
It’s a viable path to repeat dividend payments from half a million artists. It is just not feasible to sign up a half a million artists on your own. You need to leverage fans.
Dividends are only possible because mystery music gems that are also briefly exclusive have value. A ten cent cut of Artist song sales is only meaningful when those winning artists actually sell songs.
To get paid dividends, artists and fans must sign up using your Promo link. Once they click your Promo link and signup, you own them forever.
Dividends are paid in perpetuity. You can never lose your dividends. Here, on a mobile device, we log on and, from the Game Screen you can access your QR Promo link. Have people scan it to quickly sign up, or you can copy it, print it out or share it.
On your laptop, you can click on Your Promo link and you can copy and share any of these marketing images which have your Promo link embedded. You can also view your QR Promo link and share that – or simply share your Promo link directly – whatever the means, they all get users to this screen whereby they can choose to sign up as an artist or fan.
To view your Dividend payments, you go to the Dividends screen. Direct Dividends are artists you signed up directly – you get a ten cent cut of all their song sales – forever.
This screen shows your fan signups – you get a two cent cut of all song sales by artists your fans signup. Again, forever.
And this screen shows fans that your fans signed up. These are your Grand fans. You also get a two cent cut of all song sales by artists – that your Grand fans sign up.
These multi-generation dividends lead to a multiplier effect.
We begin whereby you signup ten thousand fans
These ten thousand fans could viably signup ten fans each on average – meaning you have one hundred thousand Grand fans.
These one hundred thousand Grand fans could realistically signup five new artists each – meaning you will earn dividends from half a million artists.
Again, realistically, only one in one thousand artists will beat the Game – so we have about five hundred winning artists.
If winning artists get paid one hundred thousand dollars each and you get a two thousand dollar cut from each artist, that leads to one million dollars in dividend payments. It is basically wealth by a million cuts. And that is why you signup ten thousand fans.
Next – how can you signup ten thousand fans?
Well, you can share your Promolink everywhere – a sort of spray and pray strategy. But a more targeted approach is to get fans to engage in a mass search for your song.
Step 1: Email us a brand new, exclusive song to this email address. You can title the email – Hidden Song.
Step 2: We now upload your song to a hidden area of our database – you will see it on your Song Upload table along with all your other songs. Keep in mind, this hidden song is not actually playing The Game.
Step 3: You create a campaign on Social Media and on your website – inviting fans to find your secret song.
An invite button with your Promo link is absolutely central to any campaign. It must sit in the middle of all language and strategy.
Step 4: The strategy must heavily reward the winner. Note that the winning fan must buy the song to identify the song. Here are some potential rewards to offer the winner. Rewards such as Collector’s Items, Cash Prizes, an autographed one of a kind vinyl record of the song, or free tickets. Perhaps allow the winner to tour with the band, or give them backstage passes. Maybe offer them original artwork and NFTs, or have them interview the artist, or appear with the artist. Maybe they can appear in your music video. There are lots of rewards that will excite fans.
Step 5: It is very important to prove to your fans that the winner is for real. Take screenshots of the Uploaded Songs table and also the Songs Sold table – this table shows the fan that purchased the hidden song. These are your receipts that show proof of the winner.
