Sellaband.com Update

The second band on sellaband.com is about to reach the $50,000 mark. Once the group hits that, they will produce a CD sponsored by sellaband.com and distribute a copy to every person who contributed any money to them. After that, all the "believers" make money proportional to how much they contributed to the band.

The band that is about to make it is called Cubworld. It's not my favorite - very soft and acoustic, but it apparently has everyone going nuts over it. At my last check they had about $46,700!!

Check out Cubworld and other bands on sellaband.com

Sellaband! Making Money with Musicians

I have just discovered sellaband.com which is an amazing idea. Aspiring bands put their music up on the website and get people to "believe" in them by contributing $10 "parts." Once the band sells 5,000 parts, it gets a record label and splits it profits with all the people who "believed" in the band. How cool is that?

From what I've heard so far, some of the music is incredible. I'm especially big fans of Mysti Mayhem, Brice Davoli, and Clemence.

Check it out if you're a music fan!
