Creators are trapped on third-party platforms, being robbed of their fanbase, earnings, and content. We empower creators to build independent careers by giving them complete control of their brands, fan data, and earnings via their own fan platforms.
As a co-founder but also the first client of the platform, I wanted to briefly weigh in on how this service got started. Being an artist and internationally touring DJ, I've always struggled to find a fan-friendly way to share exclusive content while gathering fan insights and infos at the same time. At the time we started the profile, I ran all my free downloads and giveaways through a third party "follow to download" gate where I had no access to all the info this third party platform was collecting on me. Also it was ad supported and very user-unfriendly. That's when I got the idea to start a platform of my own, focused on being super fan-friendly and easy to use for both the artist and the fan.
That's how Fangage.me got started and we launched the first portal Heartfeldt.me shortly after. It's crazy to see that some of the biggest DJ's in the world are now using it! We just launched OliverHeldens.com and are working on portals for Laidback Luke, Blasterjaxx and others to name a few. This is a product born out of personal frustration with the alternatives and I guess that's how a lot of good ideas are born.
If any of you reading this want to have a chat about how to use it for your brand, feel free to hit me up. Because (and a lot of marketeers do not realize this), in the end, marketing an artist isn't that different from marketing a brand. We both have fans, we just need a good way to centralize and engage them. That's what Fangage.me is all about :-)
This concept appeals to me because of its straightforward aim of servicing the fan with a collection of media and opportunities related to the artist, along with direct promotions regarding events in your own area. I think taking this outside of the spheres of social media and into the artists' own control creates many new opportunities for the music scene. Moreover, the execution has been well done: the UX and UI are beautiful and intuitive. A++ for innovation!
Thanks @kristinla255! There are a few who do bits of it. But we try not only to make a great tool for our clients, but also for their fans. A lot of tools focus on collecting data, and we give something back in the way of a great portal with content for the fans.. We're unique in this!
@brookec_ha77 Crazy! The free download link on the Soundcloud page of Sam Feldt goes up to 38-42%.. It all depends on the content, but 15-20% is a normal range for Facebook posts for example.
