Unsigned / Independent artist website for sale

The next big thing in music and associated social media an all in one for the millions of artists around the world to sell direct to their audience and receive bookings directly from venues in 1 click.

I am bringing to the market for sale a platform in social media purely centred on the music industry specifically for musicians and fans of. An emerging music and social media website that in its 17th year has gone through many changes and reinventions. The most recent model having launched in November 2014.
This specific content user managed website provides another route for interaction with specific users enjoying a worldwide audience.
Since the sites latest changes the audience continues to increase organically each month.
The website started out as a music resource for unsigned and emerging artists in July 1998 providing advice and information of contacts for unsigned and emerging artists looking for professional help with their talent and assistance to get in front of the right people for either management representation or a recording contract. Having under gone many changes the website today is more about selling directly to the fans and getting direct bookings from clients. Artists have a profile that enables them to upload their music, photos, videos, biography and daily updates. Fans are able to purchase their music and merchandise and view any performances that artist may have coming up and book tickets. Clients are able to book the artists for performances and pay directly via the site anywhere in the world in seconds. The website receives commission on all transactions via the site.
Although we currently offer free membership to all there is a function in place to charge artists a monthly or annual subscription. In addition artists can pay a monthly top up of £50 to appear as a featured artist on the front page.
There are many more angles and revenue streams via the site that can be discussed in more detail should this acquisition be of interest to you. The specific audience that this site attracts is an extremely valuable asset and I believe this would be a perfect strategic move for anyone looking to become a major player within the music business and with the right focus and marketing the buyer will see rapid growth very quickly regardless of the obvious intrinsic value this site enjoys.
In addition to the obvious financial rewards this site will provide it is currently ahead of its game and provides access to a market reasonably untapped and insider knowledge.
There are 4 domains that link to this site that will be included in the sale along with all social media accounts and anything else related to this business model.
Completely bespoke and unique with a strong social media presence the site is currently hosted via a third party on a dedicated server. ALL accounts will be transferred as part of this transaction. The site is user managed and practically runs itself with very little need for admin intervention, however the site is easily managed via admin logins.
The owner is prepared to stay on board to facilitate a smooth handover if required and going forward is able to act on a consultancy basis when and if required. The handover can be completed within 24 hours of a successful sale.
On the 26th July this site was 17 years of hard work and dedicated vision by the owner and as such he is naturally sad to see it go, but it is time for fresh energy and other commitments mean he is no longer able to give the site the focus and time it deserves to push it to the next level.
This is a perfect time for fresh eyes to take over and move the site forward as the music industry has changed dramatically since its inception, hence the continuous changes in the sites history and this very exciting new change 3 years in the making that enjoys it's own USP's to put you way ahead in firmly establishing yourself as a major player.
The owner may consider a shared ownership agreement if the right purchaser is unable to fully fund an outright takeover but want a stepping stone into this lucrative industry. Please feel free to contact us to discuss.

To fully understand and appreciate all that this site has to offer I would suggest logging in as an artist to peruse in detail.
