JavaMusic.com Facts JavaMusic provides the ultimate connection between independent musicians and their global audience. How? Through empowerment. We empower Artists by giving them all the resources necessary to build their audience to its full potential. And we empower Fans by leading them to these artists and giving them all the knowledge necessary to choose "the Next Music."
What is the Next Music? Well, it is much more than the latest trend pitched by MTV, Rolling Stone or commercial radio. It is music that fans will choose for themselves by finding, absorbing and critiquing all the material that is available to them from around the world. Empowerment is the key ingredient in determining the Next; it ensures that artists know how to deliver their music to a global audience, and that such a global audience knows where and how to look for unique and exciting new music.
JavaMusic provides a single, user-friendly destination where both deliverers of the Next Music and discoverers of the Next Music can meet. This is where all music lovers will "Engage the Next."
For JavaMusic to help its users create the next wave of music, it must offer a convenient, one-stop shopping experience for both independent artists and the indie record labels that also use JavaMusic’s services. To this end, we provide distribution, traffic and networking opportunities that truly are global.
Some companies tout their "global" reach simply because they are based online and the Internet is accessible everywhere. But JavaMusic thinks globally and operates globally. We already have many Asian distribution points, and we gear campaigns toward Asian markets as well as the European markets, where we will be distributing CDs soon. Thanks to this extended reach, prospective buyers in these locales will never again have to worry about severe exchange rates or international shipping charges that are greater than the actual product cost!
Artists and labels that upload music and place CDs for sale on JavaMusic will also experience a significant boost in online traffic. The number of people who view an artist’s name and are exposed to downloadable music and artist information greatly increases with JavaMusic’s specialized audience focus. This focus also makes it easy for users to network with music lovers just like themselves, whether artists are contacting similar artists to discuss swapping gigs; or fans are trading notes and selling each other’s favorite JavaMusic discs at their Virtual Retail Stores.
The Virtual Retail Store, or VRS, is one of the many ways JavaMusic helps users proactively engage in the pursuit of the Next Music. This new affiliate program encourages both fans and artists to own and operate their own personalized, online CD store. These users are already talking up their favorite JavaMusic artists -- now for zero investment and with very little effort they can continue to spread the word while earning an extremely generous commission in the process.
If artists do not yet have a CD to sell, JavaMusic can present them with the most competitive prices in top-quality CD manufacturing. For under a dollar per disc, artists can produce 1,000 albums with all the elements of a professional release: jewel case with clear tray, 3-color print on CD, 4-panel insert, tray card and shrink wrap. If the idea is to present music to the pros while spending as little cash as possible, there are plenty of other cost-effective options available. One of the more popular routes our artists take is to order a short run of custom-recorded CD-Rs; the discs feature full-color thermal printing that easily rivals the sleek look of regular screen-printed compact discs.
Visitors of JavaMusic may also stop by the CoffeeShop for recommendations on the hottest JavaMusic artists, or they can shop for best buys among the apparel, memorabilia and must-read books that are available on the site. Another motivating CoffeeShop feature is the "Featured Product" artist section that promises extra exposure for those artists our A&R staff has reviewed and recommended.
