San Diego based, Webceleb is a next generation social music store where everyone can get paid to download music.
Webceleb provides a platform for artists and fans to join forces and make money together. Music lovers are empowered to discover new artists, support professional musicians and get further involved in a musician’s career. “People make a choice to buy music. The beauty of Webceleb is that for the first time when they make that decision they will be given the chance to form partnerships with musicians and have a vested role in the marketing and discovery process,” said Scott Fetters, co-founder.
Prior to the site’s official launch, Webceleb already had more than 20,000 active users and featured more than 1,000 artists. This is how the site works: fans purchase songs for $1 and receive 1 Slice. Fifty percent goes to the musician; 40 percent goes back to the fans that own Slices from purchasing music; and 10 percent goes to Webceleb.
“Whenever you purchase a song from a musician you get to participate in that musician’s financial success. This approach offers additional incentive for fans to discover new music and share their discoveries with others,” said Alex Rolek, co-founder.
People make money whenever others purchase any song by the same artist, and within just seven purchases, the first person makes their full dollar back. You then have the option of turning earnings into more cash by purchasing more songs – or you may cash out when you reach $20.
