Reverb Nation

Anyone signed up to this site ?
brilliant personal shop, easy to manage and create your own stuff
sell your tracks as mp3 downloads or cds or make download packs.
they take a fairly big cut but I'm liking the way this is put together so far.
could be the free alternative to a website Ive been looking for.

thoughts please ( not on my site, but the site in general of course )

do they still spam the shit out of their users?

[davethedrummer]

erm ..... I don't know, they haven't sent me anything so far.
you don't like them then pat ?

[Patrick DSP]

i signed up to them when they first started up and got emails from them almost daily to check out this feature or that feature or to do this or that to get more fans, etc etc. maybe they've come into their own now and are worth taking another look?

I'm sure like most of these sites there is a way to configure the email notifications?

I will have a look at it later.

I think all these sites have their plus points..

outta interest henry why are you favoring this over you own site?

[davethedrummer]

I don't have a site
just a holding page, waiting for a site to be built.
and I'm just not sure that putting a site together with a shop and all the functionality that reverb nation has makes financial sense any more.
considering nearly all my money in music comes from studio hire or gigs
and my "web presence" is little more than me just telling people what I'm up to on facebook
or uploading tracks to soundcloud.
a central, blog like hub which has an easy to maintain shop and social network plug in capability which for the most part is free seems like a bloody god idea for the muso on a budget.
dont you think?

I'm not really favouring it, it's on trial , so far I'm not making a penny off the shop
but then I haven't really gone to town on it. yet
I want to give it a good go and see if I can get it moving,
give away some freebies as well as sell some music too.
and I like the T shirt idea so I don't have to order bulk shirts any more.

You can link the page to your Facebook account, which swung it for me! I do get a significant amount of emails from them tho, 12 a week maybe:)

Looks a great idea to me.

Saves on spending money for your own webspace and bandwidth.

Kick ass website with killer ideas but i get way too many emails almost every day about something from reverbnation. The reverbnation emails are up there neck to neck in count with my spam emails from other places.... ARRRRGGGGG!!!! :yell:
