This sounds like a no-brainer but most online music services are not setup to give you this much control. Fact: Did you know we can even protect your music before it's uploaded to any online service? Ask us about tools like [TakeNode.org]( ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ #2 Google Search “free music” ­ We totally understand why musicians want their music on Spotify, Tidal, Deezer or SoundCloud: It is a great way to share music with family and friends. However, when people need music for video, social media, podcasts or other media projects they don't start on Spotify but on Google. And yes, they start searching for “free music” first. It does not mean music is always free. On each FMA song page, album page and when a person clicks the download button the license conditions set by the artist are shown in plain English. Or with an additional click in 40 other languages. ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ #3 FMA visitors & musicians connect ­ No matter if you are the artist, curator, media maker or a visitor who loves the original music hosted on FMA. All of you have the option to get in touch with each other and build fun, meaningful relationships. All on your own terms of course. When creating or updating your FMA account you can add a contact form or links to your socials. When people use your FMA contact form messages will go straight to your email program. FMA members can also leave comments on artist, album and song pages. ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ #4 Make money with free ­ Actually this is not as strange as it sounds. Most self-releasing musicians know by now that featuring their music on the major streaming music services hardly generates any money. How will “giving it away for free” generate more cash? Because there is a step before all of this that makes sense: Setting your own terms for free and paid versions of your music. Example? Music free to listen, download and share with friends still generates money from tipping, sync licenses for commercial use, paid music play-outs in businesses, web monetization initiatives and advertisement revenue shares. It is the musician on FMA who says yes or no to any of these non-exclusive FMA revenue models offered today and in the future. By the way: FMA also respects musicians who want to share some of their songs unrestricted with the world. The musician is in control. ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ #5 We do like change ­ Our online behavior, technology and business models are constantly changing. We all need a bit of help to make sense of it. Human nature doesn't like change. On the other hand there is a constant fear of missing out. So we offer a safe online environment to play with new music, technology and business models. We have a strong opinion about new music industry models but fair is fair, we don't have a crystal ball nor do we believe in a one size fits all approach. So come play with us and find out how “positive change” looks like. No strings attached. ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ [Sign in / Sign up]( ­ ­ [Contact us](mailto:meghan@tribeofnoise.com) ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ Tribe of Noise BV Johan Huizingalaan 763a, 1066 VH, Amsterdam ­ This email was sent to {EMAIL} You've received this email because you've subscribed to our newsletter. ­ [Update your preference]( | [Unsubscribe]( ­ ­ ­
