Republic Project

edit

Republic Project allows artists to sell pre-orders of new music directly to fans and receive 100% of the revenue from the album.

Fans have access to exclusive behind-the-scenes video during the pre-order period which can include footage from the studio, on the road or wherever else the artist wants to take them.

Artists receive an embeddable widget that can be placed on their website, blog and social sites like MySpace and Facebook. This widget will direct fans to the band page on Republic Project where sample videos of footage can be seen.

Once the album is released and the pre-order period is over, the artist is able to sell through any digital retailer or physical distribution.

Through the artist dashboard on Republic Project, the artist can name the album, the album price and the release date.

Artists are able to sell as little as 3 tracks and as much as a full album. Minimum pricing is $2.99 and maximum pricing is $9.99.

On the day of the album release, Republic Project will deliver the DRM Free tracks to fans via email.
