This week, we've launched a talent program for our users. Musicians and bands interested in crowdfunding a live show can apply for a chance to get professional marketing and management team to help them prepare the campaign and promote it.

Having a team on your side increases the chances of crowdfunding campaign success as such campaigns raise approx. 38% more than solo campaigns. This is why we are happy to provide this opportunity to artists and cannot wait to watch them play more shows and concerts with the help of their fans!

This is how the program works: the act fills out the application form, starts planning the show with the help from Show4me management and marketing team, launches the crowdfunding campaign for the show on Show4me and invites fans to preorder tickets.

Next comes the campaign promotion, which lasts throughout the duration of the concert crowdfunding campaign and ideally results not only in tickets preordered (financing the production of the upcoming live show) but in strengthened and new audiences for the musician/band.

The final stage of the process is the actual show and withdrawal of the remaining profits. The participants meeting the criteria for a successful campaign will also be eligible to receive $300.

Here is why we launched the program:

help musicians use Show4me crowdfunding toolkit,

provide musicians with tools to build sustainable careers,

show musicians how to organize live concerts through fan-funding,

provide managerial and marketing support.

Knowing which tools one can use to monetize music and put together live shows is vital for musicians as the field is very competitive. We are looking forward to more participants joining the program and getting their feedback to improve the program.

Want to learn what the experience of crowdfunding a show in Show4me with the help of our team is like? Here's our interview with one of the program graduates – Montreal-based hip-hop artist DJIBY.
