The great thing is you can choose “who” to send “what.” Have a street team on Pownce, send your new flyer to them. Have a large following on Pownce, send everyone your new single and let them download it for free.
For the Gen-Y Rock Star, I see Pownce as a music distribution platform as well as an information distributor is which you, the band/musician/artist controls the flow.
I recently had the chance to talk to Leah Culver about using Pownce as a music distribution platform:
Pownce is a great way to distribute free or sample tracks to fans. We just added the ability to send files publicly on Pownce which could be used to distribute original content. I think musicians are definitely benefiting from getting their tracks out there on Pownce.
Pownce does currently have an open API, which allows developers to use the data within Pownce and create mash-ups and uses for the service that Pownce may not have available at the moment. I asked Leah about some music applications for Pownce and if any were on the way:
We haven’t seen any specific applications made for musicians or podcasters yet but I know there’s stuff in the works to integrate Pownce into various music players. That’s about all I can say
Now that is something to get excited about.
As musicians look to the future of finding and connecting with fans, engaging into conversations and fans do the same, Pownce is a great tool that more musicians need to look into. Leah mentioned Dinner Party Records and Brad Sucks as 2 music related users that are taking advantage of the services Pownce has to offer.
Pownce is just 1 free service offered to musicians that is included in 100 Social Media Resources for Musicians that is being unveiled on Monday. To get it ASAP, please sign-up to join the mailing list on the sidebar.
