So what is Sellaband, you may ask?
Sellaband (www.sellaband.com/shauncbryant) is a website for artists where a musical project can be set up so that believers (such as yourself) can invest in the artist and get a return on their investment via a percentage of subsequent sales once the Sellaband project is complete.
So, I have set up a Sellaband project for €12,000 Euros to allow me to raise funds for my forthcoming album, 3am In The Morning, and to set up distribution for my music, both electronically and with physical CDs.
Any believer who invests in me will get an electronic download of the album upon its release late, regardless of their investment. The minimum investment is €10 Euros (classed as 1 part), which will get you a signed physical CD of the album as well.
There are various incentives available for believers ranging from €10 Euros (1 part) up to €250 Euros (25 parts). If you invest the €250 Euros, you will get all of the goodies available from all of the incentives list, PLUS the opportunity to come and visit me for the day at a top London recording studio and see me working on the album (travel not included). You can also have your picture taken with me at the studio and I would love to see you there! There are 4 of these €250 Euros incentive packages available right now, so get in there while you can!
I have allowed for a 30% return on your investment in me over 5 years on this particular Sellaband project (hey, there may be others, who knows?!).
Here's the numbers stuff....
30% of the sales of the album, up to five years from its release date, will be put aside to be shared amongst you, my believers, based on the number of parts you have invested. So, if you have invested €10 Euros, you will get 1 part of the 30% share. If you have invested €250 Euros, you will get 25 parts of the 30% share and so on.
Here's an example....
--- 10,000 copies of my album (created with the funds invested in me via Sellaband) are sold at €10 Euros per CD/download, making total sales of €100,000 Euros.
--- 30% of this (my return on investment that I have promised to all believers) is €30,000 Euros.
--- My Sellaband target is €12,000 Euros divided in to 1,200 parts valued at €10 Euros each.
--- So, if you have invested €250 Euros (25 parts), your return will be as follows.....
--- 25 parts / 1200 parts multiplied by €30,000 Euros = €625 Euros.
--- So, for an investment of €250 Euros, you get a return of €625 Euros (depending on charges, taxes etc). Not bad, eh?
Any money you invest in me is a risk. All monetary investments, like they say in the TV ads, can go down as well as up. This Sellaband project is no different but I know you will have faith and invest in me! I promise you I will work my ass off to create the best album I can, one that I am proud of and one that you can be proud of as well!
I know money is tight right now for all of us but even if you invest just the minimum of €10 Euros, we will get there! As the Jovi say, we must "keep the faith" and invest in the music of tomorrow. Sellaband are providing a new business model here that allows independent musicians like me to get on that music ladder and make an album.
So help me fulfil my dream and, at the same time, become part of the process!
Eight of you will see that process in action at a top London recording studio if you invest €200 or €300 Euros. To those eight, I look forward to meeting you in the future!
I look forward to all of your assistance and support on this project. Music is my passion and I hope you will all share that passion and invest in me.
Just head on over to www.sellaband.com/shauncbryant and check it all out.You can also invest in me on my BELIEVE! page on my blog at www.shauncbryant.com.
