Hey Leute,
ich hab mal wieder mitn Bryan geschrieben und er meinte, dass die Tatsache, dass wir die EP kostenlos auf Soundcloud raushauen unseren ganzen Flow auf iTunes, Spotify gekillt hat. Wir waren wohl bis davor Labelspitze...
Werde die EP wieder von Soundcloud runternehmen.
Er meinte außerdem, dass in etwa 150$ von diesen ganzen Portalen eingenommen wurden. Zusammen mit in etwa 200 € aus den Verkäufen über unsere Email-Adresse/Homepage ist das schon ganz ordentlich.
Hier Ausschnitte aus dem Chat mit ihm:

I'll post in a few.
I didn't know you guys were giving away the self titled EP on Soundcloud.
02:10
David Versus Goliath
well, i wrote you a message about it
we did it cause our page reached 800 likes as a reward
02:11
Bryan Puckett
I guess I didn't get it? I'm not seeing it. How long ago?
02:12
David Versus Goliath
hmm about 2 months i guess, somewhen around christmas
in hindsight, we dont really know whether this was too soon...i mean giving it away completely for free...
but on the other hand, it's a good 1,5 years out now and we promised something really big for the 800 likes
02:13
Bryan Puckett
Honest: It killed iTunes activity. KILLED it.
02:14
David Versus Goliath
Hmm really? Bad...well we dont really know about our itunes activity
whether it has ever been big or not
02:14
Bryan Puckett
There's about $150 here.
US.
02:14
David Versus Goliath
okay, thas something
02:15
Bryan Puckett
Streaming is common for the other EPs... You guys do big stream numbers... but it takes a lot of streams to make dollars.
But that EP does nothing either way now.
02:15
David Versus Goliath
could you maybe send me some statistics from the itunes-page? we're just interested
what do you mean by "streaming" ?
02:15
Bryan Puckett
Spotify, Deezer, places like that.
02:16
David Versus Goliath
oh okay...
02:17
Bryan Puckett
but if the person has the song on their computer and goes to listen on Spotify... you don't get paid anymore.

You are on: Amazon, iTunes, Deezer, eMusic, Google Play, X-BOX (US only, sadly), Spotify, Zvooq, T-Mobile Store, Virgin Mobile, Simfy, Media Market, Rapsody, Ovi, Nokiastore, Vodaphone, Virgin Mobile store (japan/asia), And Sony Music Store.
I might have missed one of two.
A lot of those don't do too much action. Probably most. The first ones through Spotify are the real activity.

David Versus Goliath
okay, i think spotify has finally reached germany, it*'s becoming a big thing here slowly but steadily
especially the kids like it

Bryan Puckett
Spotify is huge everywhere it goes.
