When it comes to writing a review of
radioairplay.com, there are a lot of features to cover and there are
many people on the internet that have weighed in on the topic
(positively and negatively.) For those that are not familiar with the
service, I will break down a few things, so that it will be easier to
get your head around the concept. “Jango, Radio Airplay.com and
NeuCoin” are three different things that I will cover, as well as
how they work together.
What is “Jango?” On their website,
Jango describes themselves as “Free Internet Radio That Plays the
Music You Love.” Which basically means, listeners can customize
their own playlists similar to Pandora. The artificially intelligent
Jango Radio interface will play you songs from popular artists on
your customized playlist and even insert similar music to introduce
you to new artists and music. Listeners can also provide feedback
with the 'Like' button and can view info about the song they are
listening to like: bio, purchase links, album cover, etc … A great
marketing tool for discovering music right? It's genius, many
companies have been doing it for years, but why is Jango so
different? One of the reasons, is because of radioairplay.com.
Radioairplay.com is a promo tool for
independent musicians (like me) that allows us to insert our songs
into a listener's customized playlist so that they can be exposed to
our music on Jango radio. As far as I know, there aren't many
services out there like this. I have found “MondoTunes Radio” and
“feature.fm” which I will review in the future. Please let me
know if you find other services out there, because I have found
radioairplay.com to be a very effective tool for finding new fans and
selling music. You can purchase credits/plays for cash and insert
them anytime you want, 24 hours a day, to a global audience.
Personally, I subscribe to the $30/month plan which gets you 1000
plays/month. There are bonuses for having a recurring subscription,
unused plays roll over to the next month and you can even earn bonus
plays when your songs get a lot of positive feedback (high popscore)
from fans, read all about it at radioairplay.com, these are the
basics:
$10 = 250 plays/month
$30 = 1,000 plays/month
$100 = 4,000 plays/month
$200 = 9,000 plays/month
$500 = 23,000 plays/month
$1,000 = 50,000 plays/month
What is a Jango popscore? I will put
this in the most basic terms possible, because that question alone
will get you thousands of search results on google. A popscore is a
weekly measure of positive interactions (1-100) from fans on
radioairplay.com, compared to all of the other independent artists
using the radioaiplay.com service that week.
For example:
During Week 52 of 2015, one of my songs
“303infinity 'Audio Fantasy' TbOnVega Radio Mix” was played over
100 times in various listener's Jango playlist. This song's 99
popscore ranked in the top 10 of the entire website during Week 52 of 2015.
The song had a lot of positive interactions, listeners clicked on the
'like' button, shared their email addresses with me, commented
several times on my profile and tipped me several NeuCoins. I can
read your mind. What the heck is a NeuCoin you ask? I had no idea
until a few weeks ago myself, when people started tipping me with
them. I got several NeuCoin tips while I was writing this article
actually. In my opinion, NeuCoin is a game changer, a power move, and
a brilliant partnership for Jango, Radioairplay.com, NeuCoin and
independent musicians like myself, trying to reach new fans and
continue to create music without dipping into the grocery money to do
it.
Quoting directly from RadioAiplay.com
“RadioAirplay Artists can now receive tips - in the form of
NeuCoins - from listeners on Jango! Neucoins are an easy-to-use
alternative to Bitcoin, and can be used in many ways which now
include redeeming them for Airplay.”
Perhaps you've been living under a rock
and have never heard of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most popular 'virtual
currency' or 'crypto currency' on planet earth (at the time of this
post.) Basically it's like money that exists online and is not
regulated by the US Treasury or any government entities. You'll find
people out there that love Bitcoin, swear by Bitcoin, fear Bitcoin,
and hate Bitcoin. The CEO of Bitcoin was even assassinated recently.
Bitcoin's continues to grow in
popularity and value. At the moment of this post, Bitcoin's were
valued at about $430 USD each. You can check it here yourself on this Bitcoin to USD, NeuCoin to USD calculator, real time price.
By the time you read this post, the
value will be different, check it out yourself, sorry for turning
this into a Bitcoin article, back to NeuCoin.
NeuCoins were released in 2015, you can
read all about them at neucoin.org. There are also some great links about NeuCoin on Reddit. In basic terms, NeuCoin is a
virtual currency like Bitcoin, but is used for micro transactions.
Every new Jango account comes with 25 NeuCoins and listeners are
encouraged to tip artists if they like your songs. I've researched a
couple of sites, and NeuCoins seem to be valued around a penny each.
($0.01 USD) So now you are asking, why do we want a useless coin that
I can't spend on food, that isn't worth much, that no one has ever
heard of?
Because, tipping NeuCoins is a new level of positive listener reaction to your music.
NeuCoins are of limited quantity and
Jango listeners are rationing out their NeuCoins in tips to the
artists that they truly favor over others. It is a direct comparison
to your peers, unlike the other positive interactions that listeners
can have with your artist profile. A Jango listener can hit the like
button when they hear your track on radioairplay.com, but they are
not limited to the number of 'likes.' You don't really know if that
listener hit the 'like' button 100 times that day or not. Listeners
can share their email address with you, or even give you a positive
comment like “Wow, good job, catchy tune.” They can even purchase
your song through your buy link, or add you to their Spotify playlist
or share your music with their friends. All of those are great
things, but now we have the bonus measurement of NeuCoin to let us
know which of our songs, the fans are really responding too. It let's
us know how much that song personally means to that listener,
compared to all of the other music that they are listening too. This
is a special thing that truly separates the radioairplay service from
all others out there (so far.)
So will the 1500+ NeuCoins that I've
earned over the last three weeks make me rich? My NeuCoin wallet is bulging right now. If they were valued at
$400+ each like Bitcoins, hell to the yes, but that scenario seems
unlikely for now. But the songs I am getting NeuCoin tips for the
most are shaping my approach to studio recording and song writing. I
have a new metric that shows what my fans are responding to, and I'm
going to feed that appetite.
I am currently writing a new review of the radio airplay service and will post it soon.
