To date smaller artists have been restricted from entry to the growing apps market due to costs. iLike is now offering a solution for acts to build their own apps starting at US$99 (£58) each.
iLike is the Web’s leading social music discovery service and the dominant music application on the Facebook®, Orkut, hi5 and Bebo platforms. Using the popular iLike application, music fans on these leading social networks worldwide can add music to their profiles and be alerted to new releases by the artists they enjoy.
iLike offers musicians and labels a Universal Artist Dashboard™ from which to reach fans and manage their presence across multiple channels helping artists reach their fans and cultivate the viral spread of their music.
Music Money Link:
Keep an eye on it!
MySpace has just entered into an agreement to acquire iLike and this will help fans discover content and connect with artists online enabling them to purchase songs and albums (in MP3 format) in-page directly from iLike.com. Connecting with fans as you know is essential and the more opportunities you give them to buy your music the better.
Call to Action:
Growth in artist specific apps is on the increase and just as you need to have a web strategy you need to be thinking about that mobile app strategy. Check out this short video demonstration of an iLike Artist Application for iPhone and go to iLike for more info.
