Rewards
Giving back is the core of how Reward Music works. Each day, all of your fans are scored and ranked based on how much they are doing for your community, and how much they are spending. Fans are then sorted into 5 categories and awarded discounts based on their status. As their status changes up and down, they are automatically emailed.
Level 5 - 20%
Level 4 - 15%
Level 3 - 10%
Level 2 - 5%
Level 1 - 2.5%
Community
This is the power of Direct Connection. Everything you need to transform your site from monologue (you speaking TO your fans) to dialog (you having conversations with your fans and your fans having conversations with each other) is in here.
Location check in, friending, sharing, email, DM’s, surveys, polls, groups, forums, videos, status updates, likes, dislikes…if any social media platform can do it, its in here.
This is what builds your fan base. You need to OWN, not share you fan base. Community is the core of where your fanbase and monetization will come from.
Live Video Streaming
At Reward Music, we understand that live performance is the number one way that most artists make money. But not every artist can afford to tour, and not every artist can afford to start a band. That is why we created the ability for artists to stream video behind a paywall. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, it's imperative to capitalize on innovative approaches to content distribution, and Reward Music stands at the forefront of this evolution.

Your fans can stream, download and purchase your audio content without ever leaving your platform.
We accept MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, AAC and AIFF files formats at the highest quality sample rate and bit depth. Since we don't transcode your files, your audio masters retain their integrity. High fidelity sound is a priority at Reward Music and we make it easy for you to monetize your audio content based on its resolution.
If you’d like your MP3 files to be free, you can do that. If you'd like your high resolution files to be priced higher or change audio pricing based on song length you can do that too! Audio Streaming is integrated into our reporting system which means you can see, in real time, which tracks are being listened to and purchased the most. Your music can finally be accounted for based on the actual source of interaction. Your audio content is subscribable as well.

Event Schedule
Let Reward Music do the work for you.
The bundled features on Reward Music help artists do more for less. As soon as new concerts or events are added to an artist’s calendar, Reward Music goes to work and automatically finds all of their fans within 150 miles of that show. Next, it sends them an email with all of the exciting details. It follows up with reminder emails at 7 days before, 3 days before and on the day of the show. It even includes the weather forecast for the exact date and time of the show! On show day, Reward Music keeps working. The concert event location becomes a live GPS check in point for artist's fans. Once they check in at the show, artists can message their fans details about exclusive deals on merchandise to maximize the total concert experience. It's also a great way for their fans to increase their Reward points gains. Live event check in reward points propel fan status. They can earn double points for the night if they bring new fans who sign up to the artist's Reward Music powered site while at the concert. Offering exclusive pre-sale codes and advance ticket links is easy at Reward Music. The more love your fans show, the more you can help their Rewards grow. It's a schedule, it's a calendar, it's the world's best fan communication system, and it’s only at Reward Music.
Video Streaming
Imagine having the ability to control your own pay per view channel.
What if you did not have to share your video revenue with anyone?
Your music videos have value, why let social media platforms have your videos for free and earn money from them, while you see nothing or next to nothing in return? With Reward Music, you have control over the delivery of your videos. They can be organized as free, a la carte purchases or only available to subscribers. Reward music is your broadcast channel and you're in charge. Do you want to have a subscription web series? Do you want to film podcast and broadcast it? Do you want to make personalized video messages available for sale like Cameo? What about subscriptions to your music lessons? What about professional multi-camera live streams of concerts or other events of your choosing? You can do all of that on your own Reward Music fan engagement platform.
Your fans never have to leave your site to see your best video content. Your fans can watch your best videos without commercials, without leaving your site. We accept virtually every video format for upload and your fans see your videos in beautiful HD.

Dashboard
Reward Music features the most comprehensive dashboard available.
You can see everything that is going on with your platform in real time, or over any time span you request. Sign ups, sales, device count, page views, time on site, returning visitors, and dozens of other features are all available in your dashboard.
And..unlike other products, we don’t use Google or any other third party services to power our dashboard. That means that your data is your data and it is never sold and never works against you.
Dynamic Reporting
Reward Music has powerful active reporting features. We automatically analyze each of the four main categories of your site, Mavens (those who read the most, know the most and create the most page views), Connectors, (who make the most friends in your community and post the most content), Salesmen (who are constantly selling your products to friends and acquaintances), and your Permission Base, (those who are signing up), and we send you a report comparing your platform performance over the past year. These are features way beyond anything Google Analytics can do.
We also off many other forms of dynamic reporting such as virtually any report you can generate in the Dashboard can be made into an automatic daily dynamic report.
Subscriptions
Reward Music powered artist sites feature a seriously powerful tool, the ability to make any content subscribable. Artists have the freedom to visualize new pathways for satisfying their fans. By creating subscribable music and videos, artists can release their best work in more meaningful and exciting ways.
For fans, subscribing to artists directly is the most beneficial way to receive fan rewards. For the price of a cup of coffee per month, fans have the power to make a huge change for artists, and for the entire music industry, by paying artists directly for their work. When artists can't even make minimum wage from conventional streaming, they need all the support they can get from their fans. Reward Music is the answer. And, unlike Patreon, Reward Music doesn’t touch your money or take a percentage.
It's a win for the artists and the fans.

Crowd Sourced Funding
Obtaining advance funding for your next project may be crucial to your success.

Reward Music enables artists to offer their fans the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and have access to exclusive content, such as sneak peaks inside studio sessions, sales of memorabilia or musical instruments and rare performances or demos. Artists can offer private concert engagements, music lessons and other incentives as they prepare to launch their next project.
Every successful crowd sourced campaign starts with a compelling story.
Tell your story the way you want and tell it to your fans directly through Reward Music’s powerful community tools.
