ReverbNation.com is a
Music 2.0 company that is responding to the changing music business paradigm.
For ArtistsWe provide innovative marketing solutions that
musicians need to compete, cooperate, and differentiate in an increasingly noisy
online environment. Unlike typical "closed" communities, artists use
ReverbNation as their home base for approaching marketing and promotion across
the Internet as a whole — be it via social networks, blogs, or the artist's
homepage. Tools like TunePaks, FanReach, and Widgets give the artist the power
to spread their music and information virtually anywhere. Real-time stats then
provide a 360-degree view of how the music is spreading, who is listening, and
which fans are actually passing it on to their friends and posting it on their
pages. For more information on what ReverbNation can do for artists,

For FansIt
starts with the listening experience. Queue up some music, kick back, then
browse the site without ever losing the song you are hearing. Here you'll find
more tracks (at higher quality) from your favorite artists because they can post
unlimited songs at up to 160kbps. Hear something you like? Store tracks to your
profile page by "bookmarking" them for later. Use our powerful search function
to find the most recent artists (read: fresh tracks) or artists from your local
area. You can even search songs by lyrics or by genre. We always keep you in the
loop with local show information that is just one click away. Finally, if you
are a true Fan, support the artists you love by grabbing their widgets and
placing them all over the web, or even join their street team. It's easy, it's
fun, and the artists really notice who is helping them. For more information on

For Venues/ClubsYou need to pack your house. You have no
time. We can help. Maintaining a free profile on ReverbNation ensures that when
our fans search for local shows, you show up. But it goes beyond that. Use
FanReach, our FREE email system, to gather new fans from your homepage or
MySpace page, and to keep in touch with your existing list. There is no need to
pay $50-$100 per month to send out email. Let us do it for you for free. Did we
mention that your show schedule can be automatically placed into your emails,
including links to buy tickets? Your show schedule can also be exported to all
of your other web pages using our free schedule widget. Paste the widget one
time on your other sites and it will be updated automatically when make any
changes to your schedule at ReverbNation. For more information on what
ReverbNation can do for venues,

For Labels and ManagersYour goal is to promote your entire
roster of artists across the digital realm. ReverbNation has the FREE tools to
get the music out there and get the fans spreading it for you on MySpace,
Facebook, via email, and IM. We track everything that is happening with your
Artist's content and report it back to you so that you understand what is
working and what isn't. We even offer you the ability to manage all of your
artist pages with one universal login, saving you time over other sites. For

Nothing is more important to Artists than the relationship with their
Fans. All of an artist's financial success comes down to the strength and
breadth of the relationships they have with their fans. It is from those
relationships that artists can earn a living selling music, tickets and
merchandise. It is our mission to provide the tools artists need to create,
nurture, and strengthen fan relationships. We call the total value of these
relationships an artist's Band Equity™, and it is our mission to help artists
maximize this.

Active Fans are the best promoters of music on the
web. Fan attention has become fragmented across the web in a way that mass
marketing no longer makes financial sense (see the demise of radio, music TV).
Today is the age of social networks. Artists cannot be everywhere they need to
be at once, so they need to focus on activating their most rabid fans to promote
them in every corner of the web.

A Music Community is more valuable
if includes all of the members of the community. We believe that fans,
labels, venues, and other folks all deserve a voice in the community if it is
going to be representative of the entire music ecosystem. At ReverbNation, we
invite all members of the community to take part.
