Audiolife ( http://www.Audiolife.com ), the Los Angeles-based Artist Services Company responsible for the development of a new media web-platform specifically designed for indie artists to sell music online and on-demand to fans, is set to "go worldwide" just one week after their public beta launch. The company announced today that beginning Monday, February 9th, 2009, artists across the globe will be able to sell music online directly to their fans anywhere in the world.
"The response from our public beta launch was overwhelming," remarked Audiolife Founder and CEO, Brandon Hance. "Within 24 hours we had over 300 new artists sign-up and begin using our tools for creating physical and digital merchandise. The majority of those have already started selling music and merchandise directly to fans."
Audiolife's international platform will allow artists to:
* Create their own virtual store with an unlimited number of downloads, ringtones, CDs and merchandise items.
* Sell directly to fans on any website, blog or social network on the web.
* Have one central place to design custom products and manage all e-commerce.
* Easily buy high quality, affordable CDs and merchandise with no minimums for live shows and events.
* Focus on making music while Audiolife handles all on-demand manufacturing, distribution, customer service and accounting.
"We will continue to push forward and implement new features that will serve the artist and their fans," added Hance. "Our team has been working day and night since the launch responding to the demands of artists from the U.S. to Canada and the U.K., and we are confident that adding international selling and distribution capabilities is the next logical step toward fulfilling our promise of keeping the artist top of mind: this new feature will give artists everywhere the opportunity to make money with no up-fronts or inventory required."
