Great feedback 1. Yeah I'm gonna re-think the whole sample player thing. That's not a representation of what the pages look like, that's an embed. And I think I'm gonna kill embeds 2. 100%!! I toiled for days over "semi pro" VS "amateur"
Up and coming :D
Congrats! I have some side projects, and these stories are always very inspirational. Thank you for sharing :) I'm not a music creator. I use SoundCloud (sometimes) to listen to stuff friends of mine make, or musicians I've heard here or there. It's not clear to me if there's a way that you want someone like me to use your site; which is fine, there might not be. If there is tho, I'm not seeing it yet. Design-wise, I…
You're right in that this isn't meant to be used in the same way as soundcloud.
Soubdcloud is about discovery whereas my app songbox is about sharing privately. Most of the music shared in SongBox is pre-release and not for public consumption.
Very cool! Congrats on the revenue milestone. Is there a mobile app? Does it stream or download the songs for offline consumption? There are a lot of authors looking for an alternative to audible. Bandcamp does not work great either due to pricing and their app UX. Songbox currently seems very focused on music but maybe future avenues to explore are podcasts and audio books.
More food for thought.
Very cool! Some questions: * Showing the UI that listeners will experience seems important. Can customers customize the listening pages their listeners will use? * Have you considered offering to sell songs and albums? The listener is right there on your website, listening to a song they like, and now they want to buy it. Will they know how to do that? Will they have to navigate off to a different website? * How long…
1. There are various images on the homepage that show the "listener" UI. Is that not coming across?
2. On the "pro" tier you can offer the tracks for download, but not for sale. This has crossed my mind as a future option but I'm not sure if this is the platform for that right now. Maybe when / if it scales and becomes more mainstream.
Looks great! My suggestion would be to add the percentage discount when you click on "Show Yearly Plans". It's 20% but people suck at math, make it obvious.
Great to see a product find and fill a gap. I'm not in that target group but the product seems good and the landing page is so clean and clear. One note on the Pricing page, the [Show yearly plans] button wasn't obviously a toggle to me so was hesitant to click it for another page load. Turned out to be a toggle switch for current view. Maybe consider showing it as a 'slider' toggle?
I cannot believe how much amazing feedback I'm getting from you guys today. Blown away.
Nice work. Though you might want to be careful about putting an artist like Miley Cyrus on your home page. ;) A volume control woud be nice on the player embed too. (I built amazingradio.com)
Will check out amazing radio later :-)
This is awesome! I dabble in music sometimes and I think this'd be a cool tool for sharing. Don't know if I have any super detailed feedback, but just wanted to say congrats and that's exciting!
Congrats, these things are hard. Could you share some technical details? DB, infrastructure, frameworks, etc? What's your main use case? I can see some audio pros sharing files regularly with their clients (demos, WIP of mixing and mastering, etc).
Framework: laravel DB: MariaDB hosted with jawsDB.com Host: Heroku
Main use case is probably musicians sharing pre-release music with the press / agencies etc but I do have a pretty wide spread. I have schools, businesses, engineers, composers, producers etc. Basically anyone who uses audio files can find SongBox useful.
This is great work.. congratulations on getting consistent earnings from this.
