FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 7, 2010 --

(Seattle, WA) 5-7-2010 After seeing Sellaband.com raise the fees they collect from both artist and sponsors. Luke Hudson (Netvalar) of Evolution Coop realized there had to be a better way. Working out a simplified format for content creators to crowdfund on their own sites was easy. However Crowdfunding platforms still retain a community have potential sponsors. Content creators find it difficult to motivate their fans to promote their crowdfunding projects. Reaching deep into the marketing industry Evolution Coop may have found the middle ground. Using affiliate marketing content creators can more easily motivate their fans, while gaining new sponsors promoting their projects.

By taking a few options from Netvalar's crowdfunding incentive template. The following was put up as incentive lists for crowdfunding the compiling of "What is Record Label 2.0 the blog" into "What is Record Label 2.0 the book". 1)Preorder the book for $10, 2)Book format of current free digital reports sent to your home for $10 This includes "Offline Music Strategy", "Start a Video Strategy", "Amazon Affiliate Music Strategy" and 2 unreleased reports, 3)Your Name, URL, and a 160 character bio included in a special section at the back of the book along with a copy for yourself for $18.There will be a max of 25 of these available, 4)All of the above in 1 package deal for $25. There will be a Max of 5 of these packages total. It is the addition of an affiliate program (paying 15% on incentive number 2) that makes this project stand out.

Past crowdfunding sponsors, artists, and other music professionals have recently been saying crowdfunding is merely a fad. Luke Hudson (Netvalar) of Evolution Coop is working diligently to move the industry away from middle men. Placing more of the process into content creators hands with all the responsibilities and privileges that entails. Once this combination of crowdfundng and affiliate marketing is shown to work. It is assumed the need for crowdfunding platforms as middle men will decrease. They will need to add better resources to succeed such as educational tools for successful funding and post funding of projects.

Evolution Coop has been organizing free to distribute E-Reports to help in providing the required education. Currently working on a business plan where people with specific knowledge can create E-Courses. With the key part being the ability to earn from their hard work of creating these E-Courses. While making the E-Courses free to take for both content creator and sponsors. By working in both of these directions it is expected that an example will be shown for crowdfunding platforms to move forward.

On the basis that the industry does not move forward the entire process will be kept simple and easily duplicated.
