so a record label hit me up for some custom wordpress work..
"So this portal would be accessible via username and password from our main page http://ribbonmusic.com/, and would lead to the artists to access their publishing info
We have this master spreadsheet where we have all the info, payments, and songs for writers/artists, their syncs and where
Ideally would be cool if each writer or their management could download like an excel with the info too"i replied:
"Ok sounds good, I got a couple of questions:
For the users or 'artists', will they need to be able to create their own accounts with usernames and passwords or will that be managed only by the administrator?
As far as the information that is accessible to the artists goes, will there be any sort of payment/invoicing system involved or will the information be static to the user where only the administrator will have control of what gets presented to them?
Yes, downloading their info onto a spread sheet will be no problem.
Lastly, is there any samples,layouts or mock-ups of how the portal should like like?"
what would u charge? the bands on the label are somewhat big, 30-50k followers each, deafheaven won album of the year...RATATAT is on their label also.. Im assuming they hey money but what would you quote them at?

- They likely don't have as much money as you think. If it's all static content and your not having to pull that information coming from muliple different sourcesshellie
- icksney on the realsnay nameseh.detritus
- You can probably close this fast for 15-20k. But they should spend money interfacing with publishing accounting.shellie
- Depending on what they use i imagine it could be a shit show. Tunecore, organic, and others don't make their shit available to developersshellie
- But at least you can have them avoid inputting everything twice between label side accounting (quickbooks) and the site they canshellie
- Possibly avoid the staggering request from management and lawyers to show them the numbers.shellie
- Oh yes and realistically management will need to be able to add/edit splits, input the contributors PRO like BMI or ASCAP and relevant contact info for those coshellie
- (what Detrius said)Gnash
- *contributors. Also keep songs as drafts until all relavant info is included. It sucks to exploit music with loose endsshellie
- Will there be a client side login that accesses these artist catelogs (with song, info and splits) for the purposes of browsing their music for licensing?shellie
- If so make sure there's a place to submit song key, genre, and searchable keywords per song. Music supervisors love that shit.shellie
- Email me if you want help writing that pitch deck. Ive worked at labels almost all my life. If they know what's good for them they should spend 50-60k buildingshellie
- A useful tool that will save them man hours and make their catelog insanely searchable and generate money too.shellie
- Also they should store relevant signed split agreements and sample clearances.shellie
- I have an example of a master split sheet but there's definately some tables I would add, if they're going to go through the trouble.shellie
- need ur email shellie...arent you in LA ?********
- Shhelie at about dot me. I live in nyc now. But I'll be in LA on sat - 27th.shellie
- Whoops typo. Shellie at about dot me. damn i have a headache.shellie
