Wow, guys! 2020 has really been that year, but through it all, we are still here, and alive, now that’s something worth raising a glass and dancing to. And who has the best lineup of Music for that supa dance??? Epoh Music!
Yes, that's right. It’s that time of the year where our hearts are warmed and our feet quick to dance because we are grateful for the year we have had.
All through this year, we have worked to improve the platform to ensure that you have a great experience when streaming and dancing to your favourite songs.
We have added the baddest albums and singles of the year, and guess what, there is a song for everyone!
We have also added some new and exciting features on the platform that allows you to connect with your friends and explore our business tools to make CASH!
So what’s new?
THE SHARE BUTTON
I particularly love this feature because it allows you to connect with your friends who are not on the platform, they get to see what you’re listening to and can listen to it also.
But how?
On this updated version of the site, when you open an Album page, you’ll see a share button at the top. When you click on this button you can share your album/ this album with your friends on social media.
They will get the message of the link to the album you shared in their message inbox, their WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Facebook messenger, basically any social media platform of your choice.
ARTIST ACCOUNT VERIFICATION
This is a very important update on the platform. There are 3 different types of account on the platform: the Regular account, the Artist account, and the Show organiser account.
All these accounts give you access to stream songs on the platform unlimited, buy show tickets and even buy songs. But for the artist account, unless you apply for verification, your account will simply function as a regular account.
Why?
Because verification grants you access to features that will allow you to take over the rights of your song on the platform. This way you’re able to make your song available for sale at your chosen price or available for free download
How do I get verified?
When you sign in to your artist account, you’ll see a verification icon at the top of your home screen. When you click the icon it will direct you to the verification page.
Please fill in your details correctly and provide all necessary documents. This is very important because we don’t want impostors coming to claim the right to your song and making money off them by putting it up for sale.
And the contract?
Yes, the contract. The contract is for the song sales feature you have to sign a contract showing that you agree to the terms and conditions of song sales on the platform.
This used to be a compulsory step, but in our recent update, it has been made optional. So if you’re not ready to put your songs up for sale, you can skip this part and sign when you’re ready to start selling.
If you don’t sign the contract you won’t be able to give the rights for sale, but you can give right for the song to be streamed and downloaded for free on the platform. The free download is also optional.
To sign the contract later just go to your settings page and click on the account management option for a link to the contract page.
Wait a minute!
The contract must be duly signed when you upload it back on the platform, otherwise, the contract will be invalid.
SHOW TICKETS
In our last blog post, we talked about the process of uploading and selling your show tickets on the platform. So this time we added something a little extra.
Links to the page of show tickets put up for sale that were shared before, during and after a show will now remain active after the show and always.
What’s the difference?
Previously, after the show, the link to the ticket page expires. Now you can still view the details of the show wherever you need to refer to it.
I hope you found the post helpful. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section, I’ll be waiting. Have a supa dancing December!
