ReverbNation for Artists

The app provides fantastic opportunities to focus on the direction of my music. A ton of information can be gleaned!! The Press Kits are very impressive. Customer service is effective and efficient with answering questions. It can be difficult to navigate to certain things in the app. Like the Tools don't appear to be accessible from the profile page and finding how to develop my fan base. And many of my fans are confused on the process of becoming a fan. It is also confusing how to get to the websites that they provide for the artist. I can't find a direct link on my phone.. it's probably there . I just can't find it quickly from my profile page.

Most brand new artist are coined the term starving artist. I think it would be really dope if you still had opportunities (maybe not as many as the basic plan but still quality) opportunities that help the artist get to the next level of basic. SoundCloud helps you build a fan base for free. You wouldn't know this but artist pay out a lot of money. Yes, of course you should get paid too and that's where the free works up to the basic from the opprtunities you have presented. Look at it like this. Artist get gigs you get paid. Money is made to be spent but if you don't have it? How can you spend it? A free option with limited boundaries would probably make your company grow a lot more. Think of how many people would choose ReverbNation over another platform.

The overall UI re-design is pretty nice. I’m able to quickly update various aspects of my Reverbnation artist page, check stats etc. I gave it 3 stars as the show entry changed a bit from prior releases where you had more flexibility to add a non-traditional show with a customized name along with a location. Now you enter a name or location and you are forced to select any found results from a list that is internally generated and you can’t change the text of the name of the venue. I can understand the simplification this was attempting to accomplish, but really prefer to have the prior flexibility. Also, shows entered under the old way and even newer ones cannot be edited. They must be deleted and reentered. Hopefully, the flexibility of the older show entry can be put back as I use this info in a widget to display in other web contexts so I can nicely maintain my show list in one place.

Seriously, where do I?........ I’m a lifetimer of RN. Seriously this app (and service) is so underrated! Every time I login I feel a sense of nostalgia. I have grown up with revernation. All I got to say is thank you, I’m number 2 in songwriting in Memphis TN and I about to be number 1. Since I was a teen y’all have helped me tremendously. You have Encouraged me and given me the resources to be heard, as well as how user friendly the app is. I could say so much. Seriously though, fires on all cylinders, I cannot thank you enough RN. Thanks for the constant encouragement and support. It keep me going! Much love and god vibes

The app is so-so. The stats are based on algorithms that determine how good you "might" be. ReverbNation itself is just a place where you can spend good money so people can hate on your music. Artist tools are a joke and you can only promote if you have $1,000s of dollars a week to spend. Even so, the ad campaign is merely a banner on random sites. A banner that you could generate for free using HTML formatting. Fanreach is merely spamming people. Unless you're Metallica, Barrun/Runes or Lil Wayne, no one will read your emails. When people have nothing negative left to say, they'll use go-to tripe like, "you're out of tune" or "over processed". Good points exist, though. It's a great place to post your music. It's a great way to showcase your talent to your friends and family. I just recommend not using crowd review.
