4fame.com founder Kevin Linney offers a new way to sell music

Founder Kevin LinneyThe “I BUY MUSIC” Movement Has Begun 4fame.com (@4famemusic) created a better way to promote and sell music

4fame founder Kevin Linney has just launched a new peer-to-peer music sales program, which allows artists and fans the opportunity to sell music together. Now, artists can employ their most loyal and supportive fans by having them help promote and sell their music for a portion of the profit. The peer to peer business model has been successful for Uber and Airbnb, 4fame.com is now applying it to music.

This new method will revolutionize the way music artists connect and collaborate with fans. The record industry has told us that people don’t buy music anymore, which is false. If music is no longer profitable, then why are companies like iTunes and Spotify making so much money? Artists end up making only pennies on the dollar for their talent, hard work, and effort. 

Kevin Linney, founder and CEO of 4fame.com, developed 4fame to combat the new trend of artists giving away all their music for free. “I believe that anytime a music artists gives away his/her music for free, it devalues the music. Music artists are contributing to a culture of consumers that expect to get free music. This trend needs to stop. So, I created a new peer-to-peer selling model, which will financially reward fans for helping to sell the music of their favorite artists.” 

The old models of selling music are no longer viable. This new concept is about music artists and fans building together. Music artists as well as music fans can join the 4fame.com network for free and create user profiles to get started.

Kevin also shared the importance of believing your music can sell: “Artists need to believe in their talent and understand that their passion and creativity can sell, if they tap into a supportive fan base. Music isn’t about likes, views, and followers. It’s about connecting with truly supportive fans that want to help build music careers.” Kevin’s explains his goal in developing this new strategy:  “I hope music artists and true music fans will support the “I Buy Music” movement and join 4fame.com.”
