This might be one of those ideas that a lot of people have no use for. But what if there was the ability to sign up as an artist/musician etc.
Artists then have a special gallery for uploading their art work and musicians have a mini store they can upload their music to and members can buy their songs if they like them. Then the majority of the money goes to the musicians paypal that they have designated and a margin goes to the sites paypal ( a % set by the admin ).
This might step on the toes of the classified section, audio and gallery sections, but it might be a nice addition.
Anyone agree/disagree?
Make Meaning Or Die
I really like the idea and the whole concept but wouldn’t want to manage allowing them to sell their music over my website.
But other than that I think it would be wonderful to give people artist status or something.
Also for those Movie Directors that like to make movies you can make director status. It is basically having the same account but focuses more on their interests?
Thanks Tyler. Maybe the whole selling isn’t a good idea. But yeh, definitely giving them seperate statuses is a good idea, IMO.
I love the idea and I think many people would appreciate it if they could get that status.
The selling could possibly be good but I know I wouldn’t want it or use it.
Im starting to agree Tyler, perhaps we could just expose them, and they deal with selling it and whatnot theirselves.
Yea, sorta like Myspace does. It could be an option but could end up hard on the admin end.
Which option would be hard? The selling? If so, I agree now. My mind has been truly changed :p
Some what only thing I don’t like about allowing members to sell stuff is just I don’t wanna handle complaints from users. Also I don’t want my free site to look like I’m charging for anything when truely it is the user. But it could be a good option for some sites but I wouldn’t like it. I would think it would be somewhat of a hassle at times.
I do like the idea of the status concept of artists & possibly vid directors.
Yah Tyler, I completely see what you are saying and agree.
the whole selling isn’t a good idea. But yeh, definitely giving them seperate statuses is a good idea,
That should be easy to implement with default functions, fields editor and a bit more advanced membership levels builder, which is now already in works.
