Hey guys,
Scott James and I have recently developed a new application for musicians and I'm looking for 10 beta testers. First come, first serve. This thing rocks. I had Scott help me create it because I wanted it for myself. We have decided to share it with the public as well.
Here's what it is and does...
It's called Viral Music Player and it's a simple to use player. Upload a track, enter some info, get some code, paste it on your site. Done.
But, when someone clicks on the player a pop up appears explaining that in order to unlock the player the user must click either a Facebook share button, a FB like button, or a Twitter retweet button (your choice during set up). The user clicks the button, a message appears on their wall saying that they just listened to your track and everyone else should too (you enter the message during set up), and the player unlocks and automatically begins to play.
When people see the message on facebook or twitter they click on it and are taken to the page of your choosing. Assuming that is the page with the player on it you will conceivably generate a loop of viral traffic.
This is what I need...
This is going to be a paid product. Because hosting is provided for the tracks there are some bills to be paid on our end. Thus, licenses will be annual. We would like to offer 10 people free copies of VMP. In return we ask for feedback from you about how you like it, what you like most, what you don't like, what kind of results you experienced, etc. We also ask that you send us a video testimonial that we can potentially use on our sales page. This doesn't need to be anything more than you in front of your web cam for 30 seconds saying what you think of the product and what results you got. And we want you to be 100% honest. We are not looking for fake positive reviews. If you don't like it, you're free to say that.
We should be ready to go into beta testing within the next 48 hours or so, we are looking for people who can put it to use and give us that video testimonial within 4 or 5 days of beta testing. I'm also happy to work with you via email if you have any questions or need assistance with the product.
I think this thing really kicks butt and I think you guys are going to dig it. Our hope is that it becomes one of those "everyone must own" kind of tools.
Please respond below. I'll email you if selected. This will be first come first serve and then this thread will be closed.
Thanks guys.
Having trouble with your marketing? Wish you could have an experienced direct-to-fan marketing expert look over your actual campaigns, music, or content and offer feedback? Or perhaps you’re just looking for a little one-on-one assistance so you can ask questions that pertain to your specific goals and get a second, more experienced, perspective? Click here to book a session with me now.
Hey John, sounds pretty cool! Put me on the list of potential testers!
What would a jam session with Gordon Lightfoot, Collective Soul, and Damien Rice sound like?
Check out Greg Parke and you’ll have a pretty good idea!
Hey John,
This sounds totally awesome and I'd love to be a part of it. However, I'm not in an active music project, so I don't think it would be fair to rob someone of the 10 potential spots.
The way you describe it, it sounds like it will be of huge value for bands. On paper it sounds like a no-brainer! Best of luck to you and Scott with it!

Interesting idea John
I would like to join and provide video feedback in Russian.
With respect,
Serge
Hi John.
I'll volunteer to give it a try.
Regards,
Paul
John, I'd be interested in giving your code a look at and seeing how the application would work on my current website, etc.
Does it help at all if I host my own track on my own? I mention this because I'm doing that already anyway.
I'll be in San Francisco this weekend, but other than that I will have time to beta test.
Let me know.
Cheers,
Will
John
I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
Regards,
Scott

I'll buy it now. You probably already have your 10 testers. I'm pretty slammed over the next few days anyway, so I don't want to feel like I'm letting you down if I don't give you feedback or a testimonial as fast as you'd like. But I don't want to wait a month for you to release it.
If I like it, and I can offer you feedback, I'm happy. If I don't like it, and I can offer you feedback and support you financially in the things that you do to help us market our music, I'm still happy! Either way I'll buy the beta now. That is, if you'll let me and if it's comparable in price to other plugins/scripts I've seen you recommend.
Hey John,
You've gotten plenty of responses, but if you find you still have a slot I'd love to give it a go. I've actually got a new song 'in the can' that I was literally going to sent to my list/twitter/fb tonight. And we could use some viral action to be sure. I've done a fair amount of software qa in my time as well.
Thanks, and good luck with the project!
Daniel
