Acabo de recibir un E-mail de Kozomo Team, y como leyendo algún que otro post he visto que la red está llena de timadores, y yo el tema de Internet no lo domino demasiado, me gustaría saber si sabeis algo de esta gente. El tema del E-mail decía así:
Asunto You and your music have been selected to be part of an incredible money making oppurtunity. (Jaime Areste)
You and your music have been selected to be part of an incredible money
making oppurtunity.
Johnny Wright (the manager to some of the biggest names in the music
industry) once said:
"People need to understand about the music business that the last person to
get paid is the artist."
Well, NOT ANYMORE! KoZoMo is here!
Are you an independent artist looking to make money from your music career?
Would you like a chance to jump start that career at absolutely no cost or
risk to you? How would you like your very own CD released and exposed to
thousands of music lovers all over the world without a single penny coming
out of your pocket or a single contract to sign? And, on top of ALL that,
how would you like to be driving around your hometown in a brand new
KoZoMobile car!!!
Welcome to KoZoMo, The Future of Independent Music! We will manufacture
your CD and make it available to thousands of paying customers at ZERO cost
or risk to you. You have absolutely nothing to lose.
We know this sounds too good to be true with all of the "no risk", "no cost
to you", "win a FREE car!", but keep reading, this is very real! Why would
we make independent musicians such an amazing offer? Because the music
industry is rapidly changing. Online marketing and sales are gradually
taking over the music scene, especially when it comes to hard-working
independent musicians such as yourself.
KoZoMo aims to help these struggling artists boost their exposure and their
credentials when they may not normally have the time or budget to do so on
their own. At KoZoMo, not only do we help independent artists directly,
but we encourage artists to, in turn, help other artists that are in a very
similar situation to their own. We are looking to build an entire network
of independent artists that can stand on its own and compete with some of
the biggest names in the industry!
OK, now to the specifics of what you have to do and/or have to get started
and become one of the first of many successful artists at KoZoMo:
1. You must have at least 5 completed songs for CD distribution. These
songs do not have to be absolutely perfect studio quality recordings, but
they must be of high enough quality to entice someone to buy your CD. If
you are unsure about the sound quality of your music, you can send us a
sample and we will either accept it or help you with tips and/or services
to improve your quality. We may be able to also arrange studio time for you
in certain areas of the country.
2. You must provide your own album cover artwork. The insert of the CD
will include the Cover Art on the front and your tracklisting/contact
information on the back. You can make this yourself, or have someone else
do it for you. The artwork represents you and your music, so you are free
to use anything you like as long it is not copyrighted by someone else.
When completed, you will send us your artwork in JPG format. You also have
the option of using the Kozomo default cover for your CD if you cannot get
one made.
3. You must agree and verify that you have the rights to every piece of
music that will be included on your CD.
Once you meet those simple criteria, here is how the process of turning you
into a money making independent artist will work:
1. Once we have your songs and your album artwork, you will be added to
the KoZoMo.com website with your own page and store for free. Each page
will feature a picture of the artist or band, a brief bio, a link to their
official website (not required), a sample clip of their music, and of
course a link to purchase their CD.
2. When someone buys your CD, the money will be split up as follows (below
is an example for a CD selling at $10, the rest of the pricing breakdowns
can be seen at http://www.kozomo.com/faqs.htm ):
There is a 20% manufacturing and handling fee for each CD, leaving an $8
profit. The $8 is split evenly between KoZoMo and the artist ($4 and $4),
which means you make $4 on every CD that sells at retail. (Remember, this
is a 100% profit for you, because you never pay anything at anytime.
KoZoMo covers all manufacturing AND shipping costs!)
3. You will receive daily updates of your earnings and royalty checks once
a month.
We need talented artists that meet the above criteria and are ready to be
part of something big to officially launch Kozomo.com . You have been
hand-selected as a possible candidate because after hearing your music, we
feel that you have the ability to sell records. You can see the very early
stages of KoZoMo at http://www.kozomo.com . Once we get the "launch artists",
then the site will be completed along with a full community and tons of
other great features for you and other independent artists.
If you are interested in this very exclusive offer to help you start making
money at no cost or risk to you, then simply reply to this email letting us
know, and we will give you further instructions.
The answers to most of the frequently asked questions, including "When and
how do I get my FREE CAR?!", are listed at http://www.kozomo.com/faqs.php
