Musicgroups.com Network Application
 
 
The MG Network system is a complete turnkey Music Site Solution. This package includes The MG Jukebox, The MG Directory, MG Search, and a complete User Site system. The user site system allows Bands and Musicians to upload music, pictures, videos, and add links for sites, friends, products, and show dates. The MG application includes hosting and administration control panels, also offers live tech support, and archiving services.

We have developed this system as a turnkey package for music sites that wish to join the MG Network, We have many different flavors of our network application as each site is set up and branded to fit the needs of our licensee's.

The low cost of set up and branding can save a new or existing music project hundreds of thousands of dollars. Allowing you to spend your time focusing on your business and users, instead of development, servers, hosting and tech issues.
This system is a complete music solution, and all future upgrades are included in the basic set up fees. The system can also be customized to fit any business model or plan.

The unique aspect of this system is all upgrades are included in your set up fee's the only monthly cost is Internet bandwidth, archiving and tech support if required. All of the MG Network licensee's share the affiliate and built in revenue systems. All costs are deducted from your profits and in most cases your earning 79% of all sales as a network licensee. With the high cost of technical development and maintenance, most music sites never finish their efforts or are lost in the thousands of other sites. This low cost solution can be the one solution that makes or breaks your future business. Every new member secures our business and helps us grow and improve the services we offer. Also allows us to complete against much larger funded sites.

 
  How does it work?  
  The Network application, allows for music sites to join in the global system and grants access to all our developed systems and all future systems. We help you get the tools needed working fast and efficiently, we have both internal systems and external systems that allow sites to join via the area of operation that best suits your business needs.

The internal licensee system involves any of the category or genre pages generated in the static format, seen by search engines and visited by a targeted user base and community. Each user and member is lead to specific categories and genres of interest. These pages make up the core structure of the MG Network, and are shared by all internal and external systems.

The external system involves the 100 plus domains owed by the MG Network, and any additional sites that are joined through the licensing Agreements. These sites have full access to all the features developed and all the future developments, but are customized to best represent the sites genre and focus. If the site just involves bands, the features of the site are built around the jukebox and directory systems and built to their specific needs. While a photography based site would use the gallery and shopping cart systems. As the system evolves more administration and usability aspects will be available for further fine tuning. This is and always will be a work in progress, cutting the very edge of cutting edge.

Our system is based on technology, we have built into our servers and database system, this application serves both dynamic results and statically generated pages. We host the technology and users sites, we can also host the entire network site or even your own dedicated servers. Every aspect of our system can be branded with your info and internal menus or used as is in the MG branded version.. All aspects can be used remotely on additional sites, as well. Our music delivery system currently uses The Flash Platform compatible with 97% of the Internet browsers and working on every major OS. No additional software is required Musicgroups.com is a 100% browser based system. Our system is also completely log-in free for the end user. All banners and branding can reflect your site and info or be handled for you.

 
  Why did we make this available to our competitors?  
 

We don't consider any music site a competitor, as MG Network is collaborative in nature. We encourage all music sites to add their info and join our Network as a member. For many reasons sites may not be able to join the Musicgroups.com Network completely and that is why we have added the standalone modifiable system to our offerings. Anyone that signs up to musicgroups.com or any of the affiliated sites are entitled to free access to the all free member systems, users that pay for the upgrade are granted access to the complete variety of services we offer. These two no cost and low cost options may fit the needs of many sites. Our Network License is geared to large scale music sites with thousands of members, or sites planning on growing large communities.

It is our goal, with your help to provide some of the most hi tech non-bias services ever developed for the web. These sort of specialized technologies only come from the open source style business models, while corporate entities are always biased toward their financial needs. We have essentially solved both problems with our licensing arrangement. By offering these technologies, as part of our standard ISP services, our business model is solely based on raising the capital needed to maintain constant modernization and development of our technology. The advanced features we develop are all available for our licensee companies. All future updates are included in the set up fees. Instead of spending hundreds of thousands in application development, your company can focus on relationships and business development while we focus on technology.

This is a win - win - win solution for you, your users, and our network.

We developed this system to meet the demands of the modern music industry. Our goal is to deliver a fair business model that is opposed to illegal music sharing, yet still offers the end users what they want, which is free unlimited music. Our steaming technology answers this issue, and addresses a few others at the same time. Sites with technology contributions are welcomed to join and specail arangmnets can be made. We hope many failed music sites can possibly be resurrected inside of the musicgroups network, and made profitable.

 
  Answers:  
  1. A big issue we found with Napster and other files sharing models is that users can access bands music with no links or info about the bands. The band or musician receives nothing for the exchange. itunes and other major music systems also reinforce this with no links ever returning to the bands web site(s).
A. Our system allows for a person to listen to the music with out the ability to download the music from the Jukebox. We have an optional digital download system that can be added to the users choices, while still allowing them to sell from any site like CDbaby and Amazon. We allow bands( end user)to link in all their sites, friends sites, product sites, and show dates. All available with one click from the bands promotional hub we generate. This is all done free of charge for the end user, and we do not require any one to log in for any reason other than editing the user info.

2. Corporations seem to always end up biased to a band or company. Some even list those that pay the most at the top of the rankings. Can your system do this?
A. This is fine for a corporate model; we prefer to build a system that is completely non-bias and free to all. Modifications can be made for individual licensees and would require approval and additional set up fees.

3. Can we modify this system to solve X problem? Is your system built to accommodate custom needs?
A. Our system is programmed in PHP, Apache server, and Linux OS, some of the most modern and efficient systems available. All modifications are handled on a case-by-case basis, and basic specs must be developed to make accurate quotes. Feel free to pose any issue, and we will do our best to answer your questions.

 
  The future:  
  This standalone system is designed specifically with the future in mind, by licensing our technology we're subsidizing the future of this product, and guaranteeing this system will remain current with evolving technology. By building a global database system to drive the technology, then is individualized and offered remotely. These services can be instantly updated with out ever needing to access your systems. We will constantly be improving on what already is one of the best systems going.

Currently this system allows bands and musicians to sell directly though any site like CDbaby and amazon.
The future goal is to offer our own digital download solution and make it available to all our licensee sites,
We have many other income opportunities, and will add them as required or on a case-by-case basis.

This turnkey Network application allows any music site, to join the network with a rapid start up, comes with a complete a full-featured music community system. It can be customized to fit almost any music sites needs. We have done our best to design revenue models with out the need to force any info to or from our user base.

This new MG Network package can save both start up's and established sites thousands if not hundreds of thousands. Most importantly, it allows you to focus on your business relationships, while we maintain and improve the technology.

All partners are included in future developments and receive all systems in the beta phase for integration and testing. We do have some requirements, for internal and external MG branded sites. Music and arts, topics only. No e-mail campaigns, no intrusive advertising off any of our network pages, and no tracking or spy ware is allowed at all.

All partners are given private statistics for their pages or projects.

Being part of the MG network allows you to use many of the custom features we've developed, and merges your unique users with all the users from all the other sites in our network, currently over 100 separate music sites.

The small start up fee includes all custom branding and set up costs required, the only cost is for the Internet bandwidth used each month for our external partners. The internal systems included in our partnership offer, include our all our revenue systems for your site.
In those cases most of your costs of business, are included in the package and revenue is paid to you for sales.
At this time most sales have a 70/30 split with the sales person receiving 70% our structure is geared to make or partners comfortable and happy to sell this service. No partner funds are held past proper clearance period, and twice a month all available funds are paid out to the partners the minimum payment is $25 us in those cases funds roll over to the next payment cycle.

We are also willing to make payment arrangement for motivated individuals, and allow them to pay for the licensee from commissions earned. This allows essentially any one to work hard and own your own part of this network. When legal funds are available we hope to change all licensee's in to unique franchisees. A small investment of time can buy you a piece of the next revolution in on-line music communities.
