Getting Started with PLUGOLA

I'm glad to see that some of you have taken the step and have begun to experience what PLUGOLA can do for you and your music. I know it's a bit slow at the moment, but we're just getting the ball rolling into public cyberspace. That doesn't mean you can't begin telling your fans and friends where to find your music.

After you have uploaded your MP3s and/or videos they will be available in your personal media player. By default, the player will only play 30 second clips of your songs/videos, to the public. You can change this to play full in your "Account" page. You control all your content from that page (ie: pricing, duration, plugging, etc.). Once you have configured your player, you're ready to begin digitally distributing your music.

There are several ways to begin spreading your music. For starters, you can send web traffic directly to your profile where your media player/store is always displayed. You are also given the option to customize your profile page anyway you see fit. To get your your shorter, direct link to your profile; just click on your profile photo. A small window will display with your contact info and you will find your link highlighted in red (see screen shot to right).


If you already have a profile or web site elsewhere and you would just like to use the media player/store to sell your MP3s/videos, that's ok. You can easily embed the PLUGOLA player on any web site or profile page that allows HTML (please check the 'terms' of web hosts or social networks to be sure you can use third party widgets). All you must do is click on the red "Get the code" button on your media player. Once the code is displayed, click the "Copy" button, then paste the code where you would like it displayed on your site. Your fans and other PLUGOLA members can listen/preview/purchase all within the player, itself; without leaving your website.

For your die-hard fans, and at your discretion, you may also allow your music and videos for "affiliation" (in your "Account" section), or better known as, "Plugging". Once someone purchases any of your content set to 'affiliation', they can request to re-sell, or "PLUG" your music to others. You can set their commission as an incentive to any percentage you feel is fair, and this is only possible by your approval.

These are just a few tips to help you get started using PLUGOLA to it's full potential. We will be posting more tips & tricks as we go along, so be sure to stay tuned or subscribe to be kept up-to-date.
