A Call For Long Tailors

Interested in helping to weave together a new marketplace for the independent media producer? Prodigem has just launched a new part of its service that allows you to sell your content. Check out more info for all the details, but the gist is that you will shortly be able to upload your content into Prodigem, name your selling price and then have Prodigem collect your revenue while controlling access to the torrent. We take out 10% + transaction costs (PayPal) and then once a month you get a check in the mail. You’re happy, we’re happy and your customers are happy because they get stuff they can own with no DRM. If you want to try your hand at the new market, this torrent shows what everything looks like. The content is a 10 minute documentary I put together and as an example is available for $0.99.

As it so happens, we are currently looking for a handful of people excited by this opportunity with content that they’d like to sell. Please get in contact with our request address if you are interested.
