The new UK based Pledge Music<\/a> has launched their latest platform which aims to help artists raise cash for a new recording project from fans. Pledge doesnt really offering anything too innovative, as Sellaband<\/a> and Slicethepie have been doing exactly the same thing for a while now.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The fan is only charged once the pledge target is reached.<\/li>\n
  2. Pledge takes a 15% commission of funds raised.<\/li>\n
  3. Artist retains 100% of their rights.<\/li>\n
  4. Artist chooses where to record and with whom<\/li>\n
  5. Artist can opt in to making a charitable donation.<\/li>\n
  6. Pledge recommends third party services to help complete the release process.<\/li>\n
  7. The second time you use Pledge our fee reduces to only 10%, provided your first project was successful.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I think that this platform is a great start but really needs a lot of work to really take on the likes of Sellaband.<\/p>\n
