    Anyone interested to take over the topindiemedia.com site?

    The reason for me to start this site was to setup a business where you can again where you can
    get financial return by producing music and videos. Meanwhile the MP3 and Youtube video has been free so independent producers couldn't get any return from their work. For me again to produce something has been out of the question without getting something out of it. The production does not cost anymore so much as it was for before, so selling only few thousand downloads below $1 could make the investment back and all further goes to profit.
    And selling those to mobile devices using mobile operators networks for small payment which is aggregated to mobile user monthly bill can be the answer for the problem.
    So, I used the best open source software available FFMPEG and PHPMotion to setup an independent artists community website at Online artist community, digital distribution for indie music, independent artists and independent film makers. and start from there. Its hosted on crayonhost.net dedicated servers giving much better quality than Youtube had and costing for me only $5 per month.
    I have made some modifications to the code and fixed several bugs.
    But to my surprise, Independent Producers and Artists community are not interested to be able to earn money being probably too satisfied giving their creation to Google using Myspace/Youtube free to make Google richer.
    Have Google making money already enough having 80% commission between advertiser and marketeer?

    I have made a lot of marketing efforts and several artists producers has been promising to join, but usually they never do.

    The site is in top of Search Engines for several key phrases but still getting only few visitors per day.

    To develop it further, following will be needed:
    1. Setup a Bango Target US or UK account (depending the target market) to get out maximum mobile billing payout rate costing US $499 / £299 per month and develop our own commission management system for it.
    2. Develop an iPhone application. I already have developed the server side for it.

    I do not have resources to finance those.

    If I will not get anyone interested to take it over, I will shot down the site within a month two when renewal date is due.

    Im surprised that nobody isnt interested to sell media production to the mobiles and earn money from it?
    It takes over 1 EURo/Pound for the user on lowest mobile data rate countries like Spain, UK to download the clip anyway. In France, it could take some 6-8 EURos. No mobile internet operator is willing to go lower to prevent Mobile Skype kind of thing to happen.
    Lets put the price 1.79/1.99 and get 50 pence to the artist!!!
