然后我讲讲我们如何商业化, 因为它是免费的. 所以我们说, 好, 现在我们可以告诉艺术家你可以定制URL. 所以不是Songlink/某某, 而是Song.link/SnoopDogg或歌曲名, 我们只收取2.99美元, 对, 不直接推月度的订阅费,而是一个功能点的订阅支付, 看看效果如何. 我们产生了大量的收入. 我们超过了10万美元, 但我们叫它漂亮的链接, 这是一个突破, 使我们能够建立分析功能. 现在我们可以让他们添加任何带图标的链接, 意味着他们的商品, 他们的演出票. 它真的成了艺术家的微型网站. 我们当时看到的竞争对手是Linkfire. 他们向艺术家收取几百美元一个月, 提供一些虚假的分析和定制URL. 我们打败了它. 所以我们说, 不, 让我们公开. 让任何人都能查找他们的歌曲或专辑, 能够免费创建一个链接, 并在底部如果他们想定制, 那么我们可以有一个倡导带来的流量呼吁,这是我们在创作者经济中看到的第一次突破。后来我们在播客领域也做了同样的事情, 对, 是相同的渠道, 这使我们能够在第一年内就达到第一个百万用户, 是的 (song link, over a weekend, he was a data camp hacker. Cisco built this product. Came to me, Hey, I don’t know how to make this business. Their music together, and some of his friends had Spotify. He used that whole musicyeah. So what happened, really was we had this small link that just had the Spotify and the apple streaming platforms. He didn’t know business. So I did market research. I found that creators were sharing SoundCloud Spotify, really individual links in their socials. And this before link tree, this is before like the micro website, where you find stack. And I saw that, hey, if we just made a product that one at first, streaming platforms to the link as well as the YouTube video, yes, then artists, record labels, they want to use this, they would use this over that individual link. And that’s exactly what happened? So we just fired. This is when really DMS weren’t really being used. And that was that first unlock. We’re doing, you know, hundreds of DMS per day. We found a way to automate it. We would look up a song or an album from an artist. We would send them their song link and say, hey, I want to give you something for free. I saw that you just released the song. You should use a song link, because you might be missing a fan using Spotify links and not Apple links, right? While that is going on. And we’re like 50 cent and dog and crew fighters and like these, bigger bands. Yes, we were making API partnerships with SoundCloud. These are gandex, YouTube, yes, to be able to be added to the link, and that was the breakthrough, where it’s Wow. Now we can add all this. And then YouTube also recommended a video, so at the bottom, they can actually, if they have a lyric video, it would populate, but also, if they had a music video, and populate, and then it’s like this whole release experience. And that’s what was that that true, amok in the beginning, and that told us how we could monetize, because it was free. So we’re like, Okay, now we can tell the artist you want to make a custom URL. So instead of song link slash whatever it was, Song dot link slash Snoop Dogg or the song name, we just for 299, yeah, not that pushing them into a subscription fee out of the gate, but just the time by for that release and just see how it played out. We were driving a ton of revenue. We reached a little bit over 100k but really we called those pretty links, and that was a breakthrough that led okay. Now we can build analytics attached. Now we can allow them to add any link with an icon, meaning their merch, their tickets. And it really became this micro website, just provider for all the artists. And what we saw from competitors was link fire. They were charging artists a few $100 per month for some BS analytics and some custom URLs. We beat it. So we’re like, no, let’s make this public. Let’s allow anybody to look up their song or album, be able to create a link for free and at the bottom if they want to customize it, then we can have that call to action, but I don’t want to keep rambling, but that was like that first turnkey moment where we saw that was happening in the Creator economy, and eventually, that’s what led to the podcast being because it’s, it’s the same thing, right? Yes, the same channels, and that allowed us to really find reach that first million users, I would say, over this, that first year, yes, sure. Then, yeah)
