An artist machine for more exposure & more gigs

GigLinx™ Your Support



I’m looking for funding support for the development of GigLinx™, an
online platform to empower independent musicians with more exposure
and more gigs while providing a time/resource-saving platform for
venues and those who hire musicians. 



GigLinx

GigLinx is a two-phased platform: 



• A machine for more exposure and more gigs – empowering 
  independent musicians



• A means for venues/event planners to find and book musicians –
  saving time and resources to find quality musicians



Artists – Phase 1

• Dedicated webpage – unlimited updates to content, photos, music and videos

• Social media dashboard – one place for posting & scheduling, measuring growth


• FanIndex™ rating – proprietary ranking based on current social media following

• Marketing toolkit

• Access to marketing and promotion professionals

• Searchable database inclusion

• MORE GIGS



Venues/Event Planners – Phase 2


Phase 2 of GigLinx will allow venues/event planners to quickly search and evaluate artists for bookings. Search and sort on our FanIndex™, genre, price range while listening to a preview. The FanIndex is our unique rating tool that reflects artist fan base and reach – the higher the FanIndex, the larger the audience. Then book directly with the artist.

• Direct access to musicians
