Artistic Talent Showcased at Pangaeaa.com: New Site Offers Free Venue for Artists, Musicians, and Writers
(PRWEB) April 1, 2008 -- Pangaeaa.com is proud to announce it has surpassed the 600-member mark and is now adding advertisements to its new Web site. The site, which launched in January, allows emerging artists, musicians and writers to showcase and earn income from their various artistic talents by creating a profile page where they can upload music, art or literature for free - as well as sell their work.
"Artists will benefit from Pangaeaa's unique cross-promotion design, a one-stop-shop for all things artistic," said Orlando Palm, one of Pangaeaa.com's founders. "It is an innovative online community for unsigned, unpublished and undiscovered talent."
The site makes all its money from advertising and through commissioned sales. There are no monthly fees or sign-up costs, and its newly launched ad-based income is provided via Google AdSense and Value Click.
"We felt like there was a need for unknown artists to have a place to post their work and literature and receive revenue from it," said Palm, who added that he started up Pangaeaa.com (http://www.pangaeaa.com) with his friends Andre Walker and Trent Smith. At one time, they were musicians who experienced firsthand how hard it is to get artistic exposure. "We've all tried to break into the music industry and we were never able to succeed. It's so hard for new talent to break out."
The site also offers a blog page where members can read about the latest news and events pertaining to Pangaeaa. Unlike other social communities, the site is geared towards serious artists looking for a clean and professional place to showcase their artistic talents. By choosing to be featured on the home page, an artist profile is randomly displayed along with two other artist profiles in the center of the home page for forty-eight hours in order to maximize their exposure. As new artists sign up, they are also randomly displayed at the bottom of the home page in the scroll bar, twenty-four at a time. Within each genre of art, there is a second scroll bar in which only the newest artists in that specific genre, twenty-four at a time, are displayed. Artists are able to create a unique profile page where they can upload a custom masthead, make comments, and showcase their own work. Works of music and literature are all uploaded and downloaded as MP3s and PDFs (eBooks).
"We also plan to add other features to the site, such as the ability for artists and members to comment and give feedback on other artist pages," said Palm. "We will also provide an account area to allow artists to view the number of times their profile(s) have been accessed and how many pieces they've sold and so on."
