Why is MusicJuice the best program to join?
We set a large budget of $100,000 CD/$150,000 Tour, to ensure success. We did not create the program just to help pool money for the artist create the CD or Tour. We are in the business to make sure you, the fans, will be very profitable because of it. Yes we could have made the budget smaller which therefore will be faster to reach the goal but that will take away budget on the most important aspect, Marketing. A great product is useless if there is not great marketing to back it up, on the other hand a so-so product can be successful if it has excellent marketing to support it. That is why MusicJuice is the best program to join, we have the professtional marketing experience and we have the budget to ensure success

What about transaction costs?
If you want to buy a Part in an Artist on MusicJuice, we offer several payment possibilities. Every artist's budget is made up of exactly 10,000 parts. Transaction costs are not included in the amount of money for each part, regardless of the different parts available for investment. Transaction costs include the costs for administration, for fraud check, and a fixed fee for your bank- or credit card company. Normally when you shop online, transaction costs are included in the total price. Because of the unique character of the MusicJuice program, we show the amount of transaction costs as a separate cost on your bill. By the way, the more Parts you buy at the same time, the less you will relatively pay for transaction costs.

Why does MusicJuice solely use the CAD-currency?
Since our company is based in Canada we decided to use the CAD currency as the currency of choice. With the highly fluctuating currency and economic changes in other currency we wanted to choose a currency that will remain relatively stable so the artist budget will be worth just as much as when they signed up for this program.

Why $100,000 for CD Creation, $150,000 for Tour Creation?
We realize that 100k/150k is a lot of money, but all an artist needs is a maximum of 10000 fans who believe in him/her to reach this goal. We have decided to go for 100k/150k for several reasons. First and foremost important reason is quality. For CD Creation we want to give artists the opportunity to record their music in an environment as high quality as any major label would offer them. For Tour Creation we want to give artist the best stage presence, sound and experience that would match a high profile concert. We are convinced that top studios, recording managers and producers are necessary to lift the music from sounding good to sounding excellent. Secondly we chose to send an exclusive version of the CD/Tour DVD to your home. This service already consumes 20% of the total budget. For the exact split please see the the pie chart. Finally and most importantly we want to set aside 50% for marketing, what good is a CD or Tour without top notch marketing and awareness. We want to make state of the art music and let the world know about it as well to ensure, you the fans will reap the most return for your money.

What does MusicJuice get from the $100,000/$150,000?
Nothing, every dollar will be used for the recording of the tracks, manufacturing the Digi-Pack and sending it to the Fans/Or for Tour Creation to rent the venue set up the stage and hire dancers to make the Tour come alive. The MusicJuice team gets nothing out of this money and will only earn a portion of the money if the CD/Tour becomes a success, which is why you can trust that we will do everything we can to make sure the artist will make money on their creation, meaning you the Fan will profit for SURE!!

How much money can I make?
That all depends on what artists you believe in, how successful they are and how active and successful you are as a Fan. Remember now that you are in business together with the artist the more popular he/she is the more revenue will incur because of it. The budget has already set aside 50% for marketing, but nothing can beat a good word of mouth, be proud, play your artist`s music out loud and promote them like you own them, which you really do!!

How do I get the money I've earned with MusicJuice?
Once a month we put our phones off the hook, set our mailboxes to out-of- office, close doors and windows, dust off the old abacus and go counting for a couple of days. After we're done counting and dividing the money, we'll deposit the money you've earned on your balance. Why is this done on a monthly basis and not real time? We need to take into account bounced credit card payments, charge backs and all that sort of jazz.
