Sampleism has recently added a number of new updates to our service.
Over the past few months we have seen a huge demand for the Sampleism platform from both developers and customers and we have been working hard to keep improving things for everybody involved.
Here are a few things that we have recently introduced that you may or may not be aware of.
Increased Storage Space
We have been trying to increase the amount of space our developers have on our Google Cloud servers for a while. It’s been a tricky process as space is valuable and costly on the Cloud but we have managed to pass on some recent gains to our developers….
> All developers who use Sampleism now have 1GB of free storage space for their kits!
> Developers using our ‘Sound Designer’ service have 3GB of space.
> ‘Sample Factory’ subscribers benefit from 10GB of space.
> Our most prestigious and desirable service ‘Sampling Guru’ will give you unlimited storage space for your kits, libraries, patches and instruments!
Increased Payouts
In an effort to give more back to everybody who uses Sampleism we have re-evaluated how much commission our developers earn. We are always striving to offer the best deal to our users so this has been on our to do list since our inception.
>We are very pleased that we are now able to give everybody a payout of 50% minimum across the board for free.
>Developers using our ‘Sound Designer’ service have a 60% payout
>‘Sample Factory’ subscribers benefit from 75% payout
>Our most prestigious and desirable service ‘Sampling Guru’ will pay you 90% for every sale you make.
Kits listing dates
All kits are now listed by the date they were first published and not when they were first created. This is to prevent new kits getting lost on page 2.
Statistics
We all need statistics when running a sample outlet and here’s an example of the information you can now keep track of…
> How many sales have you made?
> How many people viewed your latest kit?
> How many previews have people downloaded from you?
> How many times has your profile been viewed
> How did my your promotion impact on visitors?
Sampleism gives you all of this in real-time, in great detail, over any time-period and with cool interactive graphs!
Discussion Threads
At the bottom of every page we have included a discussion area powered by Disqus so you can communicate directly with each other. You can also use this area to add extra details, images and videos for your products
More users
We now have over 1000 registered users on Sampleism and this will continue to grow so you can be sure that your latest kits will be viewed by a large and dedicated audience.
More Formats
We have been gradually adding new sample formats and categories for developers to place their products under. There are now 23 formats to choose from including patches, plugins and software. We have new VSTi developers currently working on brand new exclusive software that will appear in these categories soon so, if you make your own audio software we have you covered!
Better Marketing
We have been establishing firm links with some fantastic industry news outlets (blogs, magazines etc) in recent months with very positive results so expect to see new banners, articles and promotions in the very near future as we push to establish Sampleism as the ‘go to’ place for underground, independent sounds. Remember, it’s the developers that count here so we will do what we can for you but we also ask that our users spread the word. After all, word of mouth marketing is king!
Soundcloud demo player embed
The new HTML5 Soundcloud widget has been causing a few issues with some of our users so we have reverted back to the old Flash player for a little while the issue is fixed. Please report any irregularities you may experience.
Sampleism is undergoing constant evolution and as we keep on growing we are always evaluating our service and what we provide to our family of developers and their customers. We value your feedback, ideas and suggestions.
Sampleism is being developed for you so we want to hear what developers and customers alike have to say about what we are doing. Please don’t be shy, we appreciate everything that’s thrown at us, especially pizza and chocolate cake!
We still have several surprises and updates in the works which we think will make everybody happy. We can’t wait to unveil them!
Happy Sampling Everybody!
