Help with your Backstage Area: The USync Ambassador Program

Setting up a basic USync.net site and dropping a link to it from your myspace page is pretty straightforward, but if you want a custom look-and-feel or additional bells and whistles to match audience expectations, some technical or web-wrangling skills may be required.

Based on your needs, we can introduce you to a USync Ambassador, a USync member with specific digital and music-specific skills and experience who can be engaged as a consultant on both a fee-for-service and/or revenue-share basis to provide ongoing support and help drive traffic to Backstage Areas.

Use a USync Ambassador to help setup your Backstage area, customise your myspace.com site to drive traffic through to your Backstage store, indeed anything to do with digital music or online audience management. Some can even assist you with music agency-style services such as events production and management, music industry PR, design, and so on.
