Today, a new Indie music &amp;quot;1 stop shop&amp;quot; service launches. This is not your average sell your song and get a cut of the proceeds type of service. The new service called &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nimbit.com&quot;&gt;nimbit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has all the bells and whistles to get your indie product noticed!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The competition such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itunes.com&quot;&gt;itunes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snocap.com&quot;&gt;snocap&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.napster.com&quot;&gt;napster&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cdbaby.com&quot;&gt;cdbaby&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.indie911.com&quot;&gt;indie911&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tunecore.com&quot;&gt;tunecore&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.musicane.com&quot;&gt;musicane&lt;/a&gt; all fall a little short in comparison of features and offerings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To compare, check the screenshot below;&lt;/p&gt;
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
&lt;div at:enclosure=&quot;asset&quot; at:xid=&quot;6a00d09e7a1616be2b00d41445411c6a47&quot; at:format=&quot;extra-large&quot; at:align=&quot;left&quot;
    class=&quot;enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-extra-large photo-enclosure&quot; 
     style=&quot;text-align: center; float: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;enclosure-inner&quot;
    
        style=&quot;padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;&quot;
    &gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;enclosure-list&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;enclosure-item photo-asset last&quot;&gt;
    
            &lt;div class=&quot;enclosure-image&quot;&gt;
        
                &lt;a href=&quot;http://rockstarist.vox.com/library/photo/6a00d09e7a1616be2b00d41445411c6a47.html&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://a4.vox.com/6a00d09e7a1616be2b00d41445411c6a47-500pi&quot; alt=&quot;Nimbit&quot; title=&quot;Nimbit&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
        
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;enclosure-meta&quot;&gt;
                &lt;div class=&quot;enclosure-asset-name&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rockstarist.vox.com/library/photo/6a00d09e7a1616be2b00d41445411c6a47.html&quot; title=&quot;Nimbit&quot;&gt;Nimbit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
    
        &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end enclosure --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

Breaking down the list in comparison to services, there are some excellent offerings! In particular, eTickets, merchandising, and the option to pre-sell your next releases. These alone will give you a great advantage, especially in merchandising. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you weren&amp;#39;t aware, most of the revenue your product will generate comes by way of merchandise. Shirts, hats, and other general swag are the bread and butter of any touring acts. Nimbit fees average 20% or less, depending on&amp;#160; what&amp;#160; options you specify.&amp;#160; Expect a press release and&amp;#160; much more promo&amp;#160; today, and in the coming weeks as they are launching today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
