WhoTune.com announced the launch of their new Fan Funding platform for unsigned and independent artists. WhoTune.com is an online music community that offers promotional tools for artists.

Artists can create a project video which tells potential sponsors what the funds raised will be used for, such as recording a new single or album, video production and tour support. Artists then set a target for the funding amount & a timeframe in which to reach the goal amount. Sponsors will receive incentives, like T-Shirts or concert tickets, for different pledge level.

Once the funding goal amount is reached in the time frame selected, the funds are drawn down via Paypal & made available to the artist to complete their project. If the goal amount is not reached No money is taken & the artist is free to try again.

Youtube reaches 4 billion views per day, which is a 25% increase over the past eight months. About 60 hours of videos are being uploaded to Youtube every minute, compared to 48 hours uploaded in May. However not all videos viewed on Youtube are being monetized – only 3 billion videos are. Youtube is focusing on partnering with media outlets for original programmings and creating better opportunities for advertisers.
