Create Offers, Needs, Posts & Events

  1. Why should I create Offers and Needs?

    Offers and Needs are the core of Music2Deal. They make your profile visible, trigger matches and notify relevant contacts. Without them, it is very difficult to generate deals. To be deleted: On Music2Deal, each song is part of an Offer. You can upload your music by creating an Offer as an artist, as a song, as a licensing or as a vocalist.

  2. Why can’t I create a new Offer?

    • An Offer is what you have – for example music, artists, or services. • A Need is what you are looking for – for example songs, artists, or business partners. To be deleted: With a Basic Membership you can only have one Offer active. So in order to create more Offers you need to be a Premium member. To upgrade your membership, go to My Account and choose the membership you want. If you are a Premium member and you have reached the maximum number of 5 offers, you’ll need to upgrade to Premium Plus (25 Offers) or Premium Executive (50 Offers).

  3. What types of Offers can I create?

    Each category has a different purpose: Songs → compositions for artists and projects Licensing → music for film, TV and commercials Artists → for live performances and record deals Vocalists → for live and studio work Because each category has a different purpose, you may need to upload the same song multiple times to reach the right audience and improve matching.

  4. When should I use a Post or Event instead of an Offer or Need?

    Use a Post or Event to share updates, news or general information. Events can be online (with a URL) or offline (with a location). You can also use Posts to highlight your Offers or Needs and increase their visibility. Groups allow you to exchange ideas with members who share similar interests. Use Offers and Needs for concrete business opportunities. To be deleted: 20

  5. How do I create an Offer or a Need?

    You can create Offers and Needs in two ways: • Use the blue “+ Create” button on the left side of your Feed • Or use the input field at the top of your Feed (“My Network”) You can also manage, create, edit, delete and share them inside the Your Offers & Needs section. To be deleted: Just click on "publicar solicitudes" in the section you wish to find what you’re looking for. This could be for an artist, for a song, for a license, for a vocalist or for a member. You have to write your Need in your local language and also in English so that Music2Deal members from other countries can read it.

  7. Why can’t I create more Offers?

    Basic members can have one active Offer. Premium plans allow more Offers depending on the level. If you cannot create additional Offers, you may need to upgrade your membership or deactivate an existing Offer. If your membership changes to Basic, additional Offers will be set offline automatically. As a Basic member, you can activate and deactivate your Offers, but only one Offer can be active at a time. In general, the more Offers and Needs you create, the higher your visibility and chances for business opportunities.

  8. Why am I not found as an artist, singer or songwriter?

    Your profile alone is not enough to be found for specific music opportunities. To appear as an artist, vocalist or songwriter in the platform, you need to create an Offer in the corresponding category. For example: Artist → create an Artist Offer Vocalist → create a Vocalist Offer Songwriter → create a Song Offer Offers are what other members search for and what the system matches.

  9. What is an “Always Needed” and how is it different from a Need?

    An “Always Needed” describes your ongoing main requirement and is set in your profile (“Edit Profile”). It is visible as a permanent request to other members. For specific or time-limited requests, you should create a regular Need under Your Offers & Needs.

Profile Success

  1. What is Profile Success Score?

    Imagine, if you go to a business event and stay in a corner, what will be happen? Nothing. Same hold for Music2Deal. So it is important to have a good profile including a profile picture. Moreover you need Offers and Needs to get attraction and they will lead to visitors for your profile which might bring in other business possibilities. Last not least, you need business friends which matches to your business. As it is important to stay in contact with them all your business friends on Music2Deal will be informed about new Music Offers and Needs. But also check out with whom you are business friends with. For example If you are a singer without writing songs it makes no sense to be connected to a publisher. So such a business friend will not match to your business and the success rate will not increase.

  2. What is the algorithm behind "Profile Success"?

    a) Perfil (máximo 30 %):
    Una foto te dará 10 créditos. 5 créditos por tu ciudad. Dos créditos por cada dato de tu perfil que rellenes y 1 crédito por cada «Siempre necesario». Cada entrada adicional en tu perfil también te dará 1 crédito.

    b) Ofertas y necesidades (máximo 30 %)
    La oferta o necesidad recomendada para tu perfil te dará 10 créditos.
    Cada oferta adicional te dará 3 créditos y cada necesidad adicional te dará 2 créditos.

    c) Número de amigos coincidentes (máximo 40 %)
    Cada amigo empresarial que coincida con tu perfil = 0,5 puntos

    Además, el éxito de tu perfil también se verá influido por tus visitas a Music2Deal.
