Music fans can earn cash for creating, distributing and selling their own mixes across the web with the help of Mixaloo.

The traditional mix tape concept represents a powerful form of self- expression and exciting way to discover new music. Mixaloo replicates that experience in bringing the mix tape to the Net generation, rewarding music fans with three simple steps:

• Mix – Choose from a selection of more than three million songs to create the mix, including every major label and thousands of independent artists.
• Market – Distribute the mix with 30-second song samples inside a widget to any personal Web site such as MySpace, Facebook or Blogger; or via email directly to friends.
• Earn – Receive half the profit from every sale of each digital mix tape. In addition, collect points from each sale that can be redeemed for cool stuff like music gear.

“Everyone’s favorite songs are closely tied to the experiences and memories they represent, which makes creating and sharing mix tapes such an enjoyable way for people to express themselves,” said Mark Stutzman, CEO and co-founder of Mixaloo. “We created Mixaloo to merge that experience with the viral nature of blogs and social networking communities, giving users the added incentive of earning cash for popular mixes. This ’social record store’ creates a vast network of personal recommendations to increase sales and visibility for artists of all sizes.”

To help users discover new music, Mixaloo provides recommendations of similar artists worth checking out based on their searches. Users can also earn points and continually improve this function by adding their own recommended artists on searches that turn up a limited number of suggestions.

Mixaloo rewards music fans for creating, distributing and selling digital mix tapes in the social media environment, offering cash and choice merchandise to mix-makers who successfully market their handiwork. With a simple interface and over three million songs to choose from, including every major label, Mixaloo makes it easy for users to promote their favorite songs and discover new music. The company is based in Poughkeepsie, New York.
