Music fans support your favourite artists via an ethical platform.
Go To Hear promises to be a community-based music discovery, download, streaming, and promotional platform, where you can interact with your favourite artists and earn rewards for sharing their music.
With Go To Hear following the music you love, searching for new releases, and keeping up to date with music industry news will be easier than ever.
The platform will offer you the means to actively engage with musicians.
Using an innovative split-reward blogging facility, you’ll be able to help promote a new release, and share in the income that’s generated through merchandise sales and downloads.
You’ll also be able to earn recurring income for paying members signed up under your user name. Invite your friends and connections to join, and for each one who becomes a paying member, you’ll receive $2.50 monthly recurring income once the platform is live.*
Go To Hear offers a more ethical option for listeners who care how their money is spent because under this new revenue model artists receive better rewards for their hard work.
* Notes Affiliate payments will be paid monthly, once our platform is live. Affiliates will be paid in Go To Hear crypto-currency tokens at the equivalent $ value at time of payment. Affiliates will be paid for paying members only.
Strange question? Well, not really because more and more these days I seem to be contacted by artists who create their own works but don’t see themselves as composers and by composers who simply don’t see the wider value in the work they create. The recent fuss in the States about the la...

Why do other platforms encourage fans to promote music but then take all the rewards for their hard work.
Surely it makes more sense to fairly reward everyone who does the work… like on Go To Hear.
Important Note: The above features are for Musicians only.
How do I share/promote my music to earn?
Click your profile icon (located at the top right corner of the screen)
Scroll down the menu and click on My artist page
Scroll down to your tracks
Click the share button for the track you want to share
Click the share buttons (Twitter/Facebook/Linkedin/Share with a link) and share the track to your followers.
NOTE: You can create new links each time you share something or copy old ones.
To copy old links and share them again, just copy the url from the Link ID in your dashboard .
You can reuse any links like this, for your music or any other artists music you've shared.
Don't forget you can earn from sharing other member's content, not just your own.
If you share other member's content you will automatically share any affiliate income with the content creator.
That means your fans can share your content too, and you will both share the affiliate income.
How do I upload music?
Adding a new track on Go To Hear is easy:
Click your profile icon (located at the top right corner of the screen
Remove the tick from the visible button - this will hide your music from all members
NOTE: If you wish to physically delete music or any other personal data from our system then please contact support with your request.
This is easy to do, log in and click on the support button on the bottom right of the screen or email admin@gotohear.com we will be happy to help.
Can I charge for my music?
COMING SOON – we are currently working on this functionality.
We do already allow you to set a download sale price when you add your music, this in readiness for when sales are introduced to the platform.
How do I sell downloads?
COMING SOON – we are currently working on this functionality.
You can already set a sale price when you add/edit your music.
Members will soon be able to purchase tracks for download, until then tracks are not available for download and are stored in an encrypted format.
Music licensing – how does it work?
By signing up to the Go To Hear platform you’re granting Go To Hear and its members a non-exclusive direct licence to play and promote your tracks.
This license allows our members to market & promote you and your music.
IMPORTANT: Our unique security and revenue model prevents anyone from 'giving away' your music or cutting you out of the deal.
Ultimately our platform's aim is to protect your music, yet at the same time harness your fan base, widen your audience, and help you earn more money from what you are really good at... making music.
More details of our Terms and Conditions can be found here
Can I get paid for streaming my music?
We are currently considering the functionality to allow you to set a streaming price when you add your music.
We have other key methods (far beyond pay-per-stream) for artists to earn more money, hence this is an issue where we are currently inviting debate/input from you - our members.
We think there is a lot of evidence that pay-per-stream has not been a positive experience for musicians and in many cases devalues their music and actually reduces their potential income.
Why not contact us via one of our facebook groups and join in this debate.
How do I protect my tracks from piracy?
The Go To Hear platform has in-built security which means that tracks can only be played on Go To Hear unless you sell them as a download.
• Members can only listen to a track or read your blog by visiting the Go To Hear platform.
Membrs/non-members who try to copy your content/music to use elsewhere will be stopped by our encrypted gateway protection code.
This means your music can only be shared by using our share creation technology - the links created by this mean anyone who clicks on a link to your content anywhere on the web will be brought back to you on Go To Hear. If they aren't already a member then when they sign up as a platform member they will be attributed to you as one of your affiliates – so it's you make the money not people attempting to illegally copy and use your music!
This technology is designed specifically to protect artists and other content creators to ensure that the people who create the content always get the reward for their work - not some pirate.
Where’s my music download for music I’ve bought?
PENDING – you can’t buy music just yet, but that functionality is coming soon.
