Nimbit launches facebook MyStore App – now sell direct to fans on facebook
We love Nimbit.
It’s been around a while offering all sorts of amazing ‘direct-to-fan’ marketing tools (email list capture, analytics, social media tools etc) and ‘direct-to-fan’ selling tools (widgets that allow you to sell all types of stuff from all sorts of places). In fact, we’ve been recommending it to our clients for a very long time and many have chosen to use it for it’s ‘all-in-one’ ease of use.
And now, they’ve moved the game on and managed to bring their functionality to facebook.
It’s important to realise what a powerful tool Nimbit is before you can really see what their new extra tools for facebook can mean for you as a do-it-yourself artist.
Nimbit allows you to manage your direct-to-fan activity pretty much all from within Nimbit’s site. Meaning, for the most part, that you can deal with all your Social Networking pages and your own blog all from one place.
And what can you do with it?
You can:
- build your fan mailing list, find out more information about your fans, mail them in loads of cool ways
- sell pretty much anything direct to fans – digital tracks, merchandise, CD’s, tickets
- sell that stuff from loads of different places where you can drop their widget – MySpace, your blog etc
- control your Social Network presence from one place and build your ‘music brand’
But that’s not all – they’ll also get your digital tracks for sale on all the major sites, such as iTunes and Amazon.
So, why is this update to what Nimbit can do on facebook a big deal? – because it has all their functionality in one easy to switch on App! It’s so simple – literally switch it on and you are selling to your fans on facebook.
What does it cost?
Well, maybe nothing!
In order to have the MyStore application running on your facebook page, you have to have a Nimbit account – but it can be the basic free Nimbit account. There are limitations on what you can use it to do, but you get most of the facebook App functionality for free.
In truth, if you get it, you’ll probably end up falling in love with how easy Nimbit can make your music marketing and to get all the functions you’ll have to upgrade to one of their two membership levels – either $9.95 or $19.95 per month.
But, it’s well worth it.

Nice…this has to be the way forward for many artists…
Interesting to see how quickly this gets adopted and whether it impacts the live business (at the bottom end at least) too – e-tickets aswell…
Cut out more middlemen or change the middleman you work with eh!

This store fits perfectly with the new DIY music community. All you need to make music is a mac book pro and garage band. Now the very same artist can sell his music from facebook using this new store. Down with the middlemen!
