Strange, i withdrew a £5 on the 1st dec and it was in on the 3rd, withdrew again on the 9th and it was in on the 10th. Wonder if its had anything to do with the amount you were withdrawing?

i wondered if it was due to the amount as well - it would certainly make sense as the other amounts i've withdrawn were between £20-£40 quid. £65 is the most i've ever requested.

i'm having a good day so far - started off on 92.34% accuracy and 16 songs later i'm on 95.4%

you have to go to your watchlist and when you look at the artists in that list, you'll have a 'tip' button beside them which you click.

as to who to pick - your own personal preference. pick an artist who you think has the best chance of having commercial success.

and in anticipation of your next question

in the music player, when you click "submit", in the top right hand corner of the window there's a plus sign - click that to add a song to your watchlist.

Im going to be a total noob. Ive invested some "V" money into someone. 2 tracks or something but how does it work? Do I earn money if people buy their songs?

You do, but i've never really gone in to that side of it so i couldn't say for sure how much it is.

i know if you bought backstage passes in the artist you'd get a free copy of their album when it was ready (digital download) and then you'd receive a percentage of the profits from the album as well - i can't imagine it would be a massive amount though, more proportionate to the amount you invest.

a £1 contract earns you 10p per 1000 downloads. so 11000 sales and you are up. Buying 5 x £1 contracts gets you a digital copy of the album, and your name on the credits (i think)

Does it make any difference to the ammount received if you request small ammounts ie £5 a go, or wait until you have bigger ammounds? Just I'm unsure if paypal is a flat percentage or a percentage and a base fee.
