Channel Your Inner Simon: Get Paid to Rate New Musical Artist

Z. Bey
Do you love to rate the singers on American Idol? Do you feel you have the guts to be the next Simon, P. Diddy or Randy Jackson? A fun and interesting website based in Europe, is giving anyone the chance to review music, any genre of your choice, 24 hours a day and best of all, they pay you to do it.

Slicethepie lets up and coming artist submit their original music to the music industry via their website and let users review the contents for feedback. Once the artist or group receives a enormous amount of positive reviews, according to their rating scale, the music investors will take notice and offer contracts. It's a great website for someone who is looking to find a big break in the music industry as well as a writer, who can make a little extra income.

If you would like to get paid to review music, sign onto to the site, click on the link at the bottom that says slice of the pie and sign up. You fill out a very short questionnaire pertaining to your gender, age, occupation, and then you choose what type of music genre you would like to write reviews for. You can have the funds directly deposited into your bank account, PayPal or sent a check. The funds earned are in Euros, which means for every 10 cents you earn, which is the standard starting pay per 60 second review; you will earn approximately $.13 in US Dollars. That works out to be about $9.00 an hour you can earn 24 hours a day.

The more you review, the more you are paid. Payments are on a star scale and vary from one to five star levels. Once you hit the five stars rating for scouts, you will earn the top rate. There are more perks to the general public that assist these artists in obtaining a record. Believe it or not; you can invest your money in an artist and get a slice of their record sales with money as little as $1.00 Euro dollar.

To ensure that you will get a decent return on your investment, Slicethepie artists must pass a selection process, similar to American Idol, so the very best have a chance to obtain financing.

For example, if you invest £5 or more, you will receive:

  • A free digital copy of the album
  • Exclusive Artist access
  • Your name on the album sleeve
  • 1 Contract for every £1 invested that entitles you to a return of 10 pence for every 1,000 albums/10,000 singles sold
"Music Fans can then directly invest in the Artists in return for exclusive Artist access, a copy of the completed album, their name on the album sleeve and a decent share in the financial returns from album and single sales. Investors (non-US only) can trade in and out of their Artist Investments at any time on the world's first Music Trading Exchange, also hosted on the site. " - slicethepie.com
