Who is Aralie.com?
Mission Statement
Aralie.com was created to support independent artists, by giving them a free market place to sell and promote their music. We are dedicated to helping small artists by doing anything we can to help them get exposure, gigs, sponsorship, and interviews. All music on Aralie.com will always be available DRM free, with no strings attached, and always downloadable for what ever price you choose (including $0).
We feel that using a pay-what-you-want model is the most practical way to circumvent music piracy. It gives artists much more control over the distribution of their music and it serves the people by allowing people to choose how much they would like to support an artist. This serves three very important roles for an artist:
1. It broadens the artists listenership by allowing existing and potential customers the choice to pay what they feel is fair and not be restricted to a set price.
2. It legitimizes obtaining music for free, by offering songs on the artists terms and giving them a greater level of control over their content.
3. Allows an artist to beat the old adage that "they're only in it for the money.."
We hope that this sales model will revolutionize the way music is distributed on the internet and effectively stop music piracy. In time we would like to extend this model into all types of digital media in hopes of doing the same.

those tracks to our embedded application and still offer them free but have the potential

FAQ
We are constantly looking for user feedback, if you have any questions always feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
1. Where do I enter my Paypal information?
You can create a Paypal account at your leisure, payouts are received via the email address you provided upon registration. We provide you with a secured URL to transfer the money into you account.
2. How often are payouts?
Payouts are done on a monthly basis.
3. Is there a dollar amount that must be reached before payout happens?
The minimum payout amount is $2.00, because of transfer fees any less then this amount would cause Aralie to loose money and we wouldn't be able to provide you with this fantastic service!
4. Can you give me the names of the charities that you work with?
We are constantly adding new charities, for the month of July these are the charities that will be receiving donations.
Port Carling Public Library
Ontario Minor Hockey Association
Canadian Hearth and Stroke Foundation
5.Can submit my tax information as having made a charitable donation?

We are working on a nice solution for this, but until then you can simply put the track number in front of the track name when you upload and it will arrange your tracks by number. Any other tracks you upload will be arranged alphabetically.

Login to your Aralie.com profile, click edit underneath the album you want to set the price on. Scroll to the bottom of the page you will see a spot that says track price, type in the amount you want per song. NOTE: This is the price per song, not for the album, we recommend $0.50 per track.

About the Company
Aralie.com was founded by Wyatt Ferguson early January 2008 in Guelph, Ontario. The name Aralie comes from the French word for a flower that grows in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. The company is built on two key components:
1. Our pay-what-you-want sales model
2. Embedded application framework
We believe building on existing networks is a much better business strategy then trying to compete with sites and services that are already very well refined. The first embedded application we are rolling out is our embedded sales app for artists, so they can easily add all their music from Aralie.com to any other social networks, or websites and have it all available for purchase right there. The idea for the pay-what-you-want model was really inspired by the success of Radiohead's album 'In Rainbows', showing that letting users pay what they want is a viable option for music.
Events/Sponsorship
We are always looking to be involved directly with artists. If you're hosting a concert, festival, release, etc.. feel free to contact us we are constantly looking for new groups and artists to get involved with. Also we currently are running a sponsorship program for artists, some of the opportunities available if you are selected for sponsorship are:
1. Free band banner for shows.
2. Your band has the option to play high profile events around the country.
3. Massive exposure through Aralie.com and its partners.
4. Interviews, Previews, and Reviews of shows, CD's, etc..
If you think you have what it takes send your press kit to marketing@aralie.com. The whole purpose of the site is to support independent artists, so regardless of what stage your band is at if there's anyway you think Aralie.com can help your band grow please contact us.
