Passion surely makes us feel alive and adds some purpose to our short lives we live. Committing to a purpose or a passion set by others, usually leads to regret and despair. Personally evolved passion via hobbies and pastimes is the purpose worth chasing. Collective energy of music, arts and media is our passion, and our purpose is to help you to make a living out of yours.
How fans finally get to interact with their favourite artists
We wanted a place where we could share our art with our peers and our fans. We even dreamed of a place where we could actually earn a decent living from our art, a regular income from our 'content'. A place where we could promote, sell and market our own art ourselves and be rewarded, or, maybe even let others market it for us. Through intelligent, mutually beneficial partnerships and through our support networks, both businesses, fans and peers, we wanted a place to unite and, where they get rewarded too!
The day we realized that such a place didn't exist, is the day Pindify was born. We built what we, as artists, wanted. A place to share, and earn from, our art.
But how would this new 'place' be funded? What would it look like? How could it be described?
A marketplace for creatives and the networks that support them. That includes their influencers (such as bloggers, journalists, media outlets (large and small), and their labels, publishers, managers, etc. And of course, their fans and supporters. The 'consumers' of their art. The 'subscribers'.
At Pindify, we realised we needed to connect artists with their networks through an online social network to organize their art, and also, earn from it. This social network platform had to be trustworthy and have our members' best interests in mind. Again, before Pindify, such a place did not exist. It exists now.
Pindify is a trustworthy platform built exclusively for artists to connect and earn directly with the Arts & Media world.
Pindify’s market-platform liberates providers of arts & media to publish, distribute and monetize directly on subscription from existing or new supporters. Providers such as creators, contributors, curators, managers, agents, labels, media houses and publishers can finally have one place where they can gather both social and professional digital content.
Providers can join together or separately earn from both portfolio-revenue and content revenue. All arts & media can then be discovered, organized and consumed by subscribers on the market, home or on portfolios via our web service and mobile applications.
Pindify aims to create a symbiosis for merchants, businesses and enterprises of arts & media to coexist with consumers and free users as any commercial centers. Pindify’s market allows you to be social, promotional and professional.
Pindify charge you for membership instead of ”rent” and instead of ”cash” Pindify built a unique, secure and efficient subscription distribution system to handle consumption, followers and invites.
Our direct-to-consumer market service will empower relationships, provide revenue and nurture the very premise of what the arts & media are. Blockchain will secure identity, authority, trusted payments, ownership and user rights. Pindify is not just another evolutionary social network, but a revolutionary marketplace for all providers of the arts & media. Pindify’s goal is to ensure all of our Providers earn a good and decent monthly revenue from their Subscribers.
The Pindify product is an innovative Market Network System, combining the best of marketplaces, social networks and portfolios to address the needs of tomorrow’s Providers and Subscribers of arts & media. Benefits include delegation of direct subscriptions, facilitating shared ownership of rights and protections, curating content and payments made and secured.Pindify acquires 9% of all subscription and 40% of total membership fee as revenue.
The blockchain technology gives many possibilities for the registration and distribution of intellectual property, including transactions without intermediaries. The power of attorney combined with the decentralized distribution of digital content, creates a new paradigm shift in the era of digital management culture. The blockchain technology and smart contracts can ensure user verification, registration and certification of copyrights and intellectual property. Payments,and transactions are secured by offering a transparent and innovative online marketplace.
Providers such as creators (musicians/writers/creatives), influencers (radio/magazines) and businesses (labels/publishers) within the arts & media sector, can access and pursue opportunities through Pindify that are outside traditional promotional and distribution channels, available elsewhere today. Pindify incentivises Ambassadors to invite their network of clients, by giving them a portion of the membership fee to invite clients (Providers) and a small percentage from their invited clients’ customers (Subscribers).
Consumers today have far greater varieties of content to choose from,
available 24/7,
delivered through increasingly more services and devices. Instead of using many different
applications and devices, Pindify offers all categories in one ‘full-stack’ environment. More
importantly, Providers are incentivised to earn revenue by inviting their existing fans to become
Subscribers, with engaging relationships, personalized communities and exclusive material or events.
This will allow Pindify’s marketplace to grow organically from within, in addition to external
influences and referrals.
Pindify is fully functional and able to support and host the marketplace.
The road map below is an indication of ongoing development,
as we add additional functions, features and tools.

No. All money collected is put to work immediately. Pindify has already surpassed the proof of concept phase and is in the scaling up, rapid growth phase now. Having milestones or restrictions on a project in this period of growth is counterproductive to the project.

Any unsold tokens at the end of the ICO will be destroyed.
Pindify has no plans to issue more tokens or conduct a 2nd round ICO.
Pindify will aim to list the tokens on at least one major exchange platform ASAP after the ICO ends.
