Listening is worth something.
ListenLong plays your songs to real fans. Artists listen to each other, earn plays for their own music and get heard, free. And our Street Team earns half of every Pro payment from the artists they bring in.
Three and a half minutes. How the whole thing works.
Three ways in, and every one of them feeds the others.
Play for listens.
Every second you spend listening to somebody else's music is a second your music gets heard by somebody else. Second for second.
You give attention and you get attention back, so the more you listen, the further your songs travel.
Pay for listens.
In a hurry? Put your song in front of real people whose taste actually fits it. Our recommendation engine sends your country song to country fans and your hip hop track to hip hop fans, so every listen lands with somebody who might become a fan.
Next: the listeners get paid.
Coming next: when an advertiser pays for listens, a share of that money goes to the people who actually listened. Vote below if you want it first.
No play counts. No follower counts. Just the song.
Every other music app shows you how popular an artist is before you press play, so the big names get bigger and everybody new gets skipped. On ListenLong nobody sees those numbers. You hear the song and decide if you like it, and a brand new artist gets exactly the same fair shot as anyone else. Artists still see their own numbers, privately.
Every ad is a song.
No talking ads, no interruptions. When a pizza shop, a gym or a law office advertises on ListenLong, our AI writes and sings them their own jingle in the style of whatever you're already listening to. It sounds like part of the playlist, and the business keeps a jingle it can use on the radio, on social and on hold.
Music has always spread person to person.
The Street Team is how ListenLong grows. It's free to join and free to promote. Share your link with artists, bands and producers. They join free, and when one of them goes Pro ($18 a month), half of every monthly payment is yours for as long as they stay Pro.
Nobody pays to join, and nobody is paid for signing people up. The Street Team is paid only when real artists pay for Pro.

ListenLong is open to artists now; paying listeners and advertisers are next, and your vote decides what we build first. Nothing here promises any earnings: what the Street Team receives depends entirely on what artists actually buy. We'll only use your email to tell you about ListenLong.
