Now, in this never ending search after what Sellaband actually IS (a record company? a community? a way to meet friends who like your music?) I think Bulletproof Messenger (BPM) have just made an interesting move. In sight of the 50k finish line they have asked existing believers to hold off further investments.... unless as parts given to other people to increase the fan base. While this may not be entirely without benefit to the band, I think this is a great way of paying back some of the 1st place visibility to SAB. Kennedy would have been proud.... (if he were in any way interested in music, that is. Oh well). Below a quoted message from BPM to their believers. (VB)Alright everyone, 1st off thanks for getting us this far... as we have said before, this is a strange strange request, but please.... hold your investments,... we are NOT saying we dont want to hit 50, but we want 1000 believers... we feel the point of SAB is to SPREAD the idea and concept to as many people as possible, and we hope that these last 10K will not be taken in huge chunks by small amounts of believers...
To say the least, from an investors standpoint and artists standpoint, you need fans to get your material to... imagine 200 more people at a show...with us being number 1 in line... we have the power to make this site better than it has been before... use us as an example and spread the word to get us 1000 believevers.... think about this an extra 200 fans (From 800-1000) could in the long run make it more profitable for everyone... imagine how many new people 200 new believers could reach... so please... as we said before... 1000 belivers BEFORE hitting 50K!!
thanks again for all your support!!!

Actually when I recieved that message then saw it in the forums I was amazed an impressed. SAB last couple artists were pushing 700 believers. It would be great if BPM can show 1000. Then we would need someone to push 1200 etc. on up to between 2500 and 5000.
