Playscreen FAQs
* Can I really make money selling mobile content?
Yes! Millions of ringtones are downloaded every month. For example the Crazy Frog ringtone was downloaded 11 million times across Europe in 2005.
Playscreen makes it easy to create your own ringtone hits. It’s as simple as leaving a voice message for a friend. With Playscreen you earn as much or more money as a superstar for every ringtone, wallpaper, or video sold.
For example here is a breakdown of the revenue for a typical ringtone sold by a publisher, in this case Fifty Cent’s "Candy Shop":

(http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/12/25/business/ring26.php)
On a $2.50 ringtone Fifty Cent earns only 12% (29 cents).
On Playscreen you get to keep more money, even though we offer ringtones, wallpapers, and mobile videos for only $2.00 a piece:

You earn 20% for every ringtone, wallpaper, or mobile video sold!
* How much does it cost?
With the basic Playscreen membership, you can start creating and selling mobile content for free. Instead of just posting your cool pics or funny jokes on a website for nothing, you can turn your creativity into cash.
Playscreen offers additional features such as increased storage and text ads at a reasonable cost. If you sell lots of mobile content, you’ll get some of this stuff for free. It’s our way of saying thanks, just for being a superstar.
* How much time will it take to start selling my content?
Just sign up and start creating your content. You can use our built in tools and/or upload your audio, pictures, or videos. Your uploaded content will show up as pending while we check to make sure it’s ok. Our review team will work as quickly as possible to make sure your content is ready to sell, typically in less than a day.
* How can people know where to buy my cool stuff?
There are two ways people will find your products:
1. They can go directly to your Playscreen page and see what’s available.
For example: http://playscreen.com/user-name
You can email this link to anyone you think might be interested in what you have created.
2. They can send a text messge to 74415 with your user name.
Their phone will get sent a catalog of your content. This is the perfect way to get your fans to download your content at concerts and other public events.
Of course the best content and new content is always featured on the main Playscreen web page. Buying Playscreen content is as easy. We bill customer’s phones so they don’t even need a credit card to buy your cool creations.
* I live outside the U.S., can I still use Playscreen?
We’re adding new countries all the time. Let us know where we should go next. Email suggestions@playscreen.com .
