Timbaland & 50 Cent Want To Monetize Hang W/ For Creators

Hang w/, a social media app that works in the competition-free world of video hosting, has just announced plans to allow advertising on the mobile app which in turn will create profit-sharing income for creators. The app, whose early investors include musicians 50 Cent and Timbaland, plans on unveiling the revenue-sharing system on Nov. 3 of this year, with creators earning 25 percent of the income their broadcasts earn.

“I believe the real money is going to be earned not just by the household names, but by these kids who are living the life of an artist, and sharing it live,” said Timothy ‘Timbaland’ Mosley, Grammy Award-winning producer of Jay Z, Justin Timberlake and others. “Hang w/ is the future. I watch the kids broadcasting on this app and I can see who’s next.”

Hang w/ works by allowing fans to interact directly with creators via live video releases so they know it isn’t just some publicist pretending to be the star while sending out tweets or posting on Facebook. According to the site’s press release, spending for the Mobile Advertising Market hit $18 Billion in 2014 and is predicted to reach $42 Billion by 2017. Alright then.

Timbaland "Hangs W/" Fans

Just a quick post, I know some of you have been wanting to see some of the footage from some of the sessions that Timbaland has been having with his fans, well thanks to Hang W/ on Youtube here is a recap of those sessions below. As well as some backstage footage from last year at the Jay-Z concert. ENJOY!

Justin Timberlake - "Take Back The Night" (Snippet)

Well Justin is certainly moving fast with his 20/20 Experience thang, but then again it was January when we got "Suit & Tie" now it's July and we're already anticipating a part 2 the experience at hand... Are we just greedy for music, or just super excited? You decide... Anyways however tonight we see a sneak peak clip of a joint from the next album entitled "Take Back The Night".  No hints on when either the album or single drops though, guess we'll just continue to play the sit and wait game... (huh-no).



On a much brighter note now and something a little more immediate, remember how Timbaland invested into Hang w/? Well for all you Android users, here is the downloadable app version for all Android markets via Google Play, download here.

Timbaland on Hang w/

Well the reason there hasn't been much Timbaland music out lately is because Tim is currently pursuing  lots of business ventures, such as The UnC Team, 50 Cent's SMS Audio, Le Sutra, his plate is pretty full now, lots to eat!!
His current "meal-deal" is his latest investment into the new Hang w/ App for iPhone, and set to soon come out for the Android platform (which is good for me since I have an Android).
Basically this app does what the title says, you hang out with whomever you connect to on the app, for example if you wanted to hang with Timbaland, it would be something like this except on your phone:



So if you want to "hang with" Timbo, go grab your copy of the app NOW!
