Introducing Wusk V2! - Crowdfund & Connect with Your Favorite Creators.

Music, photos, videos and spoken word are a huge part of our everyday lives. They can help us learn something, bring us joy and even take us back to a special moment in time. These days anyone can create content on their smartphone or computer, put it on the internet and touch tens, hundreds, thousands or millions of people around the world. But creators don't have many tools to help them earn money from their creations.

With that said, we’re happy to release version two of Wusk to the world. We know that digital content is a big part of our daily routine, and we’re dedicated to helping content creators earn money through crowdfunding and connect with their biggest fans!

Crowdfund Your Content

With Wusk, a creator can create a dedicated crowdfunding page for their SoundCloud and/or YouTube content and accept tips from their fans. Crowdfunding can be a huge help to digital creators because it gives them the freedom to create more content. Wusk is setup to give fans the power to support the content creators they love.

Identify Your Fans

By supporting creators, fans can earn 'fan badges'. These badges give fans social recognition for supporting creators and allows a creator to identify their biggest fans.

Connect with Your Community

A big part of being a creator is engaging with the people who love your work. We’ve developed a new messaging service that allows creators to interact directly with the people who support them the most. This is a great tool for creators to share news, exclusive content and build relationships with their fans. Think of it as a fan club built around the people who care and support you the most.

Our mission is to help creators make more content and connect with the people that love their work. We believe that with Wusk, we’re moving in the right direction. Join Wusk today and see what we’re working on!

Wusk Version 2 is Coming!

Over the past months we’ve been moving Wusk forward towards version 2. This new version of Wusk will become not only a crowdfunding service for creators but also a tool for fans and creators to build a relationship. Though we’re not officially launching version 2 today we want to give you a sneak peek of what Wusk is becoming.

Wusk For Creators

Content creators are the backbone of the Wusk service. We want Wusk to be a tool for creators to get support from their fans. So we’re streamlining the way a creator gets started on Wusk, creates their contribution pages and shares their content with fans. We’re also working on some great social media training resources that will be out later this year.

Wusk Messaging

We know that contributing to a creator is only half of the experience, fans want to be able to talk to their favorite creators too. That is why we’re focusing on creating a great messaging experience that allows creators to talk with the fans that support them. This is going to be a great tool for creators to share news, exclusive content and build relationships with fans. Think of it as a fan club built around the people who care and support you the most.

Wusk Fan Badges

Wouldn’t it be great if fans had some awesome badges to show their fandom? Well, we’re also working on a great badge program that allows fans to earn badges based on the support they provide to their favorite content creators. Support creators and rock these badges around the internet to show you’re a FAN!

  We’ve been working hard to create the 2nd version of Wusk and we can’t wait to share it with you. Our goal is to help creators get support to continue making great content and to create a better fan experience. With version 2 of Wusk we’re getting closer to making that goal a reality. Look for Version 2 to launch in September!
