Bango Launches "Get It On My Mobile" Button

bangobuttonBango (AIM: BGO) has launched a new service dubbed Get On My Mobile which lets people sell mobile content from their website. “Bango Buttons” can be created by visiting http://www.bango.com/button and choosing between some design and size options, and getting a piece of code to put on your website…if it’s an image Bango automatically resizes it for the different handsets. There’s also a place to manage the account. Of course, Bango lets you charge for the content if you wish — what percentage you actually get depends on how the buyer pays for it, and there’s a very interesting page here with the different rates.

From the buyers point of view they see a button on a page, and when they click on it they’re taken to a page similar to the one on the right. This band’s MySpace Page has an example, although when I tried I was told that Bango doesn’t support Opera Mini. On my N95 browser the only payment option was credit card, and the minimum payment was $2.50, any remainder is kept on the site as a credit. Other than that it was pretty seamless. This is the easiest way I’ve seen for individual people to sell mobile content — it’s simple to do, it goes straight from their web site and they can charge for it if they wish. It’s another string in the bow of small content producers.
