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.
