Authored by Mark Hefflinger on February 9, 2009 - 9:09am.
London - People's Music Store, a service that lets music fans create and operate their own digital music stores, has secured an undisclosed sum of seed funding from entrepreneur Paul Higgins.

The company also announced a partnership with U.K. independent label Beggars Group.

Started by Ged Day, founder of Warp Records partner commerce site Bleep.com, counts more than 650 consumer-created online music stores after being available for several months in alpha testing.

Music fans can design their storefronts, choose tracks from a library of over 250,000 songs, write their own reviews, and market their stores online.

Storekeepers pay nothing to join and earn 10% of every product they sell as "reward points" that they may then spend on music.
