Want to perform for your friends and family and make some extra money while you’re at it? A new service called Evinar allows artists, musicians, performers and speakers to host online concerts and events directly on Facebook.

Evinar allows users to create an event via the platform’s dashboard. After adding a headline and providing details about the event, start time and ticket prices you can send Facebook friends invites to the virtual show.

“Performers can provide live performances for fans directly on Facebook and even monetize their fan base by turning likes into tickets,” Mark Boswell of Evinar told Mashable.

“It’s great for fans too, as they can attend live concerts and shows from their favorite bands, musicians or comedians without leaving Facebook.”

The platform also allows users to chat with others in the room during the show.

“We have already hosted a few shows with over 300 people attending live,” Boswell said.

Not only is this an innovative concept to help up-and-coming artists spread the word and grow their brand, it could also be used among mainstream recording artists, as well. Can you see a major recording artist offering a private, exclusive concert to the first 1,000 fans to purchase tickets on Facebook? –Mashable
