How to Sell Your Music on Music Sites
Selling the music of a single artist or a band can be done easily on Internet music sites. It can be done in as little time as one would take mowing a lawn or going to the grocery store to pick up a few items. A computer with a fast Internet connection is all that is needed to start selling your music.
- Use WAV files of the music to be sold. If the album is already available, then chose from several computer programs that can convert the tracks to WAV format. Computers less than five years old already have the software installed to do this.
- Decide how many songs will be sold on an album. Putting the entire album out all at the same time is cost effective. Choosing a favorite song to get the album started off offers the opportunity for chance for all the songs to be heard and to set the right mood for the music to be heard by a larger group of prospective fans
- Pick an online company that can help in launching the your music career. Many of them work with unknown artists all the time, to draw attention to an artist just starting out, so choose one that excels in your specific genre.
- Create an account. The online company's web site will provide guidance on how to do this. With an account emails can be sent to keep track of your account status with things like views, downloads, purchases and more.
- Upload the music for sale by browsing for the file and clicking the upload button, this takes time and will have to be done for each song
- Provide a graphic for the album cover; it can be JPG, GIF or PNG format with a 1600x1600 resolution of at least 72 DPI.
