selling your music

[eyeswithoutaface]

it's a bit of a minefield this. I wouldnt someone a monthly fee to sell my music basically. Unless i was totally 100% sure that the sales they would help me get would cover that fee. What happens if you put some tracks up and no one buys them, and maybe not because they arent good tracks, but maybe because of other factors they cant control, like poor promotion on part of the website, an unworking website that throws up problems etc etc. Especially not when it's not that difficult to sort out distribution from the bigger mp3 lots such as Beatport, Trackitdown etc etc who will ultimately give your music a much, much wider audience compared to a, and no offence of course but business wise, a service that operates on a much, much smaller budget and doesnt have a reputation to help it along the way.

personal level, great idea, of course, always good to push and help others push good music. Business wise, alot easier for even relative newcomers to sort out much more comprehensible, workable and beneficial alternatives. For people who've had good success with their records too so far, it's even easier, hook up with the right labels and the label's will take care of all that anyway

I wouldnt be selling your music for you, I would be providing you with your own website which has the ability for users to listen to and buy your music directly. All sales would go straight into your paypal account (no cut taken).
the promotional aspect would be down to the owner of the site.

So the site owner would have the freedom to sell their tracks for as little or as much as they like and be able to create an indivdual brand for themselves while telling the user about themselves, news etc rather than just another name in a pile of thousands of others on sites like trackitdown.

You could of course use places like trackitdown to get your material distributed and use this as a kind of hq where people can get more info on you with the bonus of making more per sale.
