3- This Month Article: Sell Music Online!Hi everyone and welcome to our latest issue of SongMakerX-press.In this issue I'll try to give you a better view of how to monetize your music. Normally you should say,"I sell my Cd's and that's it, but nothing is less true. Off course,selling you CD( Gigs,mail outs...) is the mayor way to make some money out of your music, and the more Cd's you sell the better should I say ( and that's not only my opinion). This is far the best promotion to the mayor or independent record labels, is to selling lot's of your perfect recorded (band )CD through downloads or mail delivered. There are a few companies who are providing a CD promotion and selling opportunity; The best known are: Broadjam,CD Baby and soundclix. A few words to explain these three companies. One little note: I don't promote these services and companies, I only give you the information of what these companies are , so you have an idea of what they are and provide. I don't recommend any of them, I just pass-on info., neither am I an affiliate of one of these companies. I just thought it could be useful to you and you can compare these companies. Starting with Broadjam: Broadjam Inc. Is a US based company, and provides web-based promotional tools and services for independent musicians, the music industry and fans around the world. It's also a web community focused on independent music, with a massive on-line database of searchable songs by artists from all 50 U.S. states and over 150 countries worldwide. The Broadjam Pro Services group designs and builds custom technology for music industry clients such as Warner/Chappell, Academy of Country Music, Peavey, Yamaha and others. Musicians can get a free account and promote their music on-line, sell their MP3's, gain fans, enter contests & more. You also can Sell your music downloads (Sell for $.99, Keep $.80!)

You will find well-known artists such as Janet Jackson, Sarah McLachlan, Moby, Gravediggaz, PM Dawn, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Letters To Cleo. But the driving force are hundreds of thousands of great unsigned bands looking for their big break.

CD Baby.com is an online music store specializing in the sale of physical compact discs from independent musicians directly to consumers. Additionally, the company has become a digital aggregator of independent music recordings, distributing content to several online digital music retailers. CD Baby is the d/b/a of Hit Media, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, owned by CD Baby founder Derek Sivers. According to the company's web site, CD Baby was founded by Sivers in 1997, out of his home, and currently operates out of Portland, Oregon.. CD Baby allows artists to set their price point for selling physical compact discs – CD Baby retains $4 of every sale, the remainder gets paid out to the artist on a weekly basis. They also charge a one-time $35 setup fee per CD. Until now : * 208,453 artists sell their music at CD Baby * 3,803,202 CDs sold online to customers * $61,636,855 paid directly to the artists
There are probably more companies who are doing the same services as the above mentioned. I have only took what I thought were the top three of the CD selling companies for independent. So.. I thought services like this, could be interesting for the unsigned artists, and bands. I should say: Check them out! There are of course more ways to sell your Cd's online to the public, but this info, I'll share with you an other time. I will end this month article with saying : Keep on writing, you have nothing to loose! 4)Looking For Songs..Ta-tiana Ang from City: Klang, Selangor Country: MalaysiaE-mail Address: samantha_ang83@yahoo.com The style of music she's looking for:I like hip-pop, Jazz & R&B.
