How Sell Songs: The Top Music Services to Sell Your Music Worldwide  

Article by Brian Alan Burhoe

“How can I sell my music?”

So you have music to sell. Songs to sell. You’ve already put some on YouTube. You’re getting feedback. But you keep asking “How can I sell music online?”

As the Los Angeles Times recently reported in an article titled SUCCESS OFF THE CHART: NEW WAYS TO SELL MUSIC, “Album sales continue to drop – Nielsen’s data-collecting service SoundScan just reported they’re down in the U.S. by 12.8 percent – and hit singles grow scarcer, with 86 scanning 1 million or more in 2010. These realities have had painful economic consequences. But they don’t mean musicians aren’t making great stuff, or that listeners aren’t absorbing it.”

But they also had good news: “Great music is becoming available in ways that force us to reconsider what we’re hearing and how we listen. For half a century, musicians and fans have congregated along two poles: the album and the single. There’s been plenty of spirited debate about the relevance of each form, as sales for conventionally distributed music continue to shrink and music lovers perfect new practices, building playlists and ripping music from cyberspace.”

There are a number of sources for selling your music. Thousands of struggling performers are putting their songs on Myspace. Why not? — myspace music has a strong following. So does you tube — you tube music (or Youtube Music) also allows fans to listen to, download, play and stream music. And Yahoo music. Google has its music apps. Nimbit (“The power of direct to fan”). ReverbNation. Songs PK. Tunecore. The Orchard. Spotify. eMusic. Rhapsody. C D Baby (Independent music). Songcast. Tunecore. Musicadium (“The power of distribution: your music, your way”). AmazonMP3. Magpie music.

iTunes sell music. Apple iTunes apps are drawing in huge numbers. You can link to songs, albums, artists, TV shows, movies, music videos, audiobooks, public radio programs, podcasts, iPhone and iPod touch applications, and more. For new artists, they have different combinations of setup fees, flat fees, and commission fees.Then what’s the problem? As would-be rocker Jeanie George said, “The fans still want it for free! I can’t even make enough to get on the road.”

That’s the problem.

So what’s the answer?

At around per song, per album, these services do represent an acceptable way to get your music distributed to avid music lovers.

However, as an independent artist, getting your music digitally distributed on the big services may seem like an impossible task…If you’ve been saying, “I just can’t make any money at it. I can’t sell my music!” then you need to know the platforms that are working.
