Many of my readers are musicians that have a passion for recording their own music. They want to learn how to properly record and mix so they can put their songs to disk and process them in a professional manner.
But then they lack the neccessary music distribution skills required for further advancement of their career.
Every musician is online today. Everybody has a Myspace page promoting their music, offering free streaming tracks for anyone to listen to.
Many other types of websites have popped up since Myspace, offering the same deal with a different design. For streaming, I prefer Soundcloud, or Ubetoo.
They are nicer looking, their model is better and they sound better.
All these sites don't make you any money off your music. You are basically putting your songs online to be streamed, which is a good thing if you just want to be noticed. But if you want to recoup any of that studio cost, those endless hours of rehearsing, recording and mixing, then you might want to check out ways to sell your music online.
Tunecore is a music distribution website dedicated to helping every musician sell their singles, songs or albums online. They distribute music for some of the largest artist in the music industry.
Names like Nine Inch Nails, Moby, Keith Richards and Jay-Z are using their services to sell their tracks.
That's one hell of an artistic
endorsement. For me, if Nine Inch Nails is supporting something I take
it as an automatic seal
of approval. They have all sorts of offers
going on for your music distribution. Signing Up for a TuneCore account is free
and you can save 30% on the first distribution.
And
before you ask. Yes I'm endorsing this service. Why? Because I think it
is awesome, and works for the independent musician needing music
distribution.
All these big artists aren't using the services of Tunecore without a reason. Tunecore delivers your album or songs straight to iTunes and all the biggest digital stores on the web.
Online distribution has never been this easy for an artist. Not only do you get your music online fast an easy but you get an easy way to track every sale and every move of your songs.
This coupled with the biggest digital stores on the web create a great opportunity for an artist to sell his songs and make a little money back from his hard work.
That's right. You can keep all of the royalties to yourself. What you make off your music, is what you make off your music. It's as simple as that.
Mass distribution, artistic support and 100% royalty. It doesn't get any better than this. If I was publishing the album I released 5 years ago I would be using Tunecore to add extra momentum to it. It might have made me a little money back from my investment. Maybe you guys will do better. Sign Up for a Free TuneCore Account here, or by clicking the banner below.
