Selling by the Song
If you have One Song you can sell it as a digital download. If you have 100 or 1,000 songs you can sell them as digital downloads without a third party approval. Some analysts state that it may be too soon to forecast the demise of the CD, noting that by 2006 a clearer trend will be known. But single song downloads indicate that the consumer dislikes having to buy a whole CD just to get the one or two songs that they really like. Now you can do just like the big labels/artists, let the consumer decide which song or songs to buy. All you have to do is send one copy of any song that you want to sell.
The Money
You set the sales price. We recommend eighty-eight cents ($0.88) or less to start with. The minimum sales price that we allow for a single song is fifty ($.50) cents, the minimum for a complete CD digital download is $5.00 (five dollars) When one of your songs/tracks are purchased from the digital music platform we pay you sixty(65%) five percent of the sales price. Your royalty on $.50 (fifty cents) is $.32 (thirty two cents) Your royalty on five ($5.00) dollars is three dollars ($3.25 and twenty-five cents). If your selling price is higher, your royalty will be higher. To make it cost effective for you we pay you electronically or by check when your account has accrued twenty-five dollars ($25.00) that are cleared or verified at the end of each month. If your CD's and artist page are already on musicdistributors.com send no money and tell us which fifteen songs/tracks you would like digitized.
