How Do I Sell My Music Online? 3 Great Ways to Make Cash From Your Music

How do I sell my music online? This is a commonly asked question and the good news is that it is very easy indeed. In this article, I'll tell you exactly how to sell your music at some of the most popular online music portals.

iTunes

Iphone Application

The first and most obvious place you need to check out first is iTunes. Many people own iPods or iPhones and are forced to use the iTunes software. In doing this, they are exposed to many different artists and bands. If you get a track on iTunes then you will have a captive audience that is not afraid to take its wallet out of its pocket.

If you provide music to iTunes, Apple call you a "content provider". I suggest you visit their site and sign up now because it can take weeks or months to get approved.

Syndication Services

There are also a number of syndication services out there. What they will do is to take your music and then syndicate it to all the big sites such as iTunes, Spotify, Amazon on Demand and others.

They save the headache of making individual Applications because they are a trusted partner of these sites. For example, you will get your music on iTunes within just 24 hours with TuneCore, one of the more well known services.

Individual Sites

Of course, you can go to each site yourself and upload your music individually. I don't recommend this though because it is going to be a major headache to manage all the accounts and the minimum payout options mean that it could be a while before you see any money.

If you're going to do this, I recommend sticking with the big outfits such as iTunes, Amazon MP3, MySpace Music, emusic, thumbplay and Spotify.
