Sell Your Music Today!

Band Camp (www.bandcamp.com)  is a great digital distribution website for the beginning artist. I will tell you the pros and cons of  joining this site first.... when a person types in the genre of music you perform, a group of exotic and not so exotic album art pops up. The album  arts are links you click on. The cool thing is that the order changes often so that your album art will show up in the top 10 eventually which will make it easier for the potential listener to spot you album art and be curious to hear your music (get creative with your photos) The other cool thing is that there are setting where you can pick your price of your music  you can sell the entire album collection or you can sell it per song. you can also offer free downloads to your artist 200 downloaded songs only any more than that will cost you. I understand this concept of charging the artist for giving out free music because free music is a way of marketing yourself as a artist. the only issue with this site I find that its a little tricky to upload you music. It doesn't take MP3 format you have to convert your MP3 into A WAV file then download the WAV version onto your computer then you can upload onto the site wording. You are bound to make a mistake if your are not savvy.  I  would contact the site owners  or feel free to contact me for some troubleshooting ideas also. Good Luck!
