If you’re trying to take your music journey to the next level, what are the most innovative and profitable ways to selling your music?
There are a mountain of online music stores and streaming services available, so selling your music online can never be ignored. Traversing the endless online music stores and streaming services seems like a complicated affair when choosing which way to go. You’ve put your heart and soul into your music so getting the most back sounds pretty good right?
No matter where you go, someone is take a slice out of your pie, it’s unavoidable. But what is avoidable, is how big the slice is…
The most profitable way to selling your own music is through a personally owned website. With your own website there is no cut, you keep it all. Not only can you sell your own music, but you can also sell your own merchandise. The process can be simple as you want it to be, but fair warning…consumers always judge a book by its cover.
With that slice of the internet that’s completely yours you can control the narrative around your music. You’ll never need to rely on social media algorithms and trends to get your songs heard. Experts agree that music fans actually prefer to buy directly from the artist, preventing streaming giants from taking a substantial cut from the price.
When you have your own website it not only gives you the power to sell your music directly, but also enables you to create a wider online community and presence around your work. You control the content, you control the information, you distribute to your fans.
Controlling the direction of your music, your audience, your slice, what could go wrong?
A lot can go wrong actually. So much can go wrong that it can really take the wind out of your sales….
Building a professional website is extremely difficult. Sure, you can do a WIX site for a buck or whatever it is, but at the end of the day – it looks like it cost a buck. When someone lands on a great looking website they say to themselves, this looks professional…these people are serious. With everything in your life on top of making music, building a website that looks great with your own two hands is heading for a heartbreak.
If you’ve never built a website before, the mountain of frustration, loss of precious time, and being trapped in a ticket hell with developers can really can take a toll. Once that’s over with, it’s out of the frying pan and into the fire because when you’re ready to sell your own music, it feels like drinking a tall glass of hot water.
How do you even reach the audience? If there wasn’t enough hours in the day already, there isn’t going to be any free time now. Selling merchandise and not slicing out anything out is great, but again…the time you’ll spend fumbling the bag will wear you down…staying creative has its limits. If you’re late getting orders out, you’re going to have problems…big problems Who’s even making your merchandise and how much are you losing before it even hits the street anyway?
