Sell Your Music Online – An Overview
What you find when you Google “Sell Your Music Online”
I plan for this to be a series of articles reviewing the various methods and services out there for musicians to sell their music online.
Currently what do you find when you Google “Sell Your Music Online”?
Well, hopefully, eventually, this website! But in the meantime:
1. Companies selling you a service
2. Sites with out of date info
3. Sites with not very in depth articles.
It’s pretty much the same when you Google “Sell Your Music” or simply “Sell Music”
I thought perhaps a more up to date, more in depth review of this important topic of how to sell ones music online might be in order.
It’s probably pretty obvious what musicians are looking for when they Google “sell your music online”. But lets review.
(Please excuse the obviousness of some of this, but I need to break it down in order to focus each future article on each aspect of selling ones music.)

Each upcoming article will focus on a different aspect of the above topics.
I will only be looking at companies that have been around awhile.
I will try to evaluate their services but hopefully I’ll get feedback from those of you who have used their services.
As I’ve said in a previous post , I prefer as FEW MIDDLE MEN AS POSSIBLE between the product and the consumer!
