What Website is best to sell music directly from myself?
Question by Fish: What Website is best to sell music directly from myself?
Most sites have a lot of catches and I am becoming really annoyed with reading all the fine prints for every website… What I want to do is sell the beats that I create using various music software programs that I own. I am not copywriting them, I am just selling them. What is the best website to do this on. I am going to sell them on myspace, and a personal website…

Most bands (since they aren’t signed to record labels) sell their MP3s/CDs/shirts/stickers/etc. without the help of corporations. You can do this quite easily… there are sites that allow you to build your own store, sell directly to fans, and keep more of your profits.
One example is: www.myfavoriteband.com.
You can upload and sell MP3s along with CDs, shirts, and any other merch that you already have. It’s free to set up your store, you can post an unlimited number of items, and the site doesn’t profit from your sales. The only money taken out of your sales is to cover PayPal’s minimal fees (about 2.9% + 30 cents) for the sale. This method is better than iTunes and other large distribution companies, because they take a huge chunk of your profits.
