How is it Different?
The main trouble with the conventional model of selling music on sites is the independent musicians don't get paid enough per download to make a significant income. The reason is that the services have to absorb a large number costs incurred in running a system which is over complicated (we know we used work in this way before we launched this new service).
As an example: 1/ A customer pays the service for downloads 2/ The service delivers the track 3/ The service then pays sales tax on the full retail price 4/ Calculates the musicians percentage 5/ Sends the musician the payment.
With intomusic.co.uk it works in two simple steps 1/ The customer simply pays and the payment goes direct through to the musicians paypal account 2/ immediately after payment the customer is directed to a page hosted by us, where the customer can download tracks. This is all happens seamlessly in real time.
Also conventional services wait for your sales to reach a certain figure, before you get paid. Also with these services you can wait months to get new tracks to appear on a website.
We believe the old system is full of red tape and reduces the amount they can pay you, because the companies are paying extra costs they then pass on to you by taking a larger % of the sale.
The successful sellers on this site will double or even triple the revenue on each sale, because they are receiving the payment direct to their paypal accounts.
In reality most music artist's build up a small following and drive the sales themselves, therefore it's vital they receive as much as possible from each sale.
Also you could offer a different maybe older releases at discounted prices to your customers. As your getting 100% on the sales you can still make money and get customers buying more of your music.
How Does It Work?
Simplify the process by hosting and delivering your music securely and instantly to your customer. The actual payment goes straight to your paypal account, we request you fill in these details in your account.
We charge a small monthly fee for our service which will be easily recoverable after only a small number of downloads of your music.
Why Is It Better Than iTunes For You And Your Customers?
There are many services which can get your music on Itunes and others. Despite the hype the reality is once your there with 100,000's of other artist's who's going to know, the phrase 'like trying to find a needle in a haystack' comes to mind.
It actually makes me annoyed that bands and musicians are doing all the promotion and sending paying customers to these sites and getting so little in return. If your sending the customers you should make all the money.
Also they have their own DRM system which means music cannot be played on other portable players other than ipod, so your immediatley alienating a large number customers who can't use the service with their particular mp3 phone, pda or mp3 player. With intomusic.co.uk all
the music is in Mp3 Format which can be played on anything. You can also sell higher bit rate Mp3's of up to 312kbps.
Do We Promote?
We have a total level playing field in promotion. Immediately your music goes live you will featured on the front page, listed under 'Latest Music Downloads'. The most recent to join are shown first and you will Receive 1000's of plays with a signicant number of people hearing your music. Now just this alone has to be worth more than £5 a month.
What Do I Need?
> Your music in MP3 format. Pictures of album or EP covers or band pictures in jpg format.
> A paypal account.
Why Do I Need This?
If your going to sell your music you need a service to take care of the digital delivery of the songs. You need the technology which will store your music securely and deliver it instantly to customers via temporary links, never revealing the true location of the files, this is done via our dedicated server with fast download speeds and the required technology. Customers will expect to access the music instantly with quick downloads after payment. Also they want to be able to download files again, we instantly send them a password so they can login and download the files only 3 times. Using the ‘content management system’ enables musicians with no technical web knowledge to upload and edit a range of titles e.g albums and ep’s and change the prices instantly. These are then available and can be selected by customers and added to the shopping cart. The stats for downloads and plays are shown for each week. We handle all technical queries from customers relating to downloads and delivery of your music.
This technology is beyond what is offered by standard web hosting packages. It would require an expensive server and lengthy development costs from experienced developers with a unique understanding in this area. In all this would prove far too expensive, whereas our system is low risk, quick, easy and affordable.
Also the customer can play 60 second previews of your music. In addition as new artist your be under the 'Latest Music Downloads' on the front page of the site, giving you exposure to 1,000's of people a day. If you view other artist's pages you can see that their music gets played.
Security checks are also made that : the amount paid is correct, the customer only receives tracks they paid for and that the payment receiving email is correct. If you were selling a CD you could check all these things before sending the customer the CD, but with downloads you can't, so you need a system which does this for you.
Is there a contract, what if I want to cancel?
There is no fixed term contract you can easily cancel your account at any time. Provided you cancel before the next monthly payment, you will not be charged any further.
We have a non-exclusive arrangement to deliver your music. This means you are free to sell your music anywhere else you wish or sign recording contracts.
Can I Sell Albums?
You can upload tracks under an Album or EP title's to be displayed as such. However pricing is per single track and customers can choose tracks and will be charged per track.
Is my Paypal account safe?
Yes totally safe, because we never request any sensitive information that would allow us to access your paypal account. The service runs without needing any of this information.
As an example: 1/ A customer pays the service for downloads 2/ The service delivers the track 3/ The service then pays sales tax on the full retail price 4/ Calculates the musicians percentage 5/ Sends the musician the payment.
With intomusic.co.uk it works in two simple steps 1/ The customer simply pays and the payment goes direct through to the musicians paypal account 2/ immediately after payment the customer is directed to a page hosted by us, where the customer can download tracks.
