4 Ways to Ensure That Your Music is Discovered and Sold Online

If you want to sell your music, then you have to look beyond the traditional way in which music is produced, distributed and sold. Artists make way more from unconventional means, such as the internet, even more than ever.

Speaking of which, TuneCore, an online distribution service that was launched in 2005, was paid almost $32 million from a slew of digital download stores apart from iTunes itself.

So, here are 4 tips that will ensure your music is discovered and sold online:

#1: Make it search-friendly

Since millions of users use the popular Search function to find music, why not use that to your advantage by adding search-friendly keywords to your song, album or band name/titles. Also, think of adding genres as well as words that can associated with your music too.

#2: Design an awesome album cover

If you can’t design an eye-catchy album cover, then hire a designer to do just that. More than being just a pretty cover, they should be able to give your music that visual feel.

#3: Create an iMix in iTunes

An iMix is a list that you can make which has a number of songs, whether yours or someone else’s, covering the same genre. What would make this list even better if you give it an original but clever name as this will draw more attention from interested listeners.

#4: Cover popular songs

There’s no doubt that cover songs are very popular and will, most definitely, sell well. So, it’s a good idea to record your own cover version and release it for purchase. Not only will you make money but there are more chances of your being discovered.
