Are you looking for ways to get for your music exposed to a large number of dedicated jazz fans? Do you want to take full advantage of the digital music craze and sell more music digitally? jazzreview.com has the answer for you! In March, jazzreview.com is launching a new digital music store that will allow you to expose and sell your music to jazz fans all around the world. See the information below for all the details on how to get started selling more music!
WHY SELL YOUR MUSIC DIGITALLY THROUGH JAZZREVIEW.COM
jazzreview.com is well established and has been highly promoted since 1997 to jazz fans of all styles. We have a captive audience of dedicated jazz fans from around the globe. Through jazzreview.com, you can reach over 75,000+ potential customers each month. We will actively promote your music through our online digital music store, giving you much more exposure to dedicated jazz fans than you can receive through other non-jazz related digital stores.
jazzreview.com offers a non-exclusive agreement that allows jazz artists and labels to legally and securely sell their music digitally in MP3 format to jazz fans through our new digital music store.
Artists and labels can sell their music on jazzreview.com for an annual fee of $35.00 per CD, which includes: initial setup, creating 30-second sample clips, 192 kbps CD-quality encoding, and enabling the track to be purchased and downloaded via MP3 format. Also included are: a dedicated web page which features detailed information on your CD, and inclusion in the jazzreview.com digital music store, as well as exposure on our front page. You can also link directly to this dedicated page from your website in order to further promote sales.
jazzreview.com offers artists or labels a 50-50 split, gross. So for every $0.98-cent track purchased, the artist or label receives $0.49 cents or each full album sold for $9.88, the artist receives $4.94. jazzreview.com pays all payment processing and server hosting fees out of our 50% of the sale.
Artists or labels are paid on a quarterly basis and are able to track their sales online at anytime through our member's area. A series of detailed reports makes it easy to monitor and track the sales of your CDs.
We also promote our music store's newly featured artists directly through our monthly subscriber newsletter, which goes directly to over 30,000 jazz fans.
The jazzreview.com digital music store provides an easy to navigate, fully searchable music database with a user-friendly design; thus allowing potential customers and easy way to find and purchase music that fits their musical tastes.
