Get your sh*t on iTunes! (paying)

[loogiesquared]

Step 1
Complete at least TEN (10) Uncompressed songs as a .wav file.

Step 2
Head over to TuneCore.com and sign up

Step 3
Keep tabs on your sales, for $2.98/week, iTunes will tell who,when, and where bought you tracks.

Price
$19.98/year +
$0.99/song +
$0.99/each store, such as iTunes, Rhapsody, Zune, ect.

Note
By signing up to TuneCore, the songs you submitted willl be ur base, and all ur base blongs to THEM, so you can't use NewGrounds music, it has to be NEW.

Improvement:

Step 1:
Make good music.

Step 2:
Look for label interest.

Step 3:
Get signed to a label.

Step 4:
Get music on iTunes through them. Free for you, but they take royalties.

Personally, however, I like releasing music for free :P

Loogie, your last post didn't really make sense.

But do any of us here have any sort of fanbase to actively make money off our songs?

yes, you're talking to them.
simply by posting, "d00dz! i got my shit on iTunes! SQUEE SQUEE!!!" you got yourself at least 10 downloads right there.

That's hardly a lot, though, to be fair.

I'd be quite happy releasing my stuff for free rather than getting a little amount of money through iTunes.
Especially iTunes. I don't understand people buying from iTunes. Urgh.

I don't see the point in less people hearing my music and getting a little bit of money, when a lot of people could be hearing it, and I'd be getting no money.

Also iTunes has all that DRM bollocks.

well, if you very profilic, you can have the best of both world, and i THINK you can upload to NG AND iTunes. also, there are other site you can use.

Rofl no one is going to buy your music if they don't know who you are.

[Ambimetric]

No one would buy it from iTunes if they can get it off NG for free.
And what I'm saying is no one here has a big enough fanbase to make any worth-while cash off of something like this.

I'm not trying to bash your thread or anything, bro.

[WritersBlock]

I knew a guy who uploadeed some music through tunecore, apparently it's really good, but his main problem was that no-one has heard of him...
