It wasn’t that long ago that getting your music distributed to masses of people was a very difficult and expensive process.  Fortunately, thanks to the Internet and digital media, you can now easily sell your music all over the world.

iTunes is the most well-known and largest digital music retailer online, and it’s the first place that you should be thinking about when it comes to digital distribution of your music.

However, there are other digital music retailers as well.  There’s Amazon, Spotify, Napster, and many others.  So how do you get your music on all of these sites?

It’s actually quite easy to start selling music on iTunes and other online music stores once you have a basic understanding of how to promote your music through the proper digital distribution channels.  You just need to create an account with an online music distribution service like TuneCore.

tunecoreTuneCore is a very affordable service that will put your music on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and other sites that sell music online.  They collect your money for you, and you get to keep 100{cb11fcc023a7235c940295f864ca26ce88af4cc22ecd87de716518c7393125a7}.  That is of course after the usual fees from the retailers, but TuneCore doesn’t take a cut.  Instead, they simply charge you a flat fee upfront to do all of the work for you.
