Hello all I just wanted to learn a bit more on selling sheet music online. It seems that there are a couple of routes into this and I didn't really find an extensive thread on this over here (sorry if there is one, maybe I'm bad at searching)
I have come across a couple of options but it's all a little overwhelming and I think I (and maybe a lot of other users as well) would benefit from some firsthand user testimonies from people in this community.
Thanks a lot!
ps: should this be out of place or already answered on here, let me know and I'll (re)move it!
Hi, I am selling my sheetmusic directly my web site through a E-shop provide by one of my distributor but it is not "nice" looking. I wander, any of you have tried by Shopify ? So we can directly send on Spotify. Is that work good ?
Hmm, i'm currently setting up a sheet music section on my website to sell my music from. I use bandzoogle at the moment and the process was a bit annoying but once you get going it seems pretty easy. I suppose it depends on whether you have your own site as to which way to go. I'm still testing things out but I'll let you know how it works out soon. I may need a guinea pig or 2 to download some free sheet music from my site to make sure it arrives ok first!
That´s a nice idea! I already use bandcamp for another project and was definitely considering putting my piano album there as well. I didn´t know you could also sell pdf´s though! Is it easy to set up?
Thanks!
Hi Willem,
I'm sure people have discussed on different specific sites to sell sheet music on previous posts, but that being said, i don't think there's a thread on a general approach to selling sheet music so there's no need to delete this.
Personally, i sell my sheet music via Bandcamp. They take 10% for each sale but it's very easy to use. The only thing i don't like is that you have to manually send the sheet music to each person who buys one, and i've sold over 500+ so far. Because of time zones, sometimes i would wake up in the morning and see that someone placed an order while i was sleeping. To deal with this, i made sure to put in the description of each sheet music that it's a PDF file, and that the file will be sent by email within 24 hours. Never had any issues so far!
Hope this helps. :)
