How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
Easy guys, i'm fresh on here, my names Jamie Walker (Jambow) - https://soundcloud.com/jambow
I'm currently studying at uni n i have a final major to complete, which is selling an E.P and creating a label to do so (but that's my question).
I feel i have thoroughly crawled through the internet looking for answers n so far i have heard of CDbaby n itunes do it at a cost though i'm just looking for somewhere for free where i can sell my music and hopefully pass this assignment.
Also, how much would i sell a 3 track E.P at? and how much each single? i've seen on iTunes once again at around 49p but then i see on other forums people are selling beats for like £100's?!?!
and finally... do i really need to set up a label to sell my tracks? i understand the mechanical royalties and sort numbers and what not. I'm really just no good with researching things i'd rather here it straight from the horses gob! And so far i've done alright but i need to start pushing myself out there now.
(A bit of a promo tip) if any labels or promoters wanna get in contact please do, i'm willing to provide all the music possible!
My email is - jJambowalker@gmail.com
Thanks a lot

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
I dunno the answer to your question, but just out of interest, what degree are you studying and at which uni?

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
You don't need to form a label, you can just whack your beats on soundcloud. Dunno, a lot of people starting out have the option of "Pay What You Like" and see if you make any p off that.
If you really think people should be paying for your stuff though, I'd be hard pushed to charge more than 99p for a track. We charge 75p a track, and that's fully mastered, etc.

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
Also, just checked out some of your tunes man, not bad at all. Always nice to see some producers in Birmingham too, big up.
Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
Nice one for getting back!
I study Popular music & practise at South birmingham college digbeth it's a HND so it is 3/4 of a degree and now i'm heading to Wolverhampton in september... Yeee i know i should know all this but i haven't taken greatly to the business side.
That's a reasonable price 75p (don't get me wrong i wasn't thinking hundreds n thousands) i'm looking for standard pricing and from what i've seen with other artist in a much better position i'm in, but for now it is for a uni project, it has only just dawned on me about name your own price as i have done it before now. (heat of the moment when it comes to work i just go blank)
I master my tracks myself to the best quality standard i'm capable of, let us know what you think critically when you get the chance.
Are there any other ways/sites without an initial cost that you guys know about?
Thanks again

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
You can sell through Juno and Digital Tunes for no initial cost, just takes a little longer to set up (or did when I started).
But yeah, imo, I'd probs advise 75p-99p a track, with around a 15-25% per tune decrease if you buy the whole release (if selling multiple tune releases that is)

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
Thanks for the help man! Truly appreciated, you reckon i could do a 2 -3 week exclusive on bandcamp for 75p (worth a try lad) n then after put it else where for 99p (sounds kinda cheeky i know but business wise it seems good to me, for my work anyway) What would be your opinion?
Well i'll be doing a 3 track garage E.P (the irony in the dubstep forum, i'm currently waiting to be accepted on the future garage forum)
so i'm assuming £2.97 to begin with then £1.35 with the %15 decrease, correct me if i'm wrong?
This will really help not only with the project i'm doing but also personally
Thanks a lot!

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
My stuff is cheaper on bandcamp than it is anywhere else anyway, so I'd say go for it. Try to use it as an incentive to go through bandcamp, as the % earned is much higher than in other shops.
Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
Sorted then, thank a lot man! As long as i'm selling my stuff everything should be bliss and then i'll just go from there then.
I really appreciate it, let's hope i get some sales now, the E.P should be out in about 2 - 3 weeks, i'll keep you posted though
Nice one!

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
I do like a twix with my coffee so I'm cool with that if you're willing to post it, as long as I get my 20p aswel.
I'll let you know when it's out so I can get my twix now that you offered.

Re: How much can i sell my tunes for on bandcamp?
Large ups man! I do appreciate the feedback, it's for a uni project for now and ye like you stated it does get my name out there a little further, which will then lead to sales in the end, hopefully anyway.
I do put a lot of free downloads out anyway man, it's just a 3 track garage E.P that i'll be selling plus i'm already working on an album which will be free.
In the end by the time i have a healthy back catalogue of stuff people will probably want to pay and support artists in the scene which is what i do and done even if it is name your own price, a couple quid ain't gonna hurt but then admittedly when the pockets had a hole in it n i want a track n it's there for free then why not.
I'm aware i ain't gonna be on the "Jay Z" wage from a 3 track e.p that i'm selling on bandcamp haha! so no offence taken
But.... If like my chill stuff and you have £3 then give us a sale
i can get a batch of backy for your humble sale and opinion haha! Oh.. and for the other... a twix!
