Sell MP3 music online using Flash music player
As the world goes digital, more and more people are likely to download MP3 music than buying a traditional CD because you can store a collection of music in your desktop or MP3 music player without occupying your physical space. In the past, you had to pay for an entire CD and get one or two songs that you really like, which is a complete waste of money. Nowadays, everyone can purchase MP3 music online easily and many musicians start making money on selling music.
This will give you a chance to attract more people and increase your sales. You also benefit by receiving all of the income less the merchant costs.
As a minimum you will need to:
1. Create your website
2. Add a music player
3. Add a merchant facility to accept money
4. Add a download page.
5. Fill the site with text content and make it Search Engine friendly
 For extra functionality you could consider a blog.
Creating a website
This is easy with the tools available today. There are many free or inexpensive HTML templates available or if you need a little more presence try A4DeskPro flash website builder.
Add a music player.
A music player to showcase your products is important. If you use A4Desk Flash Music Player you can create your own playlists. Feel comfortable that your music is safe from a web snatch. It is protected. There are a good number of skins so the choice of look and feel is easy.
Add a merchant facility
There are many merchant services available with varying rates. I see PayPal as the easiest to setup and use.
Add a download page
A small hint. Do NOT call your thank you page thank_you or download. For a bit of fun, type "thank_you.html" or "download.html" into Google and see just how many download pages you can find.
Add some text content
A few pages of content are necessary for the search engines to find. This can be about your band or group. People like to know a little about their new favourite band, their plans and music released. If you are planning on releasing a new album shortly, say so! Talk about where you started, where you are going and any tours that are planned.
These days a business is not complete without a web presence. Put it together and make it pay. You need followers to increase your sales. Give them a place to gather. You can still use the other services initially until your site has caught up. You need a site anyway, and while you have a visitor, you should give him or her the opportunity to buy whilst they are there.
