If you’re trying to take your music journey to the next level, what are the best and most effective ways to sell your music?

There are loads of online music stores and streaming services available so selling your music online shouldn't be ignored. Traversing the endless online music stores and streaming services seems like a complicated affair when choosing the right one.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You’ve put your heart and soul into your music so getting the most back sounds pretty good right?
<blockquote><strong>No matter where you go, you’re going to lose slices of those returns, it’s unavoidable. But what is avoidable, is limiting how big a slice is being cut.</strong></blockquote>
The absolute best way to sell your own music is to make your own website. With your own website there is no cut, you keep it all! Not only can you sell your own music, but you can also sell your own merch. Sounds great, sounds easy, how can you lose?

With that slice of the internet that’s completely yours you can control the narrative around your music. You’ll never need to rely on social media algorithms and trends to get your songs heard. Experts agree that music fans actually prefer to buy directly from the artist, preventing streaming giants from taking a substantial cut from the price.

When you have your own website it not only gives you the power to sell your music directly, but also enables you to create a wider online community and presence around your work. You control what content and information you distribute to your fans.

Controlling the direction of your music, your audience, your slice, what could go wrong?
<blockquote><strong>I can answer that question in one word, everything. Everything can go wrong.</strong></blockquote>
Building a professional website is extremely difficult. Sure, you can do a WIX site for a buck or whatever it is, but at the end of the day - it looks like it cost a buck. When someone lands on a great looking website they say to themselves, <em>this looks professional…these <strong>are</strong> professionals</em>. With everything in your life on top of making music, building a website that looks great with your own two hands is a heartbreak waiting to happen.

If you’ve never built a website before, just erase a few months; a few painful months, out of your life forever. Once that’s over with, it’s out of the frying pan and into the fire. Selling your own music is a tall glass of boiling water.

How do you even reach the audience? If there wasn’t enough hours in the day already, there isn’t going to be any free time left now. Selling merch and not slicing out anything out is great, but again…time. If you’re late getting an order out, you’re going to have problems...big problems Who’s even making your merch and how much are you losing before it even hits the street anyway?
