Selling your music online is easy!

In the same way that you can, as an ama­teur or pro­fes­sion­al, sell tick­ets to your event thanks to Weezevent, you can sell your music on the major stream­ing ser­vices and receive the rev­enue gen­er­at­ed through a ser­vice such as Wise­band.

Are you inter­est­ed in sell­ing and mon­etis­ing your music online? Dis­cov­er all our tips in this arti­cle.

    1. What are the conditions for selling your own music?

    Nowa­days, it is easy to sell your own music and make a prof­it from it on an inter­na­tion­al scale. How­ev­er, you have to meet some con­di­tions to be able to do so.

    First of all, you have to be the pro­duc­er of your music and obtain the autho­ri­sa­tions of the authors and com­posers of the titles if you make cov­ers. It is also nec­es­sary to show tenac­i­ty because, beyond the qual­i­ty of the music and the tal­ent of those who have cre­at­ed it, it is essen­tial to know how to make it known to the pub­lic, par­tic­u­lar­ly on social media, but also on stage dur­ing live shows.

    2. Do I have to sign with a producer?

    Devel­op­ing a career is dif­fi­cult, but more and more artists are choos­ing to self-pro­duce to remain free. While it is impor­tant to per­se­vere, artists must also know how to sur­round them­selves with their com­mu­ni­ty’s best advice and sup­port.

    Nowa­days, sign­ing a con­tract with a pro­duc­er (and giv­ing him all rights to your music) is no longer nec­es­sary, but it is still essen­tial to be accom­pa­nied. A dis­trib­u­tor, such as Wise­band, who will not keep your rights but only receive a com­mis­sion on stream­ing rev­enues, can advise you and help you make the right con­nec­tions.

    3. How do you create a community around your music?

    It is impor­tant to remem­ber that to mon­e­tise your music online suc­cess­ful­ly, you need to cre­ate a com­mu­ni­ty of loy­al fans. You must pro­mote your music and devel­op your online pres­ence, espe­cial­ly on social media.

    Of course, get­ting noticed is an ongo­ing process, and it can take time to achieve sig­nif­i­cant vis­i­bil­i­ty. Keep a pos­i­tive atti­tude and per­se­vere in your efforts to pro­mote your music and achieve your goals. Get in touch with music blog­gers and crit­ics to let them know about your music and get pos­i­tive reviews. But also, where help­ful, use paid pro­mo­tion­al tools, such as online adver­tis­ing, to reach new audi­ences. Wise­band also has a spe­cialised online mar­ket­ing depart­ment.

    4. How to diversify your income?

    Stream­ing is not the only avenue of devel­op­ment or the only source of income for artists.

    Live per­for­mance remains essen­tial and often allows the sale of records or mer­chan­dis­ing (T‑shirts, etc.) to finance the project. Again, Wise­band, spe­cialised in ser­vices for self-pro­duced artists, offers mer­chan­dis­ing ser­vices.


    Using a start-up like Wise­band to put your music on Spo­ti­fy or Deez­er is the best way to do what’s in your hand to devel­op your project. You won’t nec­es­sar­i­ly become a star, but every­one can suc­ceed!
