How to sell music on bandcamp


1. Sign up for a BandCamp Artist account by visiting bandcamp.com/signup. You will be asked for your band name, genre and location.
2. Choose your band's domain name. The URL will be your-bands-name.bandcamp.com.
3. Upload your first track. Bandcamp accepts songs up to 291 MB in .wav, .aif or .flac file formats.
4. Enter track information, credits and lyrics. According to Bandcamp.com, the more you explain about your music, the more likely it is to sell.
5. Set the price for the individual tracks or let the fans choose how much they would like to pay. You can give up to 200 tracks away free each month.
6. Save the track when the song has finished uploading. If the song is part of an album or EP follow the instructions on the next page to upload album information, attach cover art and set the album price.
7. Make money through regular payments to your PayPal account. If you do not have one, you will be directed to PayPal.com in order to sign up.
8. Share your album by embedding a Bandcamp player on your website. Bandcamp keeps track of statistics such as sales and the number of plays on BandCamp.com and through embedded players on your sites.
