You make the music. You make the money.
Sell your songs for $0.99 and make $0.80 on each sale. You keep 80 percent of each sale you make!
Until now, it has been accepted as the unfortunate reality that signing with a major label is the only way for an artist to distribute music to a large number of people. However, digital media and the internet have made it possible to cut distribution costs. We Music Store is an online distributor that firmly believes in compensating the artist rightfully. Unlike the majors, we actually pay the artist most of the money -- for each $0.99 song downloaded, $0.80 goes to the artist. The remainder goes toward maintaining storage and bandwith costs so that we at We Music Store can provide this service.
All musicians can sell their music.
In order to get a major record deal, an artist must prove the ability to sell thousands of records a year -- but We Music Store makes it possible for anyone, big or small, to distribute and sell their music over the internet. You shouldn't have to borrow money from a major and then worry about paying them back with each album sale you make. The majority of the artists that join the majors get stuck trying to pay off their loan and they don't see a dime of any album they sell.
At We Music Store, from your first song sale to the last one, you keep 80 percent of every sale. You shouldn't have to be screwed by the majors in order to make it big. Just record your music, upload it to We Music Store and start selling! The more you sell, the more money you make -- and you don't have to worry about paying off a loan!
And while you're at it, fight music piracy.
It's easy to rationalize stealing music by saying, "The artist doesn't get much of the record sales anyway. The only person I'm really stealing from is the label." On top of that, do you think the majors care about you stealing from the artists? Hell, no -- they've been stealing from artists for years. We Music Store is here to break up their monopoly. As soon as you start paying the artist most of the proceeds from music sales, pirates can no longer make this rationalization. Place some responsibility directly on the listeners, and watch music pirating trends drop.
