Thus they help will meet to buyers and sellers of musical and sound files and to make the transaction on to sale and purchase. These resources are called as Audio-stocks (Stock Audio).
Audio-stocks - platforms of sale of author's music.
The audio-stock assumes all work on search of buyers of your music, and receptions of payments that as much as possible simplifies to the musician existence. The owner of audio-files needs to be registered only in audio-drains and to send there on sale the pieces of music. And its music will be on sale without days off and day and night! Involves that the same musical compositions can be on sale tens and hundreds times without your participation.
In total that from you it is required to create it a musical track, or sound effect, to publish it in an audio-drain, to enter the key words and all! Further, sometimes come and look how many ran money. You ask “what to do in free time?”. That want that and do, can lie on a sofa, and can do the following composition, for increase in earnings.
Many musicians don't understand as there is a process of sale of audio-files, doubt that someone will want to buy them music, they think that it is unreal. Actually it much more simply than to sell music in the real world. To you not it is necessary to look for clients, to pester agencies, to do other unnecessary movements … Only ponder … On audio-drains monthly come million buyers from all over the world! It is a great lot of the people!
Naturally, the audio-stock does the work not free of charge. From sale of your piece of music you receive from 25 to 70 %, the audio-drain leaves other sum to itself.
Selling the music on audio-drains it is possible to earn to several thousand dollars a month. Everything depends on quality of music, its demand and the size of your portfolio. On the average 400-500 dollars at a small portfolio at 30-40 compositions.
Who buys music and sound effects on audio-stocks?
Producers of advertizing, prompts, flash movies, various games and appendices, programs, designers, DJs, sometimes listeners and others …
Sales by audio-stocks are carried out generally according to two licenses:
1. The license for private noncommercial use.
For example for roller creation for friends, a site, work for school, etc. There are pieces of music from 2 to 20 dollars (approximately).
2. The expanded license for commercial use.
Grants the right to the buyer of music and sound effects to use work for commercial purposes, but doesn't grant the right to sell or duplicate work more certain quantity of times, for example 10 000 copies of cards with yours synthpop to magnifying glasses, commercial release, etc. All rights to music remain with you. Are more expensive of works at 10-20 time, than according to the first license.
If you still doubt that sale of author's music in the Internet is a profitable business, here to you examples:
Example 1. The extremely simple set of sounds in cost in 5 dollars was sold 115 times. Let's count how many this author received money. If he sold it according to “The license for private noncommercial use”, he received 25 % from each sale. 25 % from 5 dollars are 1 dollar of 25 cents, we multiply $1,25 on 115 = $143,75. It turns out that he only on one this file earned 143 dollars of 75 cents! It is sure, you and ten cents for such "product" won't give, however it appears that by means of an audio-drain it is possible to sell it for 143 dollars! (and this figure will increase).
Example 2. This quite simple musical composition at the price of $14 was sold 291 times. If to assume that the author sold it according to “The license for private noncommercial use”, he received 25 % from each sale. 25 % from $14 are 3,5 dollars. $3,5 it is multiplied on 291, we receive $1018,5. The composer earned on it 1018 dollars! And this sum will increase, as sales proceed. And it only on one audio-drain, and it is possible to be registered on several. If the author sold the music according to “The expanded license for commercial use”, its earnings are even higher - 50-70 % from sale! Consider.
