How To Monetize Free Music Downloads?
I'm wondering if you all could give me any advice or input on what the best way to actually make money from giving away free mp3 music tracks would be?
I've been researching and thinking about this. If there was a reliable way to do this that paid well I would bet money it would be huge for the music industry.
One option is CPA or pay to download sites but I don't want people downloading my music to have to fill out surveys, no one wants to do that.
Then there are sites like linkbucks that pay money per 1000 clicks, but this payout is way to low.
I'm looking for a way to make money off of each individual track downloaded for free.
There are two interesting services I've found. One is Guvera.com who supposedly pay $1 per download, which is huge, but i don't think they are accepting unsigned artists right now.
The other is gimmesound.com, it looks very promising, but I don't know how well the payout is, does anyone have any info on them?
If you think about free music downloads in terms if marketing and conversions, the conversion rate is ridiculously high and very easy if you have good music.
I have a band giving away free downloads on facebook, and at only around 110 fans on facebook, there is about 60-70 downloads per track, with 4 tracks total. This is pretty insane if you think about it as a conversion rate... And if I were able to monetize each free download for somewhere between 50 cents to a dollar, this would be a rediculously easy method of earning money with music.
I don't know, there has to be some ad program I could use. Or a site like gimmesounds that pays well. Or gimmesound.com if anyone knows what their payout is
The only other thing I've came across is this. http://www.independentmusicadvice.co...om-free-music/
Does anyone know what he's talking about to get that much from downloads? Probably some survey pay per download site (which really isn't what I'm looking for)
Thanks
