 Arkade
Less of a community, more of a way to sell music. The way they price packages is unique, so check out the site for full details. The gist is that you pay a flat fee and get 100% of your sales revenue. This site covers the "Album Pack" because it allows you to have 20 songs (as opposed to 5 or 3 with the lesser packages). They have a special pricing feature that allows you to run price specials for a limited amount of time, like 20 pence for the first 20 downloads (prices are in British Pounds). This profile last updated 2008-05-27.
Services:- sell your mp3s
- sell your CDs
- allows users to preview your music
- allows clips or full-length preview of music
- allows you to contact users/fans
- Other services: Cool feature: a ringtone generator!
| Costs:- a recurring fee of $20.00 per year
- Other costs: NOTE: These prices are in British Pounds.
The 20 Pound annual cost is for an Album Pack - you can only upload 20 songs and can have only 200 sales - then you need to upgrade your membership. For sales of physical CDs and merchandise, you pay a similar fee of 5 Pounds for 10 sales. But they only help you track and manage; the actual shipping is up to you.
