How Your Band Can Make Money Online
ByIf any of you guys are trying to make a living from music, you might be trying to sell your CDs, mp3s, sell merchandise, do gigs, teach guitar on the side and so on.
You might want to consider selling access to your band online by creating a Backstage VIP pass, or fan club membership. This can be done fairly easily these days with a membership site.
With the recent trends in social networking and communities and with the ease of copying digital music, you might want to sell something of higher perceived value. Selling access to your band is done by protecting certain pages of your site. You might have current song demos, behind the scenes videos, and other cool stuff that your fans might want to get access to. And you should definitely considering managing this yourself as you will get all the revenues.
It’s all about building a relationship with your fans and offering something unique. A membership site is cool because it can give you recurring revenues from each fan rather than just a one time purchase. So think about selling access to your band online.
