As a musician wanting to expand your popularity base and boost your CD sales, Amazon.com may be a venue you hadn't considered. Using the Amazon service, you can offer your merchandise for sale in an environment that is trusted by customers, offers secure checkout options and is completely trackable from purchasing to shipping. Just like owning your own music store without the overhead, Amazon.com is a great option for moving your merchandise, including CD's and band memorabilia, out of your storage closet and into the hands of your fans.

So how does one go about getting their bands merchandise listed on Amazon.com?

Selling your bands music on Amazon.com is easy. Simply join the Amazon Advantage program to get your music added to the extensive catalog of music that Amazon.com has to offer. The Amazon Advantage Home Page, which can be found at https://www.amazon.com/gp/seller-account/mm-product-page.html?topic=200329780,offers full details on the program and its requirements.

The Benefits of Selling on Amazon.com

Amazon.com offers a variety of benefits to the unsigned band who is trying to sell CD's. One great service is global marketing, complete with the display of your cover art, track listings, display of your liner notes and the other CD information you provide. They also offer the advantage of immediate delivery because Amazon will keep a small inventory of your CD's available on hand for purchase. Using the Amazon Advantage program will automate the whole process of restocking, order fulfillment, tracking of sales, and keeping track of your inventory. The other advantage of using Amazon for selling your CD's is they will automatically cut you a check each month for any sales you may have had.

While Amazon.com may not be the perfect outlet for selling your music online, it does offer some very nice advantages to musicians who are just getting started with a home recording studio or Indie label.
