Introduction
Reap Music gives musicians all the benefits of a record label with none of the drawbacks.
| Typical Major Record Label | Reap Music |
|---|---|
| Royalties: 20% of gross sales. | Reap Music only charges 30% of gross sales, meaning that artists get to keep 70% for themselves. |
| You have about a one in a million chance of even getting heard, regardless of how good you are. | Reap Music automatically promotes your work to those who are most likely to enjoy it. Success depends on quality, not plain luck. |
| Exclusive contract, fixed duration and/or number of albums. | Reap Music does not demand exclusivity; artists are free to come and go as they please. |
| CD Manufacturing, packaging and distribution costs: about $2.20 each | Reap Music distributes online, meaning that all costs are covered by our 30% fee (the same one as mentioned above). No hidden extras! |
| Huge promotional budget, but it is usually all recouped from artist's royalties. | Reap Music allows artists to spend as much or as little as they like on promotion, with a basic package starting at $0. |
| Label owns all rights to the artist's music. | Artists keep all rights to their music. |

We'll give you the HTML code that you need to copy and paste into your own website:
It's as simple as that!
Fans visit your website and can listen to previews of your work before buying. We even take care of the shopping cart and credit card payments, so you don't need to. All of the music you sell will be provided in standard MP3 format, without DRM or other rights limitations, so your customers can enjoy it either at home, on their PC, Mac, or on any portable music player including the iPod!
We Promote
Once you've got your music uploaded and available to the world, you need to let the world know it's available for sale.
You can go ahead and do this yourself, or you can use one of the promotion packages that we provide. And there's even a free promotion package available for you to test us out with first without needing to pay us anything up front!
Whichever package you choose, you can be sure that your music will only be promoted to the ears of listeners who are most likely to be interested in buying it. No more random blasting to the biggest audience you can afford. Quality is king... at last!
You Collect
Track your sales online and watch your revenue grow in real time.
Once a month, if your balance has reached or exceeded US$100, we'll send the proceeds directly to you via PayPal. Note that we will deduct 30% of the amount of each sale to cover our running costs.
We give artists the biggest piece of the pie!
And most important: you keep all rights to your music and are in full control of it at all times. You can even continue to sell it yourself elsewhere if you like. You can stop selling at any time, without giving us any notice.
