With more than 800 million users, iTunes is the leading online digital music retailer where users can download and pre-listen to music and video from their computers or other devices such as iPhones, iPads or iPods.

 

Do you want to make money by selling your music?

1710Media can help! Through our simple and successful process artists are able to upload their music and sell it on iTunes and other popular sites. On average, many artists earn $6.00 - $7.00 per album sold on iTunes and 60 - 70 cents per single. Meaning through music promotion and your fans, your music will start earning you royalties immediately.  


 

Where will iTunes make my music for sale?

It is the largest online music store worldwide, your music will be made available in more than 100 countries when selecting iTunes to sell your music.

 


 

How is iTunes selling my songs?

iTunes sells downloads, streaming via Apple Music and non-interactive streams through iTunes Radio. When you distribute your music with us it will automatically be made available on Apple Music and iTunes Radio.


 

 

What is a Pre-Order/ Pre-Sale and how to set it up?

A pre-order is an order placed for a Single / EP or Album which has not yet been released. Pre-orders allow fans to guarantee immediate delivery on release. But the main benefit is that you can start promoting your release prior to the release date with a buy link that you can share with your fans, blogs, social networks…etc.

An iTunes pre-sale is an optional feature you can use to sell and promote your newest album on iTunes prior to your actual release date.

Fans can pre-order your music and then automatically receive their purchase on the release date. (Note: You must submit your music for distribution at least 7 days before your release date to be eligible.) When you sign up with 1710Media, your music can be available for download in the iTunes Store in a few days (Usually between 1-3 days). It can also be available in Apple Music, a companion service to iTunes offering interactive music streaming to subscribers. If your songs aren't available for download in the iTunes Store and streaming via Apple Music, you're missing out on music revenue.
