When it comes to selling your songs and
lyrics, songwriters today have it much
easier than they did just a few years ago.
More songs are now bought, sold and
downloaded online than almost any
other way, and song-selling sites such
as The Songwriter's Online Marketplace
have provided songwriters and lyricists
with yet another way to sell their songs
and lyrics, and to earn songwriting
royalties and advances.
I think that Vanessa Johnson, the New
Talent Director for London Sky Records,
said it best: "When we need to find new
talent, we don't wait for it to walk in the
door. Songwriters and singers who are
out there promoting themselves make it
easy for us to discover new talent".

"I think that's why online songwriting
sites and music sites are so successful,
because it works both ways: singers
and songwriters can get discovered
by record companies and recording
artists a lot more easily than they used
to, while record company executives
and recording artists can find exactly
what they're looking for".
When you're Selling Your Songs online,
it's very important to create a good
Songwriter Profile that essentially tells
potential song buyers and interested
music-industry executives about you as
a songwriter, such as what type of
songs you write, which markets you
think your songs and lyrics would sell
best in, and which recording artists
they're best suited to. The good news
is that a lot of the online songwriting
sites will be happy to create your
sites and music sites are so successful,

can usually approve and change any
way you like, before it's finalized.
Another big advantage of selling your
songs and lyrics online is that it can
eliminate the "middle-man". Since
the songwriters deal directly with the
song buyers and music industry
representatives, songwriters don't
require an agent or manager to sell
their songs for them, and therefore,
don't have to pay an agent's fee or
commission, which can sometimes
be as high as 15% of the price that
the songs and lyrics sell for. This
means that songwriters ultimately
earn more money for their songs ...
