How To Create An Artist Page on Google Music (and begin selling tracks in the Android Market)

Not too long ago, Google launched their Music cloud storage service.

This service allows you to connect your digital music collection to Google’s cloud.

Your albums and mp3s then become accessible to you from pretty much any device that can connect to the Internet.

Your work computer, your wife’s laptop, your mobile phone, or even your tablet PC.

Last week they launched their music store.

How does it work?

Simple, you pay $25 per artist page.

This is a one-time fee, no annual renewals.

You get unlimited albums, tracks, and changes to your page.

You set your own retail price for singles and albums.

Google keeps 30%. You get 70%.

Benefits?

You will be able to sell music on YouTube via buy links in your music videos.

Anytime a fan purchases a song from your Google Music page, they will instantly be able to share a free play with friends and others in their Google+ Circles.

That’s it?

It’s really that simple.

Considering Google’s market share and dominance of search engine traffic, you will want to make your music available to Google users as soon as you can.

Being able to buy songs while watching your videos on YouTube could make a huge impact on your sales.

I say this with the knowledge that video marketing is the #1 way to drive traffic, promote music, and sell people stuff.

Head over to the Google Music for Artists page and learn everything you need to know to get started.
