Selling downloads on Soundclick.com?

Hi. I've set up one of my albums so that is is purchasable from soundclick.com. Is anyone else selling from soundclick.com? has it been successful? Does anyone know any other good sites that will sell your music for you?

Thanks.

I use soundclick to host my music but I have never sold a song. I would love to hear anyone's experience with this. Please post if you sell your music on soundclick.

Definitely better as a means of hosting your music or creating an online presence for those not fluent in HTML and graphics design.

I have sold a few hundred bucks worth of Mp3s on there though, but it's hard to get people to part with their money unless they're part of your actual fan base.

What cost do you sell your your mp3's for? On average how many do you sell a week/month?

I agree that it will be hard to get people to part with even $0.99 for a song but it would be nice to know people are buying your music.

Normally around $0.99 but I make most sales from full albums at $9.99

On average how many do you sell a week/month? How many full albums and home many songs only?

I been thinking they were beating me im had over 800 hits in two moths with no sales, And my friend has around 40 songs on there and said he never sold one. theres alot more sites out there musiacane,lulu,cafe express, but none of them are high in traffic. soundclick get the most hits but noone buys im releasing a mixcd in the next month and hope to have better succes with that.

800 hits in two months isn't anywhere near enough.

I get in excess of 10k per day (and thats on a bad one) and still only get approximately 10 sales or so per month. Plus you've sometimes got to accept that perhaps your music just isn't good enough to warrant people parting with their money.
