Hello

First up: Editor's Note from the laptop of Robert Curtis,
your songwriter in residence at Songwriting Software Plus.

Followed by Items:

1. Safely Sell Your Songs From Your Site
2. This Month's Notable Quote
3. Songwriting Software Plus Software Superstars

Editor's Note:

In this edition the focus is on markets for your songs and what better market approach perhaps than to go directly to your end customer by selling your songs yourself.

With the advent of digital delivery, sites such as iTunes and the like have flourished and now there's a system that allows you to sell your own songs directly from your website with minimal cost and little to no hassle.

The company is UK based and has offices in New York and Sydney too and is being promoted in part by major music software maker Cakewalk as well.

Get all the details in today's feature article below.

Item 1

Safely Sell Your Songs From Your Site

As a songwriter you may be wanting to have your songs recorded by artists and or even yourself at least. If the later is part of your aim there is a program on the net that allows you to sell your own songs directly from your website called SafeSell.

With SafeSell there is no need to qualify to sell your songs from iTunes or similar sites although you can do that as well but with the SafeSell system you can do it all yourself (DIY) if you so choose and never bother with the majors if you prefer.

In essence you can start making money from your own songs immediately with SafeSell's music download software that is designed to empower indie artists and labels by enabling you to deploy your music easily and securely on your own.

The files are pretty universally playable on most portable players and devices as Windows Media files and will of course play on Microsoft's coming new player the Zune.

The files can be played on an iPod too (if you allow your sold songs to be burned to cd) and even on a Mac itself provided it has the right software. Click here for more on iPod and Mac issues and SafeSell (once at the clicked-to page scroll down half way through the faq page where the Mac question/answers are elaborated on).

SafeSell gives you complete control over the entire music download process: set your own pricing, set different pricing in different currencies/territories, determine your preferred bit-rate (including 'lossless' or 5.1 surroundsound), create preview tracks and establish all license terms.

SafeSell automates the entire encoding process: creating encoded tracks, preview tracks and generating web pages that fit easily into your existing website.
