1. DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES
By JaWar
Digital distribution should be included in your business, marketing and overall
strategic planning. Digital distribution affords you the opportunity to tap into a
worldwide market 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, digital distribution
creates opportunities, whereby you may receive passive income and stay in
direct contact with current and potential fans and business associates.
Passive income is where you get paid royalties (money) long after the initial work
has been completed. For example, if you record a song in 2006 and the song
continues to sale in 2030 with little to no effort on your part then you have created
a passive income opportunity for yourself.
The passive income opportunity is real, especially if you create and control your
own copyrights and music publishing. Let’s say that you made a song you
created in 2006 available for sale via a digital download on 10 websites, where
you received a $.50 cent royalty each time the song was downloaded. In addition,
let’s assume that you have been promoting very well and each site gets 100
downloads a month. You would effectively receive $500 a month in royalties.
Here is how the math (money) breaks down.
$.50/cent download X 100 downloads month= $50/month
$50/month
$50/month site X 10 sites = $500/month
$500 X 12/months = $6,000/year
Keep in mind that you still may have to actively promote your music, informing
current and potential fans where your music may be purchased. The point here is
after you have created a practical plan and executed your plan you should begin
to see sales with minimum effort on your part. This will afford you greater control
over your time to enjoy life, help the less fortunate and leave a growing financial

continue to follow a system that will create opportunities for you to generate
passive or residual royalties (income). Remember digital distribution may include
downloadable music or streaming audio files via the Internet, ringtones and a
number of other applications yet to be created.
