Digital Download Cards Explained
[
RETURN TO DOWNLOAD CARDS 'HOME'
]
One of the
problems with download services such as iTunes is that
people download your music and then you get paid later... sometimes
much
later... and then you
only get a percentage of the selling price. That's not the
case with the Digital Download Card service provided by
CDwest.ca. Instead, you are in the drivers seat!
►
It's All About You!
With the Digital
Download Card service provided by CDwest.ca it's all about
you because...
▪
YOU manage
your music.
▪
YOU set the
price.
▪
YOU collect
the money up-front.
▪
YOU keep all
of the money with no hold-backs or commissions.
►
Placing Your Order
When you order
the Cards we need to know a few things:
▪
What quantity
of Download Cards do you want?
▪
How much do you want to sell your
Cards for? You can choose
"free" if you want to.
▪
How many downloads do you want the buyer to have access to?
▪
When will the
Card expire? You can choose "never" if you
want to.
►
When Your Order Is Ready
When your order
is ready you'll receive your Digital Download Cards but
you'll also receive log-in information to access your own
online account where you will manage the music you're making
available for download.
▪
Upload a
maximum of 25 songs (maximum of 15mb per song).
▪
You can update, remove or
add songs at any time.
▪
You can track
your download history - who downloaded, and what song(s).

What You'll See On Your Cards
The
front/cover of your Card is all yours so make the most out
of it by creating an eye-catching design. Full colour print
is included in the cost of your Cards.
The back of the
Card is reserved for important information. As you will see
from the example shown here: The number of downloads,
selling price and expiry date that you have chosen will all
be printed on the back of your Cards.
A website
address and pincode will also be printed so your fans can
access your music for download, but you cannot specify what
these two pieces of information will read.
►
Start Selling Your Cards
Now that you've
got your Digital Download Cards and you've uploaded your
music to your account, it's time to start selling your
Cards. Remember, unless you've chosen to give your Cards
away for free
you must get the money up-front from your
fans
.
►
What Your Fans Do
Once you've sold
a Card, your fan just has to visit the website address that
is noted on the back of the Download Card and enter the PIN
number. That will log your fan into your account home page
where your fans preview the songs available and download the
songs of their choice.
When your fans reach the
download limit that is printed on the back of the Cards, or
the Card expires, they will not be able to log back into
your home page to gain access to your music.
►
Renewing Your Account
A one year
account activation is included in the cost of your Download
Cards. After the one year activation has expired you have a
few options:
▪
Renew the
account for another year (please contact us for renewal
fee amount).
▪
Let the account expire
and order a new set of Cards - which will include a one
year account activation in the price.
▪
Let your account
expire and say "farewell" to the service.
