Presence. That is the key when you're getting online with your music. Of course, the music is the reason you are who you are, but a cohesive "brand" and an intuitive experience is what you want your fans, new fans and music lovers to discover when they visit your Web site. Rather than cookie-cutters, we're master chefs! That's why we've spent years and lots of money creating just the things you need to have an easy-to-maintain Web presence that also lets you concentrate on what you really love -
the music!
We can do it all. Any of the plans below can be setup with your domain name (we can even take your existing site and move it here, along with your existing colors and logo - probably, even save you some money over what you currently pay), and that is the key to anything, really - keep it simple and easy - www.your-band-name.com is much easier for people to remember than songplanet.com/your-band-name. And that is the approach we take - top down - our first concern is YOU and we know if we do that well, it will help us survive, too! Of course, not everyone needs their own domain - the real point here is: we can provide whatever you need!
All plans below include one-on-one contact with a member of the SongPlanet staff during setup. Once you've purchased a plan, you'll be contacted within 24 hours so we can be sure you're happy and that you have all the information you need to move forward with your site.

* Net after transaction fee - this refers to the amount actually transferred to the SongPlanet account, and then your account, after Paypal fees are deducted. In a scenario for an artist with the "Free Artist" plan, this means that when a song is sold for $1 and Paypal takes 2.9% + 30 cents, the "net after transaction fee" total is 67 cents. Minus SongPlanet's 25% - the artist makes 50 cents. More info is
available here.
- Song Sales Details/Stats
- Digital downloads are priced at $1 per song for 192 KBPS MP3 files.
- Payments to the artist for song sales are made quarterly (Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1 and Oct 1) via Paypal when there is at least $20 owed the artist. If the amount is less than $20, it will be carried over to the next quarter. If the amount remains less than $20 through the first three quarters, the balance will be paid in full on Jan 1.
- Sales stats will appear in your stats page as soon as you have a sale. Info provided is: song sold, date and time of sale, email of buyer
