The number of visitors to Ampcast is quite low and you shouldn't expect to much in way of sales of your music. A person who had a number #1 hit on Ampcast's pages only sold 2 CD's the whole time it was listed. There has been an evolutionary change over the years as to how Artists get paid. It used to be for every download of a song (visitors could download songs for free) from your artist page you would be paid 5 cents for each and every download. Now a person interested in your music has to pay upfront before he or she can download a song. Someone interested in your music has to now pay between 50 cents and a dollar for each and every song download. That in itself is a hindrance for people to download your music. The membership fee is $75 a year. They do pay you 50% of price of each CD sold. But since vistors to the site are quite low your music is not getting the exposure it deserves and sales of your CD would most likely be quite low also. There have been reports that after an Artist sells a CD from his page that the actual sale of the CD doesn't show up on the Artists page for sometimes over a month from the actual sale! If people see that your sales are not listed on your page (not an accurate listing) they will think your music is less than desirable possibly because your CD sales (if any) aren't reported accurately and showing a lower amount than may be the case.
Best regards,
Mike
