Why Sell Songs with SHARE?

Streaming on traditional DSPs offers the benefits of global discoverability and ease of use for consumers. That said, on most platforms it can take thousands of streams to earn even $1 USD. With SHARE, you can set the price per stream and content access time that works for you. It's a great option to add to your overall monetization and distribution strategy.

Selling songs on SHARE means you get instant payments in crypto worldwide, revenue sharing and visibility on FORMLESS NETWORK, where you can publicly list your songs to be discovered by others. Additionally, any custom player built on SHARE Protocol can also access your song.

  1. Press Sell Digital Products and Share Earnings.

  1. Scroll down to Create a Digital Property with Revenue Sharing.

  1. Press Select Asset Type → Audio and enter video details such as title, description, and price. You can also specify a custom access time if you'd like listeners to have limited access to the content.

  1. Press Primary File → Upload New File to upload the track. Then, press Preview File → Upload New File to upload a custom preview of the song. You can use the same file if you'd like to preview the entire song, or bounce a custom preview and upload that here.

  1. Scroll down and press Revenue Sharing Details → Add an Owner to add any co-owners that should receive revenue for the song.

  1. Review revenues splits and ensure they are correct. Once the audio file is uploaded and all details have been reviewed, press Create to process and create the smart contract.

  1. Press View Digital Property Link to view your song purchase link.

  1. All done! When you share your link in text messages, it will appear with your custom preview, price and artwork as show below:

Navigate to → Create.
