Q. How does rockpaperscissorsshop sell my music?

We promote your music through our network of music media partners. As part of the rockpaperscissorsshop Network your music will appear on the web site of each of these partners in front of a combined audience of over 3 million site visitors each month.

Our media partners include: National Geographic, Link TV, Afropop Worldwide Global Rhythm, Brazilmax and Mondomix.

Q. How does the money work?

A. Our customers may purchase downloads of your music at a price range between 75 and 99 cents per song. Your music is sold by the downloadable track. You will receive 70% of the net revenues from your music downloads sold. Net revenues are determined as the gross revenues less merchant fees. We pay you four times a year (every quarter) for your downloads. (If the amount we owe you is less than $50 then we will hold the amount until the amount is greater than $50.) We give you an account with a user name and password that allows you to look at reports of how many downloads your songs have received and how much money you have earned.

Q. What else do I get?

A. We can help you network with other musicians, radio & club dj's and fans. This will help you get more gigs and sell more music. The big money is in licensing music for games, movies and commercials. We promote your music for this use, and offer an easy system for music-licensing customers to find your music and buy it online. What the Internet did for clip-art, we think we can do for music.

Q. Are there any catches?

A. No, it’s easier than you think. Our agreement is completely non-exclusive. You retain ownership of the copyrights and all other rights in any content and material submitted by you.
