Did you know that we offer a platform for you to sell your digital products whether it be music, information or videos from your own website.
We developed this platform originally to give musicians the opportunity to actually make some money from providing a downloadable product …rather than it being free on Spotify. This idea then snowballed to being developed into something that can be used by anyone who wants their customers to access a product via a download.
So for example we sell Tutorial DVDs , Dance Shows ,Craft Making Lessons….as well as the many Music Tracks , Albums EP’s and DVD’s our customers upload, for their fans to purchase .
How does this work?
You set up your products and send us your content online or by post.
Your customers purchase your products by download or physical delivery .
Customers check out and pay through our payment facility and the funds go directly to your paypal account .
You pay us a monthly fee depending on the payment plan you choose with us.
If you dont sell anything you dont pay anything.
Have a look here at the website and if you need any more information call us on 01702 530354 and speak to Martin.

When the CD information or CD text is displayed on a computer, the information is coming from an online database. The database is usually Gracenote (the more common) or AllMusic.
The Gracenote database serves CD information to: Apple Music, WinAmp, Quintessential Media Player, and Finder (Mac OS). The AllMusic database serves CD information to: Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, and Real Music Player.
Registration on these databases must be completed by you for CD information/text to display.
You can find further information on how to submit your CD on the below links.

Lots of people ask us what is the best way to send content to us for CD & DVD duplication.
The choice is yours; you lose no quality whichever way you decide to send it to us.
You can either send us a hard copy master in the post or upload your files to us here to create a master for you.
We have to have a physical master for the duplication process to work so if you send files to us we create a cd/dvd master from those.
We can create a master disc from WAv Files,ISO,IMG,NRG. DDP or Bin/Cue
If you choose to send your files to us electronically you receive a link from us by email after you check out and this allows you to upload to us by WeTransfer. If you choose this option on check out is costs either £10 or £25 depending on which files you are sending and whether you need metadata adding.
If you are in any doubt or need any help with your order just call us on 01702 530 354, or come onto live chat and we can clarify things for you.

If you dont want to just give your music away via Spotify or any other streaming/download facility have a look at our sister company The Digital Publishing Center :
https://www.thedigitalpublishingcenter.com/
It is free to sign up and pay as you go service…if you dont sell anything you won’t pay anything.
Upload your content to our servers and your customers can buy your music/video or information with “buy buttons” from your website or social media pages. We action the digital delivery to your customer once they have paid you and bill you a monthly 10% commission fee.
It’s really worth looking into this as a way to make some money with less live gigs and social gatherings in the current climate.
