Bandzoogle Artists Reach $1 Million In Commission-Free Indie Web Sales

Bandzoogle.com, the leading website builder tool for musicians, has announced its member artists have exceeded $1 million in music and merchandise sales direct from their websites - a milestone made sweeter for members by the fact that Bandzoogle doesn't charge fees or commissions on those sales.

"The fact that Bandzoogle lets artists keep 100 percent of their sales sets us apart from the vast majority of e-commerce solutions for musicians," says Chris Vinson, president of Bandzoogle. "And our team is proud to have helped our members reach this million-dollar milestone," he says. "It demonstrates how our tools are helping musicians succeed on the web."

The store function is one of dozens of features that can be added to individual artist websites on the Bandzoogle platform. It uses PayPal to process transactions, allowing musicians to accept credit cards and sell direct to their fans instantly with a very low fee per transaction. What's more, artists can set up their website stores to let visitors purchase not only physical merchandise like CDs and t-shirts but also digital goods such as mp3 singles and albums... all in a single checkout.

"The 'House Of Rock' setting was really intimate with dim lighting and candles all around. We were in the middle of performing of a new song called 'Walk on Fire' and I was bashing a tambourine with my foot, when my foot slipped and smashed the candle holder leaving a sprawling flame rolling out toward the camera's and igniting the floor. I'm surprised I was allowed to stay! It was certainly the right song choice!" - The Fortunate Sons www.kerchoonz.com/thefortunatesons
