If you’re trying to figure out how to sell your ringtones online, I gotta tell you, there’s a whole lot of junk out there that won’t help
you at all. When I tried searching for clues as to the best way to do it, it
was like a wild goose chase—the search engines gave me some lame forum links
and other non-relevant stuff. I finally got a little bit of a lead when I found
out about SnipSell.com through an Apple forum post.
SnipSell is one of the quickest ways to get started. They
have a 1-page interface where you upload your ringtone, choose your
compensation plan ($19.99 per year for 70% royalties or free for 50% royalties)
and they will upload your ringtone to the iTunes store. You have to put your
ringtone in m4r format for it to get recognized and be playable on iOS devices…at
least that’s what I remember. You get paid by PayPal. It seems to be a pretty
easy deal, although I wouldn’t expect too many people to become millionaires by
doing this. It can at least buy you some Dunkin Donuts money when the mood is
right.
I could be wrong, though…if there’s anyone really banking
with SnipSell, please leave me a comment below. I’d love to hear how you’ve
done it!
