and the answer is: i’ve got no idea!
i’ve had a bunch of people ask me how things have been going on itunes – how many i’m selling, stuff like that. apparently there is a 2 month delay between the record first going up and me getting the first sales report (which goes through Tunecore rather than Apple). so in 2 months i’ll be able to tell you how i did this month. then after that i should get some kind of report once a month or so about any activity. i’m pretty curious about what the report will be like, and i’ll share that if i can when the first one comes. payment apparently also comes through Tunecore – it seems to be set up a bit like Paypal, where you kind of carry an account balance on their site and you can withdraw it whenever.
if you don’t mind writing a review i’d still appreciate it; a few people have rated it (which also helps – thanks!) on there, which you can do using the stars on the left. but if you search for me on itunes there is a link toward the bottom above the reviews that says “write a review”. you do have to have an itunes account to write a review, but you don’t have to buy it or anything. so if you don’t mind logging on there and doing that for me i’d be grateful!
We'll give you a holler when iTunes pays, Ryan! Congrats and best of luck.
