Who decides which MP3s are streaming, free to download, able to be purchased?
It is totally up to the artist or their label.


How do I, as a blogger, make money?
Artists have music on our site that you can place into little jukeboxes called XitePlayers. The embeddable XitePlayer is placed into your blog, and with the click of a button, it opens up to reveal a discreet digital store. Readers can listen and can buy with just a few clicks, directly from the artist, while staying on your site. You receive 10% of all net sales, artists receive 70%, and we keep the remaining 20% of all net sales.


Who handles accounting and royalty distribution?
ArtistXite will transfer your income share monthly to a PayPal account specified by you. ArtistXite will also transfer any payable mechanical royalties to the respective rights organizations.


How often will I get paid?
You will be paid monthly, by the 20th of the following month at the very latest. Should your earnings not exceed $20, the PayPal balance will hold over until you reach the $20 minimum, and it will be added to the next month's payment to you.


Do I need to be registered with a rights organization to use ArtistXite?
It is a good idea to be registered, in order to collect performance and mechanical royalties. However, in most countries, if all the recorded material is written by you, you do not have to register for mechanical royalty collection.


How and how much does ArtistXite charge me for this service?
This service is totally free for everyone. The only money that we receive is a percentage of the net sales. (We keep 30% of net sales and share those with the online media, when the sale was generated via their site, you receive 70% of net sales).


How do I embed my XitePlayer?
It is simple. After you populate your XitePlayer with songs of your choice, you merely click a button which will produce an HTML code. Insert this code into your site, and the XitePlayer will appear!


How long does an XitePlayer stay active?
They stay active as long as the music is made available through our site, and providing the HTML link remains embedded on the site in question.
