What I Wish I Knew About Self-Publishing as a Composer

I share everything I've learned about self-publishing and the best way to go about it as a beginning composer. Self-publishing your music is the first step to being treated like a professional composer, and it's not as difficult as you think. All the relevant websites and links are listed below.

Thank-you. I didn’t know about JD Pepper.

I'm ok with the 50 percent commission as I can reach a wide audience through sites like MyScore with JWPepper and ArrangeMe with Sheet Music plus. My gripe is that people seem to only purchase the minimum number of copies (one site is 5 and one is 10). As composer of choral music it seems unfair that people are obviously buying the minimum required and then photocopying the rest. I very much doubt that there are that many 5 and 10 person choirs!

Is it possible to publish arrangements of works to these websites? Either in the Public domain or copyrighted work you've gotten rights to. I don't know if some companies only allow you to publish original works
