How to Set Up a Website to Sell Sheet Music


Go to Wordpress.com. If you already have an account there, log in. If you don't have an account, click the 'Sign Up Now' button. Follow the prompts in the sign-up process.
Mouse over 'My Blog' in the menu that now appears at the top of the screen and click 'Dashboard.' Configure your Settings and Appearance options according to your preferences. Under 'Pages,' edit your 'About' page to provide your visitors with information about what you're selling.
Create a blog post for each item you're selling. Enter the title of the sheet music as your post title, e.g., 'Moonlight Sonata Sheet Music for Clarinet.' On each page, include the following: a photo representing the sheet music; a description of what your customer is purchasing; any special instructions your customers should know before ordering; a Paypal shopping cart button (see section 2 below). Assign a category to each post to help shoppers navigate your inventory.
Click 'Publish' when the post is complete. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of your sheet music inventory is included on the site.
Click 'Appearance' in the left-hand sidebar of your Wordpress dashboard, then click 'Widgets.' If the 'Category' widget doesn't already appear in the blog sidebar, locate it in the list of widgets and drag it to the sidebar.

How to Set Up a Web Page to Sell Photos


Register a unique domain name. Select a name that is easy to remember and spell. Ensure that the domain you have chosen is available. Conduct a search with your domain name provider prior to purchasing.
Select an online photography shopping cart. The web shopping cart installs on your website and allows your customers to purchase photo prints or digital files, based on your preferences. Look for a program that will convert your images to low-resolution files, and creates a watermark to prevent unauthorized use of your photos.
Sign up for a web hosting service. Some photo shopping cart products offer hosting services in addition to product checkout. Look for a reliable hosting service with minimal server downtime and excellent reviews. Hosting prices vary based on bandwidth used and file storage space.
Set up payment options. Select an online payment provider in order to accept credit cards, and link the service to your shopping cart. Payment providers often charge between 2 percent and 3 percent in transaction fees for credit card orders.
Upload and price your photographs to your web gallery. Build your photo gallery using software from your photo shopping cart provider or a third-party company. If you have the technical ability, you can also build your photo gallery using HTML. Transfer your photo files and pricing information to your hosting service prior to launching your e-commerce website.
