Wix Audio
What is Wix Audio?
Wix Audio is an application that allows musicians, podcasters, audiobook authors, and other creators to upload, showcase, and sell audio content directly on their Wix site. It is a comprehensive tool that includes a customizable audio player, the ability to create albums and playlists, and monetization tools. You can offer your tracks for free listening, sell them individually or as whole albums, and also make them available for download.
How to use Wix Audio in your work?
A musician or podcaster adds the Wix Audio app to their site. Then, they create an album or single, uploading audio files (in formats like MP3, WAV, etc.), cover art, and adding track information. In the settings, you can choose whether a track will be available for free, for purchase, or for streaming only. You can customize the player's design to match your site's style. The player can be placed on any page of the site. Creators use Wix Audio to build their official website where fans can not only listen to but also directly support their work by purchasing music.
What advantages does it provide and what problems does it solve?
The main advantage of Wix Audio is the creation of a direct sales and interaction channel with the audience. The service solves the problem of dependency on third-party streaming platforms that take a large portion of the revenue and do not provide data on listeners. It allows artists to sell their music commission-free (Wix takes no commission, only the payment gateway does). The platform solves the challenge of presenting audio content conveniently and beautifully on your own website. For creators, this means full control over their brand, pricing, and relationships with fans. Ultimately, it helps to diversify income and build an independent career.
How to integrate Wix Audio with other services?
Wix Audio is integrated with the commercial and content parts of the Wix platform. To sell tracks and albums, it directly uses Wix Payments. All buyers are automatically added to Wix CRM, allowing you to build a database of your fans. Using Wix Email Marketing, you can announce the release of a new album and send a link to it to your subscribers. To sell exclusive access to audio content, you can use it in conjunction with Wix Pricing Plans and Wix Members Area. Thus, Wix Audio is a central element for monetizing musical or audio creativity within the Wix ecosystem.
