Sell digital band assets on your website with a new shop widget from Kiqlo.com

The team at MyMusicSuccess came across a new site this week that could prove very useful for the independent musician who wants to sell everything from MP3's to Screensavers, Band Desktops and other digital band merchandise directly from their website.

Kiqlo.Com is developing a portable 'Shop Widget' that you can integrate onto any website or social networking page that accepts widget code.

Currently the widget cannot be used with MySpace as MySpace block any flash widget that links to an external page, however the owner and developer of Kiqlo Rosario Iannella told me that they have plans to develop a MySpace compatible shop within the next couple of weeks.

Kiqlo is a completely free service, and takes no cut from your sales. The platform has been in development now for around a year, however they already have over 1000 vendors selling over 11,000 items through the stores every day.

The service uses the PayPal payment engine, so its very simple to recieve payments by setting up an account with PayPal and linking it with your Kiqlo shop by just entering your PayPal ID into the Kiqlo system.

Although you are able to sell MP3's through the shop with the Kiqlo MP3 playlist shop, you can also earn extra revenue by creating and selling downloadable wallpapers, exclusive backstage photosets, your bands biography in an ebook, literally any digital asset you want to create to create a one stop portable shop for all your bands digital assets.

Customer service is second to none. When we signed up to the service at MyMusicSuccess, we couldnt sign in as we had just upgraded our FireFox browser to the latest version. I emailed Kiqlo and within an hour the problem had been fixed and I was up and running. Rosario Iannela the creator, owner and developer of Kiqlo is fully commited to his project, and similar helpful experiences are documented in the companies forums which is always encouraging to see.

If you are looking for a way to raise money for your band, selling digital assets from your band is a great way to offer your fans a low cost investment into your brand, and using Kiqlo to sell these items directly from your web pages and social networks is a no brainer.
