Can I just sell my songs that i make after copywriting them?
Can I make my own site and sell my music that I made (already copywrited) on it? Like the person will have to pay and it will then be avaliable for download to them. and does the price matter or can i price my songs according to whatever I want? or do i have to be with any producer company or sumthin to sell my tracks? thanks alot

If you don’t get out there with a band singing them or on the radio or in the clubs – you are copywriting a black hole.
You copywrite a song, including beats, lyrics, etc. – then send demos. You may need a promoter/manager for this.
Lyrics by themselves rarely sell. I know. I’ve got almost 50 of them.
Sure, that’s what copyright is all about: your right to copy and sell your works. If you own the copyright, you can sell them however you want, at whatever price you want. Some sites like iTunes have standard prices, but others like Snocap (the one MySpace uses) let you set your own price. Or you can sell them through eBay, or just advertise them on your own web site and use PayPal or some other service to handle the money.
