Tunecore puts songs on iTunes and Rhapsody/Spotify for you, but it costs 50 dollar to put up an album with an annual renewal. Not much maybe, but now you see the revenue on the songs in the chart above. We have to sell 55 or so full albums a year to just pay for the costs, all the rest would be profit. The first year we had 10 dollar profit on the debut, that's all.
And did it open new doors for us? Did people buying from iTunes find us and asked us for a physical CD?
Not that we can see no. Our cd's are not in many stores after all, and I never had people say to me "oh I bought your CD via iTunes, and now I want the physical CD".
They DID hear it on Bandcamp tho, so that will be the line we will follow with FGG as well. And now with the rather seamless Facebook integration and all, I won't bother with Google+. It is yet another way to lose your time and patience, which bring nothing to the purse, and which keeps me from doing what I should do, eg. MAKE MUSIC

Al this might work for bigger bands, but not for starting or niche-bands.
