If you're a musician, you've probably heard about CD Baby. CDBaby.com provides a place for you to sell your music online. CDBaby takes a small portion of your sales to cover expenses and you have eliminated much of the busy work of selling your own album.
How many times have you been to websites that seem to have what you need to sell your music, but end up ripping off your hard work with ridiculous commissions? CD baby seems dedicated to the musician, if you are looking to sell music, downloads, or evenaccept credit cards at shows! CD baby also gives out excellent recommended companies to work with and other valuable information.
CD baby seems to have everything that a DIY band could ever dream of. Well, I would say almost everything. The one thing that CD baby seems to lack is the networking possibility. The majority of the CD baby traffic is generated by bands that are looking to upload their music.
So as a band, how do you make up for the lack of networking? One great answer that many bands have been discovering is MySpace.com.
We wrote the book on it. Called "Creating a Buzz for Your Band: How to Promote Your Music on MySpace.com", this book explains how to use MySpace as an extensive networking tool. You can use this to supplement your CD baby site. You could be on your way to thousands of fans in just a few minutes; what are you waiting for? |
