WAYS TO SELL OUR SELVES: ONLINE
GET YOURSELF ON INDEPENDENT MUSICIAN WEBSITES
This takes a while, but it will increase your web traffic 10-fold and
generate much interest in your music if you write your profile decently.
There are hundreds of website services out there that allow you to create
a
profile, share some of your MP3s, write a bio, share pictures, etc. I only
use those that are free. My list is below. Just lick on the URL and go to
the home page where you can find a link to sign up. Or use my URL and
backspace to the .com. or domain suffic. As with CD release
communications,
I recommend having a bio and all your material ready before hand, that way
you can visit these sites, sign up, get your stuff uploaded, and get our
quickly.

PM> Subject: WAYS TO SELL OUR SELVES: ONLINE>>>> I'd like to propose a
series of threads to collate all of the creativeideas about>> how we can
sell ourselves, both through online sales, online promotion,creating
gigs, creating new venues, et. al.>> so that we can all use it as a
resource in the future.>>>> The thread, CD SALES DECLINING has had some
really excellentcontributions about this phenomenon>> and noone disputing
the observation of the trend. The next obviousquestion is: Given
that, how can we>> maximize our sales (if we are attempting like many of
us are, to becommercially viable artists) and what creative>> things can
we do to create a new paradigm for surviving as a fine artistin this
economic climate.>>>> WAYS TO SELL OURSELVES: ONLINE>>>>>> I'd propose
that we NOT discuss philosophy in this thread, but rather,merely list
resources for the purpose of quick reference in the future>> for looping
artists. For the future of quick reference, please createa subthread if
you'd like to discuss philosophy (I know, as an example, thata>> lot of
people don't even believe in selling art at all)>>>> Kris and others have
mentioned CD Baby, Itunes, Amazon, et. al.>>>> Specifically, in each
instance,>> 1) how does one contact these organizations?>> 2) How do they
work?>> 3) Maybe a little critique, positive or negative about
people'sindividual experience with the various vendors.>> 4) Any other
pertinent information one might think of.>>>>>>>
