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.>>>>>>>
