I think it's one of the best ways to go, since you can also put barcodes and shrink wrap to make it look very pro. The CD replication/duplication companies pretty much help you through all the steps it takes to make a disc ready to sell or handout. It's a great way to go that gives a lot of bang for the buck.
I know all about marketing music albums and feel free to ask me any questions about marketing albums through CDs and DVDs. |
sounds like self published book authors
who print a bunch of books and have big piles of them in the garage cause they cant sell them
you should have a way to sell the stuff before you make cds
or books
you need to get your name known - that is key
and you need to identify your target audience who is going to buy your stuff and how to get to them
dotn count on mom and friends to buy
they expect free copies
the dirty truth is tht if you record and home and never go out and get yourself known you are not goin gto sell squat
and are unlikely to be able to even give any downloads away
you might get folks to take a free cd
but will they ever play it ?
i have a box full of cassettes cds and dvds that i have been given that i might play someday - and i have 800 LPs and a couple of hundred CDs that I do play - because I bought them
you really need to get known so people will buy the stuff and then tell others
just having a great song that you like does not make you the better mousetrap guy with the world coming to you
