Default Re: So who has actually sold some CD's?

I have sold a few. just a few. for me I have not really tried to sell. The one thing I found that is the biggest part of selling is simple. The more you wow them with the live show the more you will sell. I played at a place where they new and I did a lot of shows. A friend there finally bought a cd after comming to hear me many times. He and his wife came just to see me when i played. yet this was the first time they considered buying a cd. I asked them why now. I was told this was the first time I was good enough to make them want to buy one. If you want them to buy the second cd they have to like the first one they bought. The more cd's of different titles you have the more they think this person is worthy. they would not have so many different if they were not selling them so they must be ok. Go to Canada and play in a coffee house for free. you can market your self as international. but it all starts with what you do in front of them. You have to make them want you. it's that simple. In the words of Bill and Ted (BE EXCELLENT) my friend.
