Now that you have formed a band, wrote down songs and recorded it and you are sure about your finish products, it’s time to sell it. Just a reminder before we move on, this post is for indie bands or do – it – yourself type of bands. So you have recorded your songs and now the first thing to tackle is where you should sell it.
For indie bands like us, the best way to sell your music is thru online means. iTunes, Cdbaby, tunecore and reverbnation offers music distribution and selling for low prices, these sites are good ones because they really see to it that your cd sells, plus they also make physical copies of your digital music. It is kind of cool. You could also first think of promoting your music online thru the use of social networking sites. Upload your songs on MySpace and spread the world. The more people listen to you, the more they would want to buy your music.
The disadvantage of selling online is piracy and sharing but that is common nowadays so you could forget about it. The point here is you are spreading your music.
Still the best way to sell your music is at your gigs. Have someone set up a stall in the entrance and inform people that your cd is available there.
