Selling
CDs Online: A Three-Pronged Approach
Thursday, February 27, 2003
|
(by
David Nevue) - Recently, a visitor to the Music
Biz Academy asked me a very common question; "How
can I sell more CDs on the Internet?" Good question,
though very open-ended. How you go about marketing your
music successfully depends on a great many factors.
This article contains some suggestions where to start.
I
recommend musicians take a three-pronged approach
to selling their music on the Internet. The first
'prong' is what I call 'targeting with buzz.' That
is, you create a buzz about your music and get people
talking about it. To do that, however, you need to
promote your music where people are already searching
for new music to try out. That is, instead of trying
to bring people to you (or your web site), you go
to where the people are already hanging out. Go where
the action is, so to speak. So, where's that?

How
to Beat the Major Labels at Their Own Game
Monday,
February 24, 2003 |
(by Bob Baker) - In an issue of the trade magazine
Billboard, columnist Chris Moore once expressed his
bewilderment over the avalanche of new releases from
independent labels during the months of October, November
and December. Obviously, these record companies want
to take advantage of the holiday buying frenzy. The
only problem, argued Moore, is that the major labels
choose these same months to release most of their
heavy-hitting new albums.
And
who do you think is going to get most of the attention
at retail stores and on the radio during the fourth
quarter every year? You can bet it won't be the
indie labels. [Read
