Members grace_slick Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 Now, I know there are places you can upload content and sell (iTunes, and so on), but...why would anyone buy this music if they can get it for free if they find your sites on Soundclick, Soundcloud, Reverbnation, etc?

Members peanutroad Posted December 10, 2010 Members Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ideally, the music you're charging for would be in a higher quality format. Some folks will pay for the difference between a CD and a 128 mp3. I would...but some don't care, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted December 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hmm, maybe. I sort of figure why would anyone pay good money for a song they don't know by a person or band they've never heard of? I might make my music free to get some sort of following and then once they want me, I'll charge 'em. lol *has no idea* lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of figure why would anyone pay good money for a song they don't know by a person or band they've never heard of? they don't. maybe 10 people will (ie your closest family and friends), but that's it. I might make my music free to get some sort of following and then once they want me, I'll charge 'em. lol *has no idea* lol as a musician entreprenuer, which you aspire to be, music isn't about music so much as it's about 360 degree entertainment. it's like a full-frontal assault on all the senses by having a youtube video that's either SUPER RAD or funny, with music, or by getting your tune to be the background of a TV show or commercial (especially if you do that silly female on a ukelele thing that the ad firms love these days). or by becoming a DJ yourself, and sneaking your songs into the mix. nyuk nyuk, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grace_slick Posted December 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2010 Heheh, I had an opportunity to do that actually, a year ago, but had no time to do it properly so let it go. Was a Canadian online radio show, heheh. But I do know people on some radio stations so when I'm ready, my songs can play on them. Not a huge following, but a cult one and they're not tiny either. I also intend, for most of my songs, to do videos which I'll put on Youtube...and I also have other marketing ploys in mind too, heh, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look cute, you may have a chance... Show yourself. Other than that, you (we) are screwed trying to sell music online. Its goddamn near impossible.

Unlike stores that give away free samples of cookies or cans of soup, they're counting on you liking them and buying 20 more over the next few months. Once people have your songs for free, what is left for them to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
