You don't have a label deal, you just paid a producer to help produce your CD for a few thousand dollars. You need to sell some copies. Your music is realistically okay, certainly as good as some signed acts, but also nothing really earth shattering. How, in your opinion is the best way to sell those CDs?

Go into AOL Chat Rooms and try to sell your CD! Your fans can then chat with you online everytime you log into AIM!

If I were unsigned I would have a bunch of copies made up and bring them to local music stores (i.e. Bull Moose Music). I would also go to my local radio station WCYY who love playing local artists signed or not. I would also set up a website where you could order the cd. As well as doing local concerts (probably all of New England).

I'd bring my CD to university stations and hope they played them and play in clubs and small venues around Halifax. Also, price my CDs for approx. $8-$10. I'd also open for bigger acts too that happen to drop into Halifax.

Put up a link on yourmp3.net and keep voting 10's for my song!  Then it will be #1 for the day. Do interviews with all those "online magazines," such as Popyoularity, Spotlight, and Kriselen! Add myself to CDbaby.com, and write that I sound like all the most popular singers. Set up a street team and give out free t-shirts and stuff. Make a website, TheoSings.com, and offer clips from my album on it (a la AndrewSings.com)! |
