Sell Your Music Online
Wrap-up
So, there you go. I have done a lot of work for you for the past several months, as far as giving you ‘from the horse’s mouth’ what these web music distribution companies have to offer. Now, the real work begins. You must decide which of these companies best suits your online music marketing needs. I am not recommending that you use all of them. Take it slow and easy at first, and add a new Internet marketing company to your mix as you feel comfortable doing so.
I have been saying for years now that the Internet is the future for independent musicians. All I can do is try to get you fired up about how many opportunities there are for you to promote your music. However, I have never felt more confident about the power of the web to kick-start a music marketing campaign then I do now.
Please note that there are several other websites and companies that may help you get the word out about promoting and selling your music over the Internet: www.muze.com, www.soundbuzz.com,and www.peoplesound.com ( purchased by Vitaminic) may be worth your while as well. But, I concentrated on the sites I did because they seemed to me to be the most successful for indie musicians. If you find them useful … great.
If you would like some first-hand feedback from a musician who knows what companies are best at selling and promoting music online, I would suggest you go check out David Nevue’s website at www.musicbizacademy.com. David has been using many of these companies with various degrees of success, and he might be a good jumping off point for deciding which company to try first.
Web marketing is only a part of your entire music marketing. Online activities must go hand in hand with your offline touring, publicity, radio, and other distribution and sales activities in the ‘analog’ world. But I sincerely believe that many of the companies I have introduced you to can go a long way to establishing and promoting you as a successful entrepreneurial musician in this new millennium.
