Your music marketing!How to promote your songs. Or how to market and sell your music online? sell music online. On this page I explain a few tips on how you canTo find some Indie music stores , and music promotion companies where you can promote and sell your music and songs.. If you are an independent artist or musicgroup, then selling your music online is defenitely an otion you have to consider. You don't know any? Itunes,(Music store) CD baby, (promotion company) To name a few very important services on the net.. These music promotion companies or promotion services are doing all the promotion and targeting to record labels, publishers,for you. So you and your band can focus on creating, and writing great songs. They are great help for bands. They help you, but this for a fee of course. Some asking one fee, (a few hundreds bucks). Others asking 50 for three month promotion.
Compilation CD..This,my friend, will cost you money. If you're a band or a performing artist then you can give it a try.But Pure songwriters, I would recommend no such kind of music promotion.( But this is my own opinion of course)For them it's a waste of money. Asking some 250$ or more( some 500$) to include in the compilation CD!!! Of course, as a band, you get a lot of exposure. But as a pure songwriter... I'm not sure about that point. Only if you ( the pure songwriter) don't care about the money,by all means, sign in. Note: If you're been asking for an inclusion on a compilation album( for a fee) That's nice, because not everyone is being asked, only the better songs will have a chance.( the company always makes an selection of all the received demo submissions) Even the smallest record company received a few hundred demo's a month's (and more). So you are one of the five hundreds. Thats not bad,I would say. A last word of advice on music promotion. If you get rejection letters or no letters at all( even when you include self-addressed, stamped envelop) . You must realize that there are thousands of record labels in the US and five hundreds( or more)In the UK. It's like fishing in a big lake with thousands of fish swimming in it, and there's that special fish , just right for you too. If you catch that fish, then your in the game.
