GET YOURSELF ON INDEPENDENT MUSICIAN WEBSITES This takes a while, but it will increase your web traffic 10-fold and generate much interest in your music if you write your profile decently. There are hundreds of website services out there that allow you to create a profile, share some of your MP3s, write a bio, share pictures, etc. I only use those that are free. My list is below. Just lick on the URL and go to the home page where you can find a link to sign up. Or use my URL and backspace to the .com. or domain suffic. As with CD release communications, I recommend having a bio and all your material ready before hand, that way you can visit these sites, sign up, get your stuff uploaded, and get our quickly.

The next obviousquestion is: Given that, how can we>> maximize our sales (if we are attempting like many of us are, to becommercially viable artists) and what creative>> things can we do to create a new paradigm for surviving as a fine artistin this economic climate.>>>> WAYS TO SELL OURSELVES: ONLINE>>>>>> I'd propose that we NOT discuss philosophy in this thread, but rather,merely list resources for the purpose of quick reference in the future>> for looping artists. For the future of quick reference, please createa subthread if you'd like to discuss philosophy (I know, as an example, thata>> lot of people don't even believe in selling art at all)>>>> Kris and others have mentioned CD Baby, Itunes, Amazon, et. al.>>>> Specifically, in each instance,>> 1) how does one contact these organizations?>> 2) How do they work?>> 3) Maybe a little critique, positive or negative about people'sindividual experience with the various vendors.>> 4) Any other pertinent information one might think of.>>>>>>>
