but i've got a record and i need to sell it.
i've got only thirty copies, but a really small DIY label put it out taking a risk on me, and now i'm afraid no one's gonna buy it cos it's really obscure stuff.
**i'm not asking anyone on here to buy my music**
i'm just curious if anyone on here has any DIY music projects of their own.
and how they sell their music to folks other than their friends.
i mean, im sure i'll sell a few copies at shows, but this album was written for a childhood friend who had a baby - its an album full of baby songs. weird, cute, creepy stuff.
i'm not sure how to market on the internerd.
anyone think they can help?
(i feel mega lame and uber-n00b.)

*shrug* My band sells self-produced albums (as in no production, recorded live and put out how it is) for a pound each to anyone who will have them. We don't sell many, but a dozen records is plenty to me.

Well, it's nice to put up samples of stuff; people don't generally just take a wild chance on something they've never heard, especially if it's not a big name. Some sort of website in general. A lot of small groups use Purevolume and Myspace. Then whore it out like crazy. (I think myspace is better for this part of the job).

I prefer purevolume. Myspace is a place for emokids to whore themselves. Purevolume is just the music.
