Posted on Wed, Dec 21, 2011 @ 11:09 AM
So, you’ve got great songs, and a great look, but if you’re going to make it in the music business, you’ve got to play live. Play more gigs…sell more CDs…Play more gigs…sell more CDs…It’s that simple!
Well, almost…
Gigging is the single best way to get your music heard and to build a fan base. Perform at as many venues as you can. Take advantage of the crowd’s approval by having your CDs available for sale after the performance. Maybe even give one away in a drawing. Selling your CDs directly at the gig will capture the most profit for you.
If you have a demo CD, be sure that your contact information is easily recognized on the CD, as well as the case or sleeve. Venue managers and booking agents receive a lot of demos and it’s easy to get them all mixed up.
Even if you don’t have a big budget, it doesn’t mean your CD packaging can’t have a professional look. There are CD packaging options to suit every project and every budget. Don’t order more than you need and spend too much up front. Find a local company that specializes in short run CD duplication, you can always reorder and have more available in a few days. A professional CD duplication company can often help you with the design and layout of your artwork for the CD label, as well as various CD packaging options. You can even thank your sponsors on the CD packaging.
Play more gigs…sell more CDs…
