To sell or not to sell


By aboycalled, 2010-01-15

<p>Been wondering recently when <em>is</em> a good time to start selling your music?</p><p>I've always had the conception, misguided or otherwise, that you start to sell when you have a big enough fan base, but on my internet travels there's been a lot of information that stamps on my theory like a large workboot on top of a roach, so the question still stands.</p><p>A lot of <strong>authorities</strong> on the subject say an immediate profit should be made from your music, others say keep the barn door shut for a little while. I have to add the ones who say sell, sell sell like a Money dealer on uppers are part of independant record labels<img title="Yell" src="http://www.mixposure.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif" border="0" alt="Yell" />.</p><p>One comment I found was to sell your music on one site and have for free on another! To me this is a little like giving the locals a freebie while ripping off the tourists.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any suggestions?</p>
