Welcome to my brand-new blog focusing on indie artists and trying to raise awareness of what we do. I'm an independent musical artist, just finished their 18th CD and doing the usual 'shameless plug, trying to sell copies. I'm interested in discussing musical trends, sharing helpful tips, and networking with other indie musicians.
Some questions I've had include: 1) Have you noticed how hard it is to sell your CD when completed? 2) Why do people expect to get one of your CDs for free? 3) Why do some of your closest friends and family not want to donate to your cause, or support you by purchasing a CD? 4) Are you closer on Facebook to people you went to school with but weren't really friends with? 5) Do you allow just 30 sec. clips of your songs or the full length song? 6) I've wondered (other than the obvious, your music sucks) why visitors to your site advertising music don't even download a song. 7) Have you seen the look on people's faces after their saying "hey, I'd love to hear you sometime", and you cue up a song on your phone for them to hear, and they practically run away?
Let me know if you have seen any of these same trends. I'm interested your feedback.
