. I've been working on some material for a good while now, and was hoping to do a run of 50 cassettes. I looked through some other threads, and was able to find resources in terms of the production and manufacturing of the release. I just had a few questions in relation to promoting the cassette. I'm obviously not in it for money, but i would like to get people to hear it. I looked through some older threads and acquired some advice, but I just have a few questions of my own. I appreciate any advice that is passed on. I want to make sure the samples are good quality, and also that the ordering system is handy. In relation to promoting:
Is it worth sending your releases to be reviewed? I was thinking of sending my releases to websites/blogs
(altered zones, silent ballet, dusted, foxy d etc...) If anyone had any other sites to recommend, that would be great
Would it be worthwhile sending it to peoples blogs? I've been following some interesting blogs for a while, and was considering sending it to them to promote it. I don't know if this is a waste of time or not???
Is it a good idea to get setup with a distribution company?? I've heard mixed things about the use of distribution. Is it worth the money? Would a distribution company be able to get my releases up onto online retail stores??
Labels: I was thinking of sending some to these, too. Good quality links if they prefer to download, or a nice package if they prefer something physical. Is it worth sending stuff out? Should I send Soundcloud links unless otherwise stated? i.e. we prefer a physical copy
I'm planning on setting up a bandcamp, last.fm page, and a website so people can order from the site directly.
I'd appreciate any advice people have for me, or any other suggestions which I may have missed.
I must emphasize that i'm not looking for economic success/financial rewards, but just my work to be heard.
