How Long Should You Promote an Album? My name is Kelvin, the R&B singer and I have been promoting music for about twelve years. I promoted myself right into getting noticed by a prominent indie label by the name of KBJ Records. I like to think that I have learned a little about perseverance, when it comes to promotion. I do not pretend to know all of the answers, but I will say that I have seen many independent musicians make big mistakes in regards to how long they should promote an album. A major label will sometimes spend as much as six months vigorously promoting an album or single before that album even touches the shelves of any store. So an independent artist should promote an album for at least a year. Why Should You Promote Twice as Long? Well, it is all about the numbers. Major labels usually expose their singles and albums through the use of mass radio, and TV mediums. This allows them to expose their music to millions of people all at one time. When your music is ...

Should You Give Away Your Demo CDs For Free? There has been a lot of discussion over this issue but I don’t know why.  It is a no brainer.  Of course you should give your demo CDs away for free and here is why.  The explanation can be summed up into three words: Hear, Like, and Buy.  These three steps have to be accomplished in this order or you will not sell very many CDs.  You cannot skip any of these steps because it won’t work if you do.  If you really stop and think about it, you will see that most professional mainstream artists are promoted using this model.  #1 HEAR First, let’s discuss the first step.  People have to hear your music.  People will not buy music that they have not heard.  I don’t care how cute you are, how well you speak, or how interesting you may be; not very many people are going to buy music that they have not heard.  This is why you h...

When it comes to CD duplication, image is everything. I am not saying that your CD has to look like Universal Records distributed it, but there should be some level of professionalism used when designing the graphics. Most artists plan to duplicate their demos and give them away to the public free of charge. Artists that give free Cd's away experience a loss of income in exchange for advertising their music, and therefore will try to spend as little as possible when manufacturing the discs. When you are giving away music for free it would be wise to find a cheap audio cd duplication service when manufacturing the discs, but one must not compromise the quality of the appearance of the disc in the process. When people first pick up your CD, the first thing that will make an impression on them is the way your CD looks. Money should not be the only factor that concerns you when it comes to your music. I understand that the most important factor to consider is the way your music sou...

Finally there is a website that has the musicians best interests in mind. The name is http://www.kbjrecords.com/ , and it is one of the only sites of its kind. For years music has been produced by people of all backgrounds, however, most of the people who are producing the music are the unsigned or underground artist that are living off of modest means. So why are most businesses that offer audio cd duplication charging such high prices? KBJ Records believes that this service shouldn't cost an artist an arm and a leg. KBJ Records, provides cheap cd duplication for a fraction of the cost, with high quality prodiscs and graphic prints directly to the cd. Their audio cd duplication service is one of the most effeciently priced and high quality service on the web. To top it all off they are completely wireless, which means that you can upload your tracks to them in wav. format. Why waste money paying for postage when you can just send your tracks to them at a touch of a button. If you ...
