Re: MySpace music site / Better Idea / MAN PARRISH

2007-04-04 by Man Parrish

Hey Guys,

There's a better idea... I use CdBaby.com. An AWSOME, honest site and service for indie 
folks and unsigned musicians. Its also free.. I've made a few thousand bucks this past year 
from selling my stuff on there. They are SUPER connected with iTunes, MSN, Yahoo, 
AOHell, Napster and tons of other online distribution services. You simply register on their 
website, and send in your stuff [no review process, they take all kinds of music] as a cd or  
CD-R with "home-made" graphics, which is what i did. Sign an agreement that you are the 
rightfull owner and you're in. They have "instant in" to sites like iTunes [which normally 
takes 3-4 months to get "reviewed"] and about 30 other online stores. CdBaby.com has 
deals that bypass all that 'review" stuff that iTunes has. 

They also pay directly to your bank account. I get payouts aprox 2x a month. Once for 
"domestic" and once for "foreign" online sales [like iTunes Europe, etc]  iTunes charges 99 
cents and keeps something like 40 cents. 60 cents goes to CdBaby and they keep 9 cents 
for all the work and accounting they do. You get aprox 50 cents or half. So....When was 
the last time you did a record deal that paid you 50% ?? And it's non-exclusive, [you can 
still do MySpace or your own website like I do]. It's easy, honest and you send in your stuff 
to one place and they re-send it to like 30 different online stores ! 

Their website has all the info, and they have paid out a few million [yes million] so far in 
royalties.. http://www.CdBaby.com

Many online stores require that you are "released". So when you send your cd to CdBaby, 
they stock a copy on their warehouse shelves, which "technically" is a phyisical copy [or a 
release]  The artwork you give them is what winds up on iTunes, so get photoshop 
happy... lol.  Any questions, let me know.... I generated tons income from my old catalog, 
and I'm now compiling a re-mix and "rare tracks" compilation for them.. Gee.. money 
motivates ... lol 

Good luck !

-Man Parrish
