Thread Name: Help: Recommend Indie CD Distributor?
Subject: RE: Help: Recommend Indie CD Distributor?
dick greenhaus: Thanks for that. You did a good job of explaining it earlier also.
I recently put up a new web-site having received a steady flow of E-mails from past audiences most of whom wanted replacement CDs. The web-site was just a way to keep in touch and all music downloads are free. However, many still insisted on buying the albums. I'm really just trying to keep the customers satisfied rather than find new ones. From my tracker, I can see between 5 & 10 first time visitors, each day who have searched for me by name. This doesn't include those who have "Linked" in and are mostly folks who have seen me play.
I know those numbers aren't "Astronomical" to the privileged few but I am extremely flattered by them and feel very blessed.
So, I know from what you told me earlier that they're not a distributor and not what Timothy Cameron was looking for but am hoping that they will provide the answer to my problem (then maybe I can take the PayPal buttons off my page)
I'm not sure though, just how much help they would be for those wishing to use CD Baby as their chief marketing tool. Unless people are actually looking for you then they will most likely never stumble across your album in such a huge warehouse.
Thanks again for helping out with this.
I'm wondering what Timothy Cameron has settled on. Would be nice if he could update use, down the road.
Cheers
Jim
