A legit chance to make money
 

Within the next 2 or 3 months, I'll be done recording and mastering my album. Considering it's rather difficult to start in the music industry with only compositions of a genre that people have forgotten (classical), I will:

Pay 3$(this may even go up if this works out good) (through paypal) for any album sold through you.


I.E.: You contact me and we make business. You find people willing to buy the album and I give a generous share of the money I make from it.

There has to be proof that you were the one referring the person for the album. You'll get payment as soon as I receive the money for the album bought + proof. (it can be a paypal message or any sort of message sent to me with either your full name or your FFR username)


I am very serious about this, so I'm looking for just as serious people.

Seems like a solid plan, however I know that I myself wouldn't be able to sell shit. If you want my two cents, try releasing your music to the public for free. Sell it to your friends and family for some extra cash, sure, but internet-wise, no one wants to pay money to hear a no-name (no offense by that term) artist's CD. Once you build up some sort of fanbase/following, THEN you can consider earning profit.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

Well with bandcamp.com/youtube you can hear the music before buying it.

So no name or not, if you get a sample of the music and realize it's good, they can buy it.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

i will whore your music out to as many people as i can for free

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

Most people don't even pay for music by popular artists, and if they really liked your music, they could convert the youtube video samples to mp3s. So charging would be completely unnecessary. Try to sell it at local stores if you are interested in making money. I don't know if classical musicians put on concerts...but try getting a gig, or just have the music play in the background at a local coffee place or something.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

How much are you selling it for and if we buy an album, do we get a discount of some sort?

He knows this. This is why he's asking us to actually find people who WOULD pay for it. My brother buys every single song that he owns, even after I tell him he can get it for free, simply because he actually supports his favorite bands. People are hypocrites when they say a band is their favorite but can't even support them.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

this mentality is stupid, people will pay for music if they enjoy it and because they support the artist. if you dont believe me look at radiohead and all the countless musicians that make music off of bandcamp.

i have a feeling that you're the kind of person that, even if they really like a band/musician, would still rather pirate than support the artist by at least buying one of their albums

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

I support my favorite artists by buying their cds at concerts, and show my support by wearing t-shirts. My actions are frowned upon by the people who I socialize with. Also, please don't judge me based on my posts, they reflect my experiences, and not myself as a person.

-on topic-
I wish you the best of luck with your classical album. I'm not a fan of the genre, but if any of my friends are. I'll let them know.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

Depending on how many songs we decide to end up with on the album, the CD will be sold for 11-13$.

So you're getting a pretty big chunk off of it. If you find other sellers, I could arrange for a bonus as well.

I can also sell the CD discounted to distributors (you) if your buyers don't have paypal.

The current songs are available on bandcamp: redblank.bandcamp.com

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

for an amateur artist, 11-13$ is quite a bit.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

I don't really see myself selling it any lower than 10-11$ to be honest.

There are alot of amateur artists I know (who play guitar) that sell theirs at 15$, which is still less than retail price for a physical album.

I see the point you're trying to make, but then again selling an album at 6-7$...I mean what's 10$? It's hardly anything. It's a footlong at subway.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

I will advertise your bandcamp page on my facebook page if you would in return advertise my facebook page somewhere maybe?

htttp://www.facebook.com/Br0wnbread And if I find any classical music fans i will recommend you ASAP.

Re: A legit chance to make money
 

Your music sounds like music for clubs/dancing. I know quite a few people who like that kind of music. I'll advertise your facebook page on my facebook.


EDIT: Hey this isn't bad at all for the genre. Nice job btw
