Virtual, Physical or Both? That is the Question!

1

I currently find myself in a conversation over on Facebook with Ben Mack and Warren Whitlock about the marketing of fundraising projects such as Water Connects Us. That conversation seems to have turned into a brainstorming session heading in a variety of different directions simultaneously. Here I'd like to focus on just one of the topics originally raised over there.

Q1. We still have to settle on the best way to distribute "the thing" to anyone who might be prepared to part with a modicum of money in aid of some good causes. Unfortunately talking to even the "punk" end of the "recording industry" hasn't gone exactly smoothly!

Virtual, physical or both is the first question? If solely the former, TuneCore seem to be offering some "attractive festive deals" just at the moment? Does anyone have any other/better suggestions?

I use cd baby to distribute all my music. It costs 35 dollars for an Album and they distribute to a hugh number of online digital stores. They also sell your physical cds but as they are based in America it won't help you very much to sell physical cds in the U.K.

If you think you will sell a lot of music there are lots of people now who charge a yearly fee and you take all the profits. So cdbaby is the safest and the best for a small amount of sales but it's not economical if you sell alot. Also cdbaby have introduced a Facebook store now. If you encourage people to buy directly from cdbaby you will make more money on each cd.
