lirik lagu how to independently distribute your first album – destra

let’s face it: trying to release your album through a record label is no small task. these companies usually have to deal with dozens if not hundreds of artists on a daily basis and chances are your submission may go unnoticed. there’s also the issue of labels taking a significant portion of your earnings and putting you into binding contracts that may end up ruining your career before it even takes off

this leaves you with one option, which is to distribute your album yourself. many of the world’s biggest artists took off this way and some continue to operate independently, even when offered deals most artists wouldn’t be able to resist. the independence and feeling of freedom that comes with self-distribution aren’t to be taken for granted, but with it comes some work

here’s what you need to know about distributing your first album without the help of a record label

promotion

back in the days before social media and internet advertising was as m-ssive as it is today, artists found it difficult getting the word out any further than their local town. their only options were word of mouth, the local paper, and perhaps a shout-out from the radio. these days it’s a completely different story

it is so much easier to create everything you need to promote yourself to not only a local audience but everyone around the world. whether it be through social media campaigns, a blog, cross-promotion, or the endless other options, utilizing modern technology will help you promote your work efficiently when used correctly

the great thing about advertising online is that you can do it over and over again until you’ve found a method that works for you. don’t just buy ad sp-ce on some shoddy website n0body visits. be smart about the way you promote yourself and you could develop a positive image along the way

cost

regardless of how you do it, you’ll likely end up incurring some costs along the way. the unfortunate reality is that record labels usually get better deals with manufacturers who press albums, as they can do bulk orders more easily. if you want to sell your work physically, be prepared to pay a pretty penny or two

this depends on how you do it, though. records are expensive and more difficult to sell. cd’s, on the other hand, still have a large market and sell faster. simply find a good cd duplication service and see what you can do

distribution

once you’ve gotten a few cd’s pressed, find a way to get people interested. perhaps contact a local music store and see if they’d be interested in selling your cd’s on the low. don’t forget to distribute your music online as its the cheapest and most effective way for any artist to get started. soundcloud, deezer, spotify, and youtube are all great places to start

conclusion

it may initially seem daunting, but distributing your first album is a fairly simple process once you find a way that works for you. just remember that as long as your music is unique and offers something people want, it’ll sell one way or another
