MAKING AND MARKETING YOUR OWN MUSIC CAN BE GOOD FINANCIAL SENSE

Here's is a litle bit of what was written in a recent story about making and marketing your own music. The story comes from the Australian newspaper 'The Sydney Morning Herald'

"Releasing your own album, can be the smartest move a musician can make......It makes financial sense and if you are very careful you can make money out of it, people do lose money on releasing their own albums, but usually because they make ill-informed decisions, like spending far too much money on recordings that don't warrant it."says Stuart Watters, the chief executive of the Australian Association of Independent Record Labels

These words of caution come from Vicky Gordon, head of independent label Rock Sugar Music in Sydney, it can be a struggle to get radio airplay,which is the key to making money. "Commercial success is dictated by radio airplay," she says, "and to get that, the production values of your songs have to stand alongside the quality of the international music being released. But there are a lot of independent artists who have no desire for massive commercial success."
