Internet Music Marketing 101

We all know the CD as a format for distributing the artist's songs is just about dead and if you don't believe that, then don't read any further. For the more open minded, we know that digital downloads are on the rise whether legal or illegal and the mp3 format as a marketing and distribution tool is here to stay.

This is where our site comes in because we are trying to increase the number of legal download sites by giving Caribbean artists a chance to have their own music store on the Internet and the ability to promote, market and sell their own songs online.

While we know that everyone, especially musicians, are not as tech savvy as we would like them to be, we are willing to help and would like you to direct any questions you may have about starting your Internet music store to support@numusiczone.com

We know how hard you've worked to create and produce your music, so why would trust anyone else with you hard work but yourself? You want to be in control of your creative material, keep your rights, your work, and most importantly your sanity. Earn fortunes based on your own merit, the way you've always wanted to.

You know it, I know it, we've all heard of record deals gone bad. Michael Jackson has left Sony Music, The Beatles are fighting with EMI, what makes you think it's going to be smooth sailing for you? The labels business models are based on fresh new talent that they can hype up for one month and try to squeeze the most they can out of you, but what happens when you don't live up their expectations? You either get screwed out of your royalties, or dropped altogether.

There is some good news though, artists do not need the record labels any more. With the Internet as ubiquitous as ever, you can get the same exposure, sales, and much more revenue share from marketing and selling your own songs online. Got some promotional videos? Post them on YouTube, upload your songs here and start promoting your albums web address the same way you would your previous CD.

Hey, we can't guarantee that you'll go platinum on your first release, but we CAN guarantee you a level playing field, whether you take advantage of this or not is up to you.
