selling music

[top_driver]

i'm curious as to how to go about selling my music, i make electronic music and want to spread it

It is very hard to sell music these days. Virtually impossible without developing a fan base first. Most musos depend on doing gigs and selling CDs at the show.

Make a video, put it on YouTube and get your friends to promote it.

if i put it on youtube, what kind of tags would most likely get it more views

I managed to sell mine by putting it on sites such as soundclick then promoting it to bits, join music forums and promote (but not spam) yourself.

You could try joining sites such as broadjam and taxi. They charge for submissions to publishers which stops every amateur joining and ensures your music gets heard.

You make electronic music? Drop a cd of your "choonz" at your local nightclubs/bars. I found by adding the name of the pub or the DJ in the track encourages them to play it. People will come up to them to ask who it is by (assuming it is any good of course)

Keep trying. It's a long and time consuming process but it will eventaully pay off. Check out who performs tracks 11 and 17 here to show that it can be done:

Good luck!
