Nobody is buying CD players hence nobody is buying CD’s. Release a digital album and learn to market on the Internet. The only time you should press CD’s is for live performances and promotional venues. Other than that, all sales should be digital. If you’re album is not selling, you need to put more time into your marketing.
Marketing is simply Search Engine Optimization. This means getting your name to the top of Google and Yahoo searches. It is not easy but it can and must be done. Make sure your webpages are tagged correctly, categorized, include pictures, weblinks, and make sure weblinks open up in new pages and don’t take viewers away from your webpage, etc… It’s little thing like this people don’t think about that kills them on search indexes. It is very nit picky and time consuming, trust me I know. Then put your music online!
