Hi,
This is especially for snoopy but applies to all on this list who are
into creating their own music. One great way to get free promotion
is to upload your music to the Internet Archive and release it under
a Creative Commons license. You still own the rights but it allows
others to download, play, give away and share your music without fear
of being sued. I think your original album, Words of Love, belongs
on the Internet Archive. They will preserve it for all time and
anyone can get it. Obviously doing this would be like giving it away
in that you wouldn't get more money from it but you could still offer
it for sale on CD. If people get to hear your work in mp3 and they
like it, they'll look at your site and buy other CDs from you. Yes,
some people will never buy from you but some will. If nothing else,
it gets your name out there and gives you free exposure. That way
you don't have to sign on to a record company and you still keep
creative control. Here are links to look at. Especially look at the
Audio, Netlabels links on archive.org.
