A CD of Music is the output of effortful work. So is a washing machine.

It has a cost - the time and materials put into its creation.

It has features and benefits that will appeal to the appropriate buyer.

The next step is to identify the buyers that will find it appealing for the features and benefits that you are able to communicate.

Online there are a number of sites for making music available for listening/purchase.

At a performance venue, there is a merchandise table making the music available for purchase.

Online or in person, there is still the challenge of getting seen.

Advertising your upcoming performance, or, your online presence, both are activities that seem necessary to successfully increasing visibility to potential buyers.

Advertising isn't free - your time is worth money, and so is the time of someone who can 'work' the internet game for you. I'd ask you to be open to the idea of leveraging the power of the internet to increase the world's awareness of your CD.

CDBaby and Reverbnation are the two sites my CD producing friends use, all with varying degrees of success.

Constant promotion of one's wares seems to be necessary to move ahead in today's marketplace.

Good luck to you!

yours in tune,
