How to get Retail
Distribution for Your Self-Released or Independent
CD |
One of the most
common questions asked by independent artists and bands
is, “How do we get distribution?”. Here is a simple but
effective way to market your CDs.
In our
ongoing quest to help new artists and independent or
unsigned groups get their names out there and their CDs
available, we're introducing Echorider Metalworks as a
broker for your CD. If you or your band have recorded an
album and are now looking for ways to distribute your
work, you can sign on with Echorider Metalworks. Here's
how it works:
1.
Contact us and tell us about yourself or your
group.
2. Agree to the
simple terms, and follow the procedure for filling
orders.
3. Email us
a jpg picture of your album cover, your description of
the music, and the price you wish to ask for the
CD. There is no charge for listing your CD with
us.
Note: Check the Order page to be
sure shipping from your country is covered. If you think
it will cost more than what we have listed to send out
your CD be sure and add enough to your price to cover
extra shipping charges (If your group is not in the USA,
check with your country's postal service to estimate how
much to add for Overseas shipping)
Our
part: We feature your album cover, your description
of the CD and price, a link to your website, and ability
to sell through our PayPal shopping cart system. We'll
also feature your CD for one month on the first page of
the website. We deduct $1.50 from every CD sold through
our website, you keep the rest..
Your
part: You keep the CDs on your end. When an order
comes in, we forward it to you via email and confirm
that the payment was received. You fill the order, send
it to the customer, emailing us confirmation of when
this is accomplished. We know you'll want to keep your
fans happy, and costs are kept low since the CDs only
change hands one time.
Payouts are also
done by PayPal, so you'll need an account with them.
Every two months you'll receive a detailed invoice and
payment.
And that's about it. Simple eh? If you
have any other questions, drop us an email
