OK so you went through the long process of recording a demo, EP, or even a full length on your own. Now what do you do?

Well assuming you don’t skip the process of duplication where you get 100, 500, 1000 or more copies of your CD ready to sell, you probably want to get your CD out there.

The first place to start is at your local record shop. Go in and ask them if they sell CDs on consignment. This means that you provide them with a small number of copies of your CD, and they put it on the shelves for a period of time and sell it. At the end of that time, they can request more copies from you and pay you for what did sell.

Sometimes you don’t even have to call. In Seattle, I went to a couple of the locally-owned record shops’ web sites and found the information I needed regarding consignment, either directly on the page, or just through email.

One thing, though, you are still responsible for promoting your release!
