Independent artist, trying to get exposure for your project, and create some awareness and enthusiasm for the task force, but also try to make a living with music while you may be wondering - is an idea Better to provide free download of one of your songs on the Internet lovers and / or potential fans?
There are several different styles of thinking in this respect in all parts of the music industry. That is still a matter of some controversy, and others can tell you that this is a no-brainer. What follows is a summary of pros and cons of allowing at least a length songs from CD or EP, or one to be downloaded from the Internet for free.
Pro to allow Free Download:
* You give the current fan base and a means to interact and spread the word about music Q: You made a gift of appreciation to the current mass Q: You offer incentives to current weight and potential fans to buy a whole album would once someone tastes * It can be an excellent promotional tool. You can get setup with promotional cards given away at exhibitions which have a coupon code. And runs a fan Web site where a punch in their code and get free download. So that really feels like they are getting something of value for free.
Sure, you can always offer only streaming music, allowing fans to listen to songs, all without downloading to a hard drive or on an iPod, which will entice, but offering a free download you actually give them more than a token of appreciation and a lot of doors open to new fans. If you know or not, whether encrypted or non-loaded, you think the road may be, it does not take someone who is very tech-savvy to video anyway.
He believes that allowing a free download:
* You loss of income for each free downloads * You are the loss of potential income for each individual person who downloaded the original song with the file share. * This is just the cone ----
So you have to weigh two to see if it makes sense to do a song for free download. Obviously, it makes no sense to provide a complete record for free download. Kind of defeats the purpose of trying to sell recordings, or not?
I think most of the music industry labels, managers and advertising, and will say that probably can not hurt to download free occasionally. Maybe you want to display on a limited basis in the context of strengthening primary, so not to lose revenue on a consistent basis. The choice is ultimately yours, of course - but then again - a once in a while it should not hurt sales and is likely to increase the long term.
