[atlantaprog] To the bands of ARIA:

I know that several of you guys are in bands, so I thought I'd ask:

How are you guys promoting your bands online?
What works?
What doesn't work?
Do you even feel like it's worth it to spend the time setting up accounts with these places?

Here are a few places I've tried and the results:


Online CD stores
----------------------
www.cdbaby.com - They seem to be the best. It costs about $35 to set up an account, but we've sold a lot of CDs with them.

www.bathtubmusic.com - Signed up last year, no sales.

www.merchpurch.com - New company, just signed up last week. First 100 people to sign up can sign up for free. It's too early to tell how well it will work, but I've met with the guy who runs it and he does have some good ideas. Plus, it was free.


Places to post your MP3s
----------------------------------
www.secondencore.com - you can post 3 MP3s for free. I don't know how much traffic they get.

www.myspace.com - How many of you guys have accounts there? It seems like everyone is signing up for myspace these days, but I don't know how much it really does for you. we're at www.myspace.com/cobwebstrange if anyone's interested in checking out our page.


There are lots of other places that I've signed up with over the years, but I can't even remember them all (which could give you some idea of how well those worked out). I'd really like to hear about what you guys have found works or doesn't work.
