Ok, a simple run down of the needs for an artist to be efficiently promoting their product. The prices are at the bottom of the services needed and if you do the math, you will get the reason for the title of this post!
1. World wide distribution to the major platforms and even physical distribution from CD Baby:
$49 per album as a one time set up fee. This takes care of your distribution and warehousing needs after your production is ready. Find this info here: CD Baby Distribution Deal
2. Royalty collection registration with Tune Core along with top of the line "Publishing and Admin Deal":
$75 one time fee and Tune Core collects all of your performance, mechanicals, sync, etc for you. Find this info here: Tune Core Publisinhg Deal
3. Direct Sales to Fans and Fan Build-up (this is literally the next YouTube in audience traffic searching for new artists). This is a FREE service to set up with "Bandcamp". They do all of the set up and selling of your music without getting involved with distribution. In other words, it goes directly from you (your Bandcamp.com site) to your fans. Use their link in your blog, website, etc in order to maximize sales. Remember that in order to reach the rest of your audience via all of the other distribution platforms, you already have option #2. Find this information on Bancamp here.
You set your prices at options 1 and 3 above.
Now go get a record deal!!!
