How To Distributing Your Music

The music industry is changing and is not what it was twenty years ago. In the traditional industry in order to get your music out to the public it was a long road of agents and labels.  You had to find a talent agent to shop your work to the major labels in hopes that they might like it and decide to market and distribute the work. The chances were far and few since not everyone knew an agent that had connections to get their work on the labels desk.
This has all changed since we transitioned into digital and it is now possible to completely bypass the major labels. Thanks to new technology like iTunes, amazonMP3, and Spotify to mention a few, the way consumers purchase their content is now mostly digital. This allows us to put our music on cloud hosting and make it widely available to anyone in the world. Instead of relying on major labels to distribute out music, it is now available on all major download sites and can be purchased by just about anyone. Site like cdbaby.com and tunecore.com are making it very easy for anyone to self-release their music with out the need of a major label.
If you have copyright protection on your work you can use one of these sites to help place your music in all the major distribution points across the Internet. Now all your fans can go online find your work and buy it with the ease of a click. The best part is that you get to keep almost all the money on sales of your work. Where in a deal with a major label you will only receive fractions of what your music is selling. The industry is changing for the better, and the sooner artist find out how to release and distribute their own work the better off the industry will be.
