In the book How
to Make it in the New Music Business", Author
Robert Wolf states that record companies pay 200,000 to get
an artist on the radio. Why? Because it sells records. Go
into any Borders or other CD store and you'll find listening
stations. Why? Because it entices people to buy CDs.
MAKE IT EASY TO BUY
In his book "How
to Master the Art of Selling Anything" master
Sales Trainer Tom Hopkins mentions how you need to make it
easy to buy your product. With the BUY button, your
customer is one click away from buying your CD. I've used
quite a number of players on my site, and this is the only
I've found that had a buy now button (notice the audio arrow
at the top of the page has no "buy now button.")
EASE OF USE
The media manager is unbelievable easy to use. At no
additional cost you can track the number of plays for each
track (great if you're trying to find out what song is the
most popular). Have your songs start up in random fashion
if you're hosting a radio station to ensure all songs get
a fair shot at airplay.
Upload
a song in the demo (login: myplayer - password:myplayer
)

PRICING
ANYONE CAN AFFORD IT
There are NO SET UP FEES, and no long term contracts.
You can get a k-amp player for your site for $9.95 a month
(even less if you purchase a year's worth of service). With
the ability to have one k-amp player on multiple sites. So
if you're in a band, and your friend has a band you can share
the player from both of your sites, and share the cost. Now
you're down to pennies a day for the ultimate audio player.

LEARN FROM THE PROS
In the Summer of 2004 Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, 3 Days
Grace, and Thornly plated a venue in Cleveland. Bands do this
to share tour expenses (less advertising, flyers, etc). They
also do it to cross market. In my case it worked, I
already had the Nickelback CD, but the next morning I went
to the CD store and purchased the 3 days grace CD. Just as
major labels share tour expenses, you can share a k-amp player
with another band and cross market to each other's audience.

REAL LIFE NUMBERS
CD
Baby take $4 for every CD they sell (this pays for shipping
and handling, etc). If you sell your CD for 12.99 the sale
from 1 CD will pay for the entire month. When people listen
to music, it spurs emotions. Those emotions spur people to
purchase music.
BONUS TIP
Make Your Own Radio Station:
With the "Buy Now" button you can do what radio
stations do SELL advertising on your station. Sites like Commission
Junction have thousands of products you can advertise.
Use your affiliate link as the "Buy Now" address
and earn commission on every sale. CD
Baby is the 2nd largest CD Retailer on the Internet (only
Amazon is bigger). You can earn $1 for ever CD you sell from
your K-amp player (IT
CAN HAPPEN ). Use Acoustica
MP3 Audio Mixer to easily produce voice overs and sound
as professional as any "regular" radio station.
Make your own 30 second commercials like the big stations.
