Very cool article Cameron. For the DIY musician,This is core info to creating and selling your music.

Most Artist report that the iMixes we’ve serviced for them ,brings in an average of $80 in sales a month. So iMixes do work ,if you take the approach outlined here in this article.

I’d like to add that while iTunes allows you 250 iMixes. Go through your mixes and delete the ones that have less than 4 votes and create new ones that are not as effective.

Also if you have a huge itunes library. Use the genius feature to automate iMix creations. This can save you time while placing similar tracks together. Then drop your songs in the mix and publish them to itunes.

Thank you so much for sharing this – with my band working on our first full length album I have been trying to find ways to promote without having to mess with a record label-this article was exactly what I needed right now!

I have a question. How do you promote your IMIX on Facebook and myspace. I tried to copy the embedded code and it didn’t work. On Myspace the IMIX playist came up, but it didn’t play. Is the IMIX album there for show or are supposed to be able to listen to it?

Hey Cameron,

Really nice post, it’s certainly an area that is often overlooked, but being right at the end of the music consumers sale funnel it’s arguably one of the most important or quickest areas where a few changes can make a big impact.

Thanks for sharing :)

I am an independent musician who has made no profit for my art. Rarely, I play for free, for people around me. I have chosen not to release my music for 10 years, waiting for the day that the market was fair. Most people do not even know I am a musician. I have continued to update and improve, quietly, but my recent research has me wondering when the right time will be. OR if I am too late to jump on the wagon. For me, it is not about fame, or popularity. I would like to share an awesome gift with alot of people, while I am protected and I am making the major profits, from the work. It seems like this fight, as an observer, has not resolved, starting years ago. Is that time coming, or is it here? Is the new market all independent artists fighting each other for time?
I am interested in hearing what you think about where we are in the big scheme of things.
It sounds like being creative in 5 areas is not good enough. Is this an ever-changing market where there is no clearly defined way to reach your listeners?
Thanks for the info, and respond to any of the questions you have time for. I will take time, later, to read some links. Mike
