MadeLoud.com

I just threw together a profile on MadeLoud.com (see it here).

I came across the site in a google search for "independent music forums".

They offer mp3 sales directly through the site, paying out every 15th of the month through PayPal (no minimum balance & only one transaction a month so you don't get killed on PayPal fees like you do on Bandcamp).  They also claim to pass along 80% of sales to artists.

Furthermore, they offer a very reasonable option to feature your music in its respective genre.  I was contacted and asked to link to my MadeLoud profile from my website in exchange for being featured for a week.

My plan is to not push this on my contacts / networks, and see what kind of traffic this actually generates on its own.

Stay tuned for the results.

Working on posting some demos on SoundCloud, mainly to get some feedback, see if people like the music, etc.

Here's one work-in-progress that's close to completion:

Constructive criticism encouraged! Also, I'll let you know how well SoundCloud works for spreading the musical word, i.e., getting feedback, gaining followers/fans, simply increasing the number of people who have heard jamesisaMonster, pre-album-release.

Best,

Hey all, first post from james @jamesisaMonster. 

I wish I had started this much earlier; I would have loved to have a personal journal of the recording process behind my first full length album.  Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.  

Instead, this will probably begin as a record of the trials and tribulations of an independent musician trying to navigate the curious waters of the digital music publishing, distribution, and marketing world.  Where it ends up, who knows?  Whatever direction it takes, this blog will journal the thoughts and experiences of the musical project jamesisaMonster.

Stay tuned!!!
