Marketing Women's Music

What do women most need to know to sell more music? If there's a way we can help through our media, we'd love to know.

Getting music onto Cdbaby.com and signing on to their digital distribution agreements is a great start. This gets the music on all of the large companies (I Tunes etc). Though the cross-referencing and randomized promotion scheme does push more people to your music - promotion is still for myself - the greatest challenge. We are up against multi-million dollar ad campaigns. But not to fear - patience and persistence! Many live shows - selling music etc.

I have 2 releases out - I am proud of them - however - I was impatient - and pushed them though without paying super attention to the production quality. If you want radio play the production must be TOP. Radio play gets sales up (CD sales, digital and concert tickets).

Many blessings for the forum :)
