Kunaki + Open House

Go to as many open houses as you can, and write an album while you're doing it. When you're album is ready, cover your songs, and sell them alongside the open house performances. Use Kunaki for printing because it's cheap as ****, unrestrictive, and professional.

Don't bother with the Internet unless you have connections, and can get reviewed on major blogs. Even then, it's better just to build a small local following, and see if you can build from that.

This is speaking from someone who spent the 30 bucks to get an album setup with CD baby, and basically I'm sitting on it because I haven't a clue how to advertise it in a way that will convince people to want to fork over the money(...and I'm charging a meager $6.66)

Al Pacino = God
