The internet is the greatest way to make money with your Indie music! Here are a few reasons why the internet is such a great vehicle to use to sell your Indie music.
1. You have a group of people who will instantly buy your CD when released
2. You can have your CDs selling with almost no effort on your part, just collect the money and ship the CD.
3. You get more bang for your buck, advertising and marketing wise.
