Playlists To Sell Your Music

So there’s a way to make money on the internet selling music that requires a tremendous amount of work.  What you do is you create different user accounts for yourself on iTunes and Lala and other services and then you make a bunch of mixes and you see these mixes with your songs.

Here’s more information from Music ThinkTank

On the one hand, it’s a clever gaming of the system and you gotta do everything you can these days to make a buck making music.  And on the other hand, it seems like a tremendous amount of work and it seems rather dispiriting and soul-crushing.

And then the voice inside my head proclaims rather loudly, “Sam, enough with this soul-crushing nonsense.  It’s time for you to man up and get your soul-crushed a little bit if you want to make some dough.  Stop being such a nancy.”

These things are all true.  But it’s nevertheless, more fun when someone makes a mix of their own and puts one of your tunes on it and it’s especially fun when they don’t know you and you don’t know them.
