As a home recording musician with a certified 2 sales on cdbaby, I am intimately familiar with how difficult getting exposure is.
I've spent countless hours and one heck of a lot of money trying to get my music out there for the past few months.. Specifically to gain fans- not necessarily to make sales, but just to get the music out there.
I've noticed in this forum at least one member attempting a group Last.Fm station, and that's a good start.
But I'm wondering if there's a way to combine our powers to create a promo label that features home recording artists.. in an effort to really boost our power in numbers to get some attention on everybody.
I'm wondering this, because I do have quite a few resources that can be of help. I am a web hosting reseller, a web developer (PHP), and a designer.. and in my off time I write music. I've already registered a name that I was going to use to try to promote a few friends of mine, called RightCoastTalent.com, and it's sister site: RightCoastScene.com
Although I realize that not everybody here is from the east coast, or even in the USA for that matter, but it might not be a bad start.
Anybody have any ideas or anybody want to join me in this venture? The easy part is getting a functioning promotional website community going.. the hard part is creating the network effect.. but if enough of us work at this, we might be able to make the home recording indie label!
Thoughts, ideas, volunteers are all very welcome. I'm not sure how the logistics would work out, so I'm open to ideas.
