Folk artists and independent singer-songwriter artist types never did sell much but some scratched out some income. Make a cd, press a bunch, sell them at shows and through any channel they can. Manufacturing how many would be warranted? 1,000? Or forget that, just press 300 and see if you can sell that many, lol! Do shows and house concerts. Does anyone know if it's about the same with that industry, better, worse? Meaning, a 'small-time' artist who primarily writes his/her own songs and hopes to (maybe) pay for the habit and that's about it.


So long as there are dreaming songwriters, there will be services that make money off those dreams. I hear good things about Taxi, but they are in it for the money not to help you get work.
CD Baby, wonderful, if you can sell more than 10 cds. But they still rake in the bucks.
Song Critiquers and Song Pluggers, and Bookwriters.... Home recording gear

The only people NOT making money are the people making the music and dreaming...

Pitching to artists is long gone. Most artists write and record their own stuff or at least take credit for it. Your only shot is to perform yourself and hope somebody sees it...and likes it.
