Thanks to a distributor and libraries,
Miss Willow's Fence Row was also The Top Selling CD under
Mood - Seasonal...(we had not checked that category until this morning) for the past 30 days// 7/31/09 (whoops not 8/31/)
*******
*************************************************************
Wy doesn't know this yet...and I don't think he'd appreciate me calling him at 2:00 in the morning grin to tell him... but
I went into CD Baby a few minutes ago..to check CD Sales..and thought I'd try to see if I could find our CD with the new set up...And they have Miss Willow's Fence Row...listed on the front page of the Sub Genre Educational ... Kids/Family ..as A Top Album...And..Under Sub Genre...General Children's...#13 ....


(Well it's gone for now....but for about Two Weeks.....we were)
http://www.cdbaby.com/style/215/all Top Selling CD
http://www.cdbaby.com/Style/504 ....2nd in sales
http://www.cdbaby.com/Top/18.........13th in sales

Hope this encourages...folks...

Hugs to all...

Congratulations Kaley, give a nice feeling I'm sure.

It did...Everett....both of us!!... I did not call Wy at 2 in the morning.... but I did Email him... And like you and others that have mentioned it... I debated saying anything..because it's not exactly a comfortable feeling..posting something like this again....BUT on the other hand it also should offer some encouragement to those who may NOT be live and touring. (granted I am ALIVE grin grin ....)just not a live performer as such.

In any case...thank you!..and continued success to you in your
sales too! (still waiting for my nephew to get married to get your wedding CD)....

best to you!!...

Yep, Kaley's doin' a' hundred.
It's no doubt helping us right now that preperations, buying , stocking up for school opening before too long, is going on, (Sorry for mentioning that to any teachers in the audience <G>)
BUT--take what you can get when you can get it. (That brings to mind, a saying the Iron Workers had when we were working the far reaches of the Missle silos but I won't mention that, being a family show and all, <G>)
GO KALEY!!!
Don't y'all wonder why Kaley has put up with me all this time ?<G>

Hi B...

Hi B!!....I'm not sure what doing 100 means...but I hope that's good!... grin ?

I don't think we've had a hair pulling moment in quite some time grin grin .... B ... (or least none that I've known about
I think we have a successful collaboration..Sometimes, it takes
time to figure out what works and what doesn't..and how each other works... and finding out when it comes to songwriting,
it's about the song.. ...so thank you, my friend!....

P.S. Edit... Wy, I was wrong. It is based on sales. It's
based on the (30 days previous)......

HUGS....and Thanks...B

Awe..Johnny V...Wy and I are absolutely tickled that you are absolutely tickled!! grin thank you. Actually it was quite the team effort... I think 4 of the songs were posted on the forums..and I know we got some good suggestions, especially with Hermit on the Hill...Bobbie corrected the grammar..on that song.. Dawg reviewed Dragonfly off the board..I can remember Grahammy getting excited about Cajun Critter Ball..and offering up ideas..Char who used to post here..reviewed every one of these songs early on...and advised us to keep the theme title off the net and inspired the Empty Nest Feelings song.. Mike Dunbar helped with chord charts on several songs...Linda Adams did our editing..Vikki Flawith patiently did some off the board coaching..Christine Mascott put everything together graphically....Joice Marie and Harriet Ames...reviewed some songs off the board for us too...and Ron Tocknell..(Lone Turtle)
did the artwork for the book I'm working on... Lot of other
folks who don't post here were involved too.. but there were a lot of JPF'rs who helped... like you and your encouragement. Johnny V...... smile smile big hugs..my friend...

appreciate it very much....

After My family gets moved ..I would love to
post what type of things we did...and do...
Because I believe there are lots of opportunities out there for all of us. Sometimes, it's just making yourself(Ourself)
do things and get past the fear of failure..(talking to myself there).

very best to you this afternoon (or evenin? smile smile )
and thank you Magne... That was nice of you to stop.

Dear Joice... Well thank you hon....It was very nice while it lasted ....but it's not there as of Monday... I think if I'm understanding correctly...it's based on the previous 30 day period ..We had a really incredible Mid May through the first week of July sales ....but not as many the rest of July...

Thanks ..very much for stopping by....!

How much can you actually make if you are in the top 10?

Is it a few hundred dollars or more than that?

Just curious.

Dear Nat...Hi hon.... Sorry for not responding here....and thank you!!...
Last week was such a whirlwind.... We moved Monday and Tuesday....but didn't get a chance to unpack ... grin grin well unpacked enough to grab somethings to take to N'ville but I forgot shoes grin ...zoomed about on Wednesday to daughter's doctor appointment...a few odds and ends of school clothes..and jumped in the car Thursday morning and off we went.....

Tink? ...stops in from time to time and I'm assuming she is
writing as wonderful as ever.....

pitching ...I've pitched so few songs....Nat...mostly some children's songs....but am starting to become a bit more confident that others can find a home too... I've always loved
IF and your voice on it! ....and just need to go back and pull up the slightly revised version we did .... I'm hoping to begin seriously pitching...more..... Received some information last week about a gal who helps place your songs with indie artists
and need to check that out to see if that can help some of us...

Nice to see you about....
and thank you!!..

Thanks Lynn grin ....am trying to make myself not speak in dots...
but writing? ...hmmmmm...tis hard smile...

Sometimes, it's difficult to place the albums in sub-genres...
it isn't what's typically seasonal (holiday)..nor typically
educational....but I knew teachers and librarians would be looking in...and thought they might be the best sub-genres...
for selling....

appreciated your dotted response.... smile

Hi Kay-Lynn....How nice of you to stop by... smile I've got a feeling it's going to depend upon your CD and the genre..
itself. Probably a lot of folks in other categories here
posting are selling a lot more at CD Baby....Just in the category
seasonal and educational...we were at the right spot...at the right time!

By the time I saw it....up there... we were sitting at 13th
in total children's album sales... and first in children's
educational...and first in seasonal.... In Physical
CD sales..(not including our downloads or streams)...we sold
about 20cds...for that time period...so...the math? ...10.99...
x sales...minus CD baby's costs...minus a...multiple purchase...
discount of 20%... ( leaves not a whole lot grin ) HOWEVER wink ...we did just sell out of physical CD's at a local children's educational store...and had to restock....so
for us?...not a lot of money, Kay-lynn...but maybe a bit more
confirmation....and we think we have a 2nd distributor...
so...everyone should be sure to check that box at CD Baby!!...

best...
Kaley

Thanks Hugging Stan.....Hoping all is well down your way...and will yet again catch up and see what's happening with the museum
and Stan's Fans..and clocks.... We're going to be going through the same agony of house sale here shortly.... goal is to
get it on the market in two weeks...finish the painting..and
make sure it sparkles as best as possible. The kids and I
staged a few of the rooms before the furniture left...and took
pictures so that at least some of the pictures will look less
empty... We're anticipating it could take a year to sell ...with the market...but hoping one of the gas drillin' folks gets a
5-15 year assignment and likes it and buys it. the northern
tier..is booming at the moment because of the gas drilling..
motels are sold out for a year to renters etc....just hope
there's some buyers too!... smile

and on our cd's thanks..Stan!...Wy and I appreciate it......

Hugs...

Hi Caroline. thanks hon!..There are so many posts...there's no way to catch them all!!... and I have not been doing my share of critiquing or commenting I'll be like a kid in a candy store going back and reading what y'all have been writing! and catch up with my/co-writes......hopefully a few more weeks...get the house on the market and then I'll have some type of a more regular schedule....

thanks for the encouragement Caroline...Keep writing, gal!....
