CD BABY
March 10, 2008
Don't you love it when you find out that something you already have can do much more than you realized?
Check this out, and hopefully you will bob your head at the screen and say, "Niiiiiiiice...." in your cool-but-impressed voice.
You know you can sell your entire album as MP3 downloads directly from your cdbaby.com page, right?
But you should also know:
- You can set the MP3 selling price at whatever you want.
- You get paid 91% of the MP3 selling price!
Set it to $15? You make $13.65.
Set it to $8? You make $7.28.
That's way more money in your pocket than ANY other
store can give you.
- You get to know WHO bought your music immediately! Name, email, location, and everything is permanently saved in your account so you can keep in touch with your fans. (No other store gives you this.)
- You get paid the following week, unlike other stores that make you wait up to 2 months.
- Not to brag, but we've sold over $600,000 in MP3 downloads in the last few months, with NO marketing or announcements at all. That already puts CD Baby ahead of Emusic, Yahoo Music, Sony Connect, Verizon, MSN Music, Snocap and every company except iTunes, Rhapsody, and Napster, as you can see here : http://cdbaby.org/stories/07/09/07/3490238.html
- Customers buy your entire album as one zip download, which includes the MP3s, a JPG of the album art, and a text file of song titles, album notes, and links back to your other websites!
- They're regular MP3 files that play easy on ANY MP3 player your fans use, whether iPod, cellphone, Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia, Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.
- The MP3s are encoded at top-audiophile-quality (~200k VBR), higher than iTunes or any other major store.
- See http://cdbaby.com/mp3 for more details.
Niiiiiiiice, huh?

PLEASE PUT THIS LINK, BELOW, ON YOUR WEBSITE, and tell your fans to buy your MP3s here:

the only MP3 store that really loves you
P.S. To change the selling price of your MP3 album,
just go to
https://members.cdbaby.com/
to log in, then click [YOUR ITEMS] up top,
EDIT ALBUM INFO next to your album, and
edit "Basic important album info". All changes are
instant.
P.P.S. Want to see how the MP3-album-download process
works, so you know what to tell your fans?
Temporarily set your MP3 album price to $5,
visit your own page to buy it with your credit card
or PayPal account,
download it to see how it works, and you'll get $4.55
on your next check,
s you would with any other sale.
(Your $5 sale minus our 9% cut.)
so in the end that educational research project would
have only cost you a whopping 45 cents.
Try it!
