This is a piece of music you deliberately produce for a fan on his/her special occasion free of charge. You will design the jacket and put the picture of the celebrant on it.
The idea looks crazy. The principle here is called ‘cast your bread upon the water’. Remember the Bible says “you shall find it after many days.”
There are many advantages to this. The celebrant may be so excited and decide to give you a car or a huge amount of money.
Secondly, people whom the music is given might start calling for their own too or engaging you for their occasion.
It is an opportunity for your music to be in various places.
You don’t need to wait till they call you for it before you push yourself in. Do a track for their children’s wedding. A 3-5 minutes songs for birthday greetings could throw you some big cash. When your fan is having their parent’s burial, do a music souvenir (like 50-100 CD copies based on your capacity). This could yield a bountiful harvest for you in the near future.
Singing is your gift, use it to generate income for yourself. Eagle did not have a parent nor relative, yet it feeds daily with its potentials.
Note: You need to praise God first in any of your production before appreciating the celebrants and his/her relatives.
MAKE MONEY FROM CD MASS DUB
Though it looks as if the era of the CD is gone. The answer is no. Millions of people still use CD players in offices, homes & cars. It is a deception of the devil to say that the era of CD has gone.
The sales of CDs might have dropped due to the recent pandemic but the fact remains that people still purchase and use CD players anytime any day.
5 WAYS TO SELL YOUR CDS:
13. DIRECT SALES
Look for a crowdy junction and negotiate for a stand where you can set up your sound system. Bring your CD player / Mp3 player and connect it with your sound system. When you start playing your music, people would start coming to buy the Cds. Tope Alabi started with this idea in the early 20s. Many people built their house with this useless idea. If you cannot do it because of shyness, hire people to do it for you for commission.
14. CHURCH SALES:
There is a way you can request for a live performance or ministration in churches in your environs. If you approach 100 churches, at least 40 or more may respond. Take your Cds along with you. People would buy them as you minister to them. What God hate is idleness. Some people had tried this idea and found themselves in the UK.
15. FREE DISTRIBUTION:
The cast-your-bread-upon-the-water idea is a way by which you duplicate your Cds and take them out for free distributions.
Go to a big mall, eateries or traffic to distribute your Cds free. Make sure that your name and contact details are on the CDs. the jacket of the CDs caries all yo and if not you are fooling yourself. Before you know it, people would start engaging you for their functions. That is where the money is from.
16. ROAD NETWORK SALES.
Some people had built houses from this dirty idea. Get a car or a bus and hire two or three guys to go with you to sell your music on the road. Get permission to do this in Lagos state. Play your music as you move on slowly and let people feel it, You may not believe what the turnout may be.
