Hello all,Why would anybody buy a CD when you can do a direct download instead?
While I am not new to Ebay (been a member since '05) my activity has been very limited. I'm one point away from getting a new star though. I'm at 9 now.
Part of my inactivity issue is finances, of course. There are a lot of things I would love to buy and have shipped to my door. I also have an item for sale! One that I could deliver immediately after payment (IF I can figure out how).
First a lil background.
When I first signed up to Ebay I was hoping to sell a pic of my service animal to as many folks as possible. I was trying to raise the capitol to finance my debut album "ScuffleTown Blues". I needed to pay for the mechanical license rights (Royaltys) for some songs I covered.
That Idea crashed and burned. Mainly because folks seemed to think it was a sympothy plea and begging. Can't say that I blame them. The average person, who doesn't need to know all of the circumstances behind the effort, could in all fairness easially come to that assumption. Plus I didn't do a good job of relating my intent.
Fast foward a couple of years and here I am with a CD for sale. The rules of the mechanical license rights purchase allowed me to burn 500 copies of my album. If I wanted to produce more, paying more at that time is allways an option.
To date I have gifted or sold around 120 copies. One of the reasons why much more have not been sold is due to transportation issues and the lack of accessable venues where I can preform and sell my product. I live in a very small town way out in the boonies of the grain belt. Also I am pretty much stuck in my house because I do not drive (legally blind and epilectic. From a Traumatic Brain Injury).
What I would like to do is offer my CD for sale on Ebay. As a "Buy it now" item with multiple inventory and after payment recieved, either allow the buyer to download thier copy or email (probably through "bigfileDOT com") a copy of the album to the buyer.
One worry is how to service the dialup customers. That file transfer could take awhile!
Another concern is with allowing folks to download the full album and preventing that person from sharing the download link with others. probably a passcode thing could fix that.
If anyone here has the inclination and the time to walk me through this project, I would be very appeciative. You'll even get a free copy of my CD! Tho I am sure it is not even close to proper compensation for the effort involved.
Everyone here can get a look at my CD and download samples of the music, including the title track in it's entirety, by following the link in my sig section.
I thank you in advance and hope to hear from some kind soul soon!
Have a great day. :-)
