Selling Downloads of Music Versus Hard Copy CDs

Breaking down the benefits of selling downloads of music versus hard copy CDs

Let’s be honest here for a second.

It’s really, really tough to try and top the feeling of having a physical CD of your music – your dreams – in your hands, something tangible that you’re able to share with others and a real proof of all the hard work and effort that you’ve put into making your dream a reality.

Hard copy CDs are amazing in that respect.

But as far as a business model is concerned, you’d have to be at least a little bit crazy to even consider forgoing selling downloads of music versus hardcopy CDs – especially if you want to really maximize all the time you spend creating music and hopefully make a significant income from your talent and your gift.

Here are just some of the biggest benefits you’ll get out of selling downloads of music versus hardcopy CDs.

When iTunes really started to dominate the musical industry it was the death sentence for physical CDs in mostly every way.

Instead of artists getting the chance to cut three or four really killer tracks that would inevitably be released as singles and then filling up the rest of the CD with filler people could finally download only those three or four killer tracks individually – at just $.99 a pop, no less – and save amount of money and time not having to listen to that filler.

Nowadays it’s almost impossible to find physical CDs in any local retail shop, and it’s because everyone has jumped on board the MP3 craze – especially since smart phones are so popular. Combine that with the popularity of streaming applications and it just doesn’t make any sense at all to try and sell hardcopy CDs any longer.

You get to make A LOT more money

The other beautiful thing about selling downloads of music versus hardcopy CDs is that you’re able to effortlessly reproduce that digital file hundreds, thousands, and even millions – or billions – of times without any extra cost or any extra effort…

… Even if you never change its price tag!

Now you can sell a single four $.99 a pop and not have to worry about ANY production costs eating into your profits. Instead of having to sell 8 or more of those singles to cover the cost of designing and producing your CD now all of that profit goes directly into your pocket – something that never would have happened in the past.

It really doesn’t get much better than that!
