Has anybody anywhere had a good thing happen with CD Baby? These are the distributors for the working stiffs, count the bodies, digital and hard copy stick em somewhere and see who salutes, here’s your check for $7.89 see you next month. I mean, we all know distribution is not Public relations but these cats spend zero on anything they put up there for sale.
I’ve heard so many horror stories about CD Baby’s lack of interest in their clients it can’t all be here say?
Hypebot apparently didn’t think so when they interview CD Baby’s VP Of Marketing Kevin Breuner:
“I always tell artists that they should direct fans to the places that are most beneficial to building their career and making money. It’s important to note, that when I say “fans,” I’m talking about the people that love an artist’s music and want to support everything they do. So if you get an email from my band, you’ll be directed to buy music at cdbaby.com where we make far more money than if we sent everyone to other digital music retail sites.” I bet.
“In 2014, we’ve seen serious growth in revenues to artists from sources like publishing and YouTube. It’s exciting for us to help artists connect with revenue that previously wasn’t easily accessible to them. In 2015, we expect that trend to continue in a big way.”
Hey, maybe if I was the VP Of marketing for a company that just does distribution and couldn’t care less how it sells, I’d be positive too.
