Hello, je viens d'avoir la même proposition
Cette fois pour une compil folk tout ça, quelques détails qui changent... Notamment leurs tarifs sont passé à 155 € par groupe
50 cds pour 155 €, super, mais je ne vois pas à qui et comment je pourrais les vendre, surtout que leurs pochettes bien réelles mais moches
J'y crois pas une seconde, je ne connais pas ces gens et je ne sais pas quelle crédibilité ils sont pour faire circuler les artistes. Avec 2-3 relations c'est très facile de se retrouver sur les portails digitaux, je le sais pour en avoir développé un, mais dans la masse ça n'apporte strictement aucune garantie de visibilité.
Tout comme c'est facile d'"envoyer un disque à plein de labels et de radios", je peux le faire moi-même au pire, pour avoir autant de chances de finir à la poubelle. Donc bon...
Par contre je vois que je dois payer, cher, pour mettre sur un disque une chanson que j'ai enregistrée avec mes propres moyens... Donc on va laisser tomber, là

Hi,
I heard your song, “Pencils And Troubles” and I am very impressed with it. We are currently working on a compilation CD titled “Goin Back Home”. It will feature Folk artists from around the world. I believe that your song would be a perfect fit on this project and I would be honored to have you take part.
My name is Brenden Bosmans and I am a project manager with Quickstar Productions, as well as a musician. Quickstar Productions is a company that specializes in designing music-marketing campaigns and supplying digital distribution services for record labels and independent artists. In 2005, Quickstar Productions released its first Comp CD as a way to promote unsigned artists. This CD was extraordinarily successful in accomplishing its mission! Over the years the company has built off that success and perfected a marketing plan to maximize exposure for the artist. Quickstar Productions is based out of Baltimore, MD and is an active member of the Maryland Better Business Bureau.
“Goin Back Home” will be marketed and made available in the following ways:
1. PHYSICAL SALES: You will receive 50 copies of the CD to sell at whatever price you choose. These will be professionally produced, retail ready CD’s. We recommend selling them for $8. That way you can make $400. You keep 100% of your sales. This is a great way to get more merchandise to sell at your shows and also a way to target other fans in your genre. The idea is that when each artist sells their 50 copies, the other artists on the CD will have their music exposed to other fans of your genre of music. Your song will be exposed to
many new listeners.
2. DIGITAL SALES: The compilation will be made available for sale in all digital stores including iTunes, Rhapsody, Wal-Mart, Napster, and Amazon. Your song will also be available as a ringtone that your fans may purchase. You will receive 50% of profits generated.
3. EXPOSURE: The CD will be sent to record labels, marketing, and management firms. Along with the CD, a booklet featuring your picture and bio will be made available so they can learn a little bit more about you. In addition, free promo copies will be handed out at concerts in the Baltimore/Washington area. Quickstar Productions will also promote the album by using MySpace and banner ads.
4. RADIO: The CD will be sent to college and internet radio stations and be featured on various podcasts throughout the world.
5. NETWORKING: Developing a network with other musicians is key to ones success. This comp CD is a chance to do so. You will be provided with all the other artists information before the CD is released so that you can start show swapping with one another, networking and helping each other out
To have your song included on our upcoming compilation CD please visit our website, QuickstarProductions com download the submission forms. We do not charge a fee to be on “Goin Back Home” but we do ask that you purchase 50 CD’s to distribute at cost ($155). This will be the only cost to you. One of the most important parts of this project is getting the CD into the hands of fans. The more CD’s that you are able to distribute the more exposure everyone gets.
Please check out QuickstarProductions com for more info on this compilation. Since we plan to release this CD in the Summer of 2009, we ask that all submissions be returned by July 1st. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you.
Take care,
Brenden Bosmans
