Selling your music at gigs from your laptops

Selling your music at your gigs.

When artists play live do they sell their music mp3s from their laptops ?

Take a laptop / computer setup to all your gigs with a copy of all your tracks and albums etc.

Setup a point / stall / booth / gig team / invite fans to buy a copy of your music - you should advertise this service on your flyers / tickets.

The fan simply hands over the flash disk / mp3 player / USB device - and gets a copy straight onto the device for a relatively small price within seconds. The artists saves a fortune in CD pressing etc and the fan is happy because they now have your music straight onto their players.

Obviously you have to cater for the various types of devices but flash disk ringtones are becoming very popular - but with a little bit of thought and organisation you could be making more money out of your live events.

You could also offer other tracks / demos as freebies to promote the band.
