because I am trying to sell songs to movie directors and movie owners and people that place
songs into TV shows or I am trying to find the right singer for the song.
Music publishers that I am trying to sell the song to don't work on a coupon basis, and quite
frankly they don't care about a coupon because all they want from a song-writer is a quality song
that they know is worth advertising and promoting.
For a lot of business groups including restaurant owners coupons do work.
For a business owner that owns a music song-writing company like me coupons are not the focal point of the business.
If I had merchandising that I did sell I could use a coupon that could be linked to an album of my songs
but I don't have any merchandising right now to sell.
Here is where '"SOLDIERS DO CRY" is for sale at the following link:
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/nedgray2
I have uploaded the song for free on you-tube and many other sites, and the song is for sale
at the above CDBABY link for .99 cents.
A coupon on a .99 cent download most likely will not work especially since I already have
the song able to be downloaded for free so that music publishers can quickly hear the song for free.
What could work for me rather than a coupon is to offer a percentage of my sales to the following:
1. http://www.wish.org
2. http://www.feedthechildren.org
Coupons are a great idea for most business groups; and if I ever get merchandising to sell
and an entire album of songs I will think about the idea of using some type of coupon.
If I sell one of my songs that I did write to a music publisher their company at that point will
make an advertising campaign for the song because that is how part of the music industry does work.
Once I sell one of my songs I lose a lot of rights to the song so using a coupon for me right now
doesn't make a lot of sense but like I said I can use the idea of making sure a certain amount
of the profits I make go to a worth charity group.
