We often receive emails from young people who want to start their own music label. Looking back, Fluttery Records is eight years old label and things have changed since we started. Our ideas and vision have inspired many labels which came after us. They modified themselves in many ways from how they sign new artists to how they communicate with their followers, friends and fans.
To start and run a music label became much easier. Running your own music label still takes your time and it might not be a good life choice if you are not financially and mentally prepared. But what I want to talk about is the positive side of it. If you have time to spare, some money to invest in good people and good music and if you are open to learn new things it might be a good choice.
How technology made it easier? First, it became easy to digitally distribute your releases. It has revolutionized the way people listen to music but still there was a big gap.
How are you going to get your word to your fans? How are you going to get your physical releases delivered to your fans worldwide? This is where Artglider takes over.
We recommend Artglider to anyone who has a label or is thinking to start one as well as people who makes music. And here is why.
– It is easy to create physical products with Artglider. You just log in and create your albums with ease. You upload your artworks and music and there you have your albums on CD.
– It is easy to ship your CDs with Artglider. We don’t go to post offices any more. We log in to Artglider and type the shipping address. They do all the shipping for us.
– It is easy to keep in touch with your fans with Artglider. You can easily import your contacts and emails and send newsletters to your fans. This way you can grow your fan base.
– You don’t have to pay a fortune for web hosting. Their web hosting services for musicians and labels are amazing and affordable at the same time. Also you get your domain names from them (like yoursite.com)
– You don’t have to pay a fortune for mastering. We haven’t used their mastering service for our label yet but we hear good things from the people who are using it.
These are the reasons we recommend Artglider.
