Increase Your Sales in One Quick Minute with CD Baby’s Link Maker

You may have heard the quote, “You can lead a thirsty horse to water but you can’t make him drink.”  Well, we don’t know much about horses per se, but in the world of indie-music marketing it is truly shocking how many artists aren’t even leading their metaphorical horses to the allegorical water.

After all, people won’t buy your music if they don’t know that they CAN buy it. Time and time again, we see artists forgetting to tell their fans how and where to purchase their albums and downloads. Heck, we’ve even noticed that some very well respected, successful artists have been guilty of this oversight.

When you’re managing your own career there are a million little items on your DIY to-do list, so it is easy to let things slip through the cracks. But this one isn’t optional. Linking fans to your CDBaby.com album page is a MUST. The good news is that it’ll only take you a minute and you’ll immediately see traffic to your CD Baby page go up!
