It’s just running on pure desperation and nothing else. People think that if they release a tune at $5 it will take off and get those 15 sales and end up in popular files. The strategy does not work. Desperation does not make you money either.
I had to see for myself too what may happen. So back around November 15, I dropped 5 older Christmas tunes to $5 for just 1 week. I sold a couple of them. One of them sold maybe 5 times that week. I made $5. It was a humiliating experience and I will never do it again. I would have felt better just giving away the tracks to those buyers. What a waste of time.
Either you believe in yourself and your product or you don’t. You are either in business to make money or you are not. News flash: the $5 scheme to hit popular files page will fail you. Don’t even try it. It truly is amazing how much stupidity, low self esteem, and just plain ignorance exists from many authors dealing in this market.
For those who are desperate for any kind of sale or penny earned, and are taking an approach of " I’ll do anything to earn anything" use the exact opposite strategy and move upward…you probably will just earn more revenue and that should really be all you are focused on.
Can anyone here say they’ve had more revenue success by lowering prices? I know many of us, including me, have stated that their revenue went up when they did the exact opposite.
Sorry if people find my comments offensive, I just have to say it the way I see it.
If you do not care about making money off your assets and will take just about anything anyone will give to you at all costs, why exactly are you putting forth time and effort into this business?
