There’s no listening involved in a sale of an album and that’s what the music is for in the first place.
A stream, however, does equal a listen, consumption of the music, people doing with it what you intended it for.
But digging a bit more…if you are still imploring people to buy your album and you don’t have an $100 deluxe package for them to buy, you’re really missing the mark.
See, with everyday that goes by, the person who is going to lay down $10 for your album (even saying that sounds archaic now) is the exact person who will spend $100 on your deluxe package. Because who purchases CD’s or mp3 files anymore? Hardcore fans…So at least go get the $100, or $200 or whatever they’ll pay for a well thought out deluxe package.
If you’re pleading with your fans to buy your stuff because that’s how you need them to support you and all you have is an album for sale, step up.
Even better, step into the here and now. Invite, entice, make it simple for people to LISTEN to your music and then make ready deluxe, bonus, limited edition, hand made stuff for them to spend bigger money on.
