Selling CDs off the bandstand is still the most viable way to make money from your recordings. 143 copies a month isn't really that difficult if you gig regularly. A good friend of mine does that, and nearly always makes as much or more from CD sales than from the gig itself. Eight bucks per unit is a pretty good margin. It would almost justify playing for free.
Absolutely Bit. Even if you are a start up, and the cd's you have are not mastered at Abbey Road! Just do it! In the end, the income that it may generate, is better than nothing, and allows you a chance to show case your own material.
Sometimes it only takes one person, that turns into 50 the next nice and 100 the next week. Worth a chance every time!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
