DYMO Disc Painter – CD Promotion tool for Bands and Indie Artists

On one hand, I think artists who continue to put all their energy into CDs are wasting a lot of valuable time, but on the other – CDs haven’t completely gone away and can’t go away until that model is almost completely irrelevant. There’s still a certain opportunity that’s left in using CDs as a medium to promote and push ideas out to the mass public.

First, if you are still recording to tape cassette or trying to get someone to listen to your music on cassette tape – please stop.

Second, if you are wanting someone to listen to your music on an unlabeled CD – please stop.

Third, if you really want to make a serious impression with your CD and really capture the mind and attention of a prospective listener – get your CD professionally done. I am not suggesting for you to go broke, but it won’t hurt to pay the extra few bucks to get your CD professionally done.

There is a new product that will assist in making your CD’s presentation very marketable and noteworthy. It’s also extremely affordable and seems to work very well (from what I’ve seen). It’s called the DYMO Disc Painter.

• Prints in full color
• Prints on CDs/DVDs
• Prints in 60 seconds
• Software built for PC & Mac
• Prints Directly on Disc
• Only costs $279

So there should be no more excuses. No more looking sloppy when it comes to presenting your CD – yes I am certainly going to buy one and I know you should to. It’s the kind of investment that would be great to have over the next 2- 3 years until, CDs are obsolete. That’s the easy part, but how can you use this Demo Disc Painter to your advantage?

Let’s walk through some scenarios.

• Your band ran out of copies of your CDs and you need to print 100 more for your gig this weekend.
• Your band came up with a new song and you need to pass it around to your listening team, and early adopters
• Your band is releasing a new album and doesn’t want to pay the large fees to get full color printed on the CD
• You know of another band or artist who needs to print full color on CDs. (potential income stream)

Those are four quick scenarios where I think the investment would be worth it no matter how you look at it, especially with the last one being a money maker. There are always bands, artists, and other creative professionals who need to have a high quality full-color label printed on their disc. You can give them advantage of printing directly to disk and deliver it with professionalism. This may be a quick way for you to make anywhere from $100-$200 a day – just by offering your services to others. Search newsgroups, forums, Craig list, Kijiji, and websites to gain a client list and charge them a really affordable fee. $50 for 200 CDs. It’s not only easy to do that, but if you print up 500 copies days (5 hours) then you’ve made $25 dollars an hour and $125 for the day. $125 x 5 = $625 per week. $625 x 4 weeks = $2500

Any “starving artist” I know would love to work from home part time, and make that kind of money. You’re not living lavish, you’re not living like a rock star – but you’re starting to create the opportunity to do what you love… all day and that’s music. Plus you never know who you might meet or what kind of relationships you can establish.

In the other scenario, you’ve got ONE more tool that the major artists have had exclusively to themselves for so long… and that is a visually appealing CD. Take the time, spend the time thinking about how you can use this $279 tool to make it work for your career. It’s only going to be a matter of time until CDs are irrelevant, but in the meantime; makes certain that people get the impression you are a major artist. They don’t need to know how much money you saved!
