Diary Of An Indie Artist - An Introduction (Episode 1)

Hello guys:

I'm so excited for this new project of mine. While I am getting everything ready for my new album release, I thought this "Diary Of An Indie Artist" would be useful for other unsigned or indie artists as myself. I would like to keep on doing videos about different aspects of being an independent artist and how to deal with different things that I (and you) might find in the way. This is my introduction, please, don't mind the accent and my slow pace, remember English is not my main language, so I have to think everything and translate it in my mind before it actually comes out!

Let me know what you think about this new project & don't hesitate to start asking questions and sharing some of your indie artist tips!

@ChristinaBodmer Christina, just answered a little bit of your question in the episode 8. The song takes about a month to be for sale once you do everything, I wouldn't start promoting it until you have a date for release. As far as full songs/snippets, I put full singles & snippets of the album. You're never going to be completely safe of piracy if that's what you're worried about :) Hope this helps!

Hi Irene! Its Christina! I think it's very good that you are going this! I do have a question. I'm sure I can probably google this, but what is the process of putting original music on i tunes? What are the do's and the donts? How long do you think a song should be promoted before putting it on I tunes and do you recommend artists showing the full song on other social networks first or snippets?
