How do you, the music fan, want to download music?

Yesterday I decided to hand the keys to my music store at coreycoleman.bandcamp.com to anyone who showed up, letting people download tracks from my latest EP "Green" for free, with an email list signup required for free download.

I had quite a few downloads, and some people purchased the EP for more than the two dollar minimum by naming their own price.

It may have been my mom. I'll have to investigate.

I'm wondering what you, the music fan, the person in charge of this new music industry, think is the best way to go about distributing music online.

I've created a poll below with a few options.

Of course, I'm trying to make a living here, but I'm open to just about anything, and am primarily interested in providing music people want to listen to, delivered to them in a way they would prefer.

What do you think is the best way for me to offer my music and spread the word to new music fans?

Have other ideas? Cool. Mind posting them in the comments section? I appreciate it.



What do you think is the best way for me to offer my music?
Free 128k (CD quality) tracks, mailing list signup required to download, with the option to purchase (high quality mp3, wav, flac) album (name your own price).
Free 128k album download, mailing list signup required, with the option to purchase high quality individual tracks(name your own price).
Everything (tracks and album) set to name your own price. Free download requires mailing list signup.
Everything (tracks and album) set to name your own price. No mailing list signup for free download.

Do You Want Your Own Song?

Just a quick note. I'll be adding more to this later.

I just ran a fun little contest of sorts on twitter. If people simply replied to me before the time limit, I committed to writing, recording and then sending them a song about them. For Free!

I'll be posting more info about the process here.

Once the songs are finished, I'll post them here.

Stay tuned!!

Do you want your own song?

Get in touch at coreymusicsites AT yahoo and let me know.

Follow me on twitter at twitter.com/coreycoleman to make sure you're aware of my next crazy idea!

Here's a photo of my scribblings for the first song I'm working on for this project.

Twitter Contest - Get Free Mp3's !!

Alright, so I'd like to try something cool.

This is a way for you to get some free music and help me spread the word.

So here's the deal.....

If you tweet this:

New music from Corey Coleman here: http://ow.ly/hNqa Follow him @coreycoleman


I will send you a direct message with a link to download one of the four songs listed on that page. For free!

If you would like one song in particular, send me an email at coreymusicsites AT yahoo with the name of the song.

In order to do this, you will have to follow me (If you're not already) on twitter. I'm at twitter.com/coreycoleman . Otherwise I won't be able to send you a direct message.

Easy!

Feel free to edit the tweet, but just make sure to keep the link and @coreycoleman in there, so I'll be able to track you down and throw free things at you.

Thanks!

Corey Coleman Accomplices - Bandcamp

Breaking News!
2 Items

Item 1:

I recently set up a fan list (The Corey Coleman Accomplices - cheesy name, yes, but fun) where you can sign up to occasionally receive free mp3s of released/unreleased material, updates, videos, and whatever else I think you might dig. But not in an every five minutes "spammy" sort of way.

On that note I don't do "unsolicited" email (other than personal emails where you forward me a funny story about the workplace (perhaps a paper manufacturing company) and I reply with a cute picture of my cat (Basil) or my brothers (let's call them Ted, both of them) and I at a barbecue (In Austria) etc.) So the only way to get the inside scoop is to get on the list.

I encourage you to head over to coreycoleman.fanbridge.com and sign up now.

I won't force you to, but seriously, you probably should.

(and after you do, add me to your safe senders list too)
------------------------

Item 2:

My new music store!
coreycoleman.bandcamp.com

I just set it up with my new digital EP and it's ready to go. You can listen to and/or purchase each track, or the whole album.

The best part..... you get to name your own price. (Yeah, I thought you'd like that)

This is all to make sure I maintain a steady supply of Ramen noodles and guitar strings, so thank you in advance for that.

Anyway, check it out if you get a chance. I'm pretty excited about it.

The link again is: coreycoleman.bandcamp.com

Keep in touch

Corey
