CD Sales & Jamendo
I wanted to let people know how things have gone so far, as far as my record selling goes. Well, I’ve sold about as many as I’d expected, it makes me happy to know that there are even a few people out there who like it and want to listen to it enough to support me. So I appeciate that. Speaking of which, something that’s been very uplifting of late is that there have been a number of people looking at my work on a site called Jamendo and I’ve been getting very kind words from them, so I’d like to say thanks for that also. Jamendo works with the creative commons license by the way.
Now, I understand that since I’m actually giving my music away for free, the motivation to buy it slightly diminishes, so that makes sense. But, if you would like to help me, there is something I would find very helpful; that is, if you were to tell your friends about my music, or, if someone’s into being creative and making videos, then if they made a music video I’d be very grateful for that. I mean, I’ve had some ideas myself, but unless I have a team of cartoonists, or one very dedicated one, I doubt I could pull it off.

Hallo.
I first discovered you on Jamendo and I just wanted to say I like your work.Its incredible.
OK anyway,I’ve got an idea about music videos.Perhaps you could approach an art school and form a collaboration with the students there?
hey, i found you on jamendo originally, and i’m able to do music videos. if you send me some ideas and footage, i might be able to help. what were you thinking video wise anyways.
by the way, i’d do the video for free, so if it sucks, you don’t pay me, and if you wanna keep it you don’t pay me. either way, i get experience, and you get a free video. what do you say? email me or message my jamendo account (danielwheeler)

Hey there,
I’ve also discovered you and your music via jamendo.
I really thing this sort of music sharing is the way to go — musicians are having to rely more and more on old fashioned touring and doing shows to make money. I’ve heard a number of artists on the net or even at the library and subsequently gone to see their live shows.
Well, you can always set it up on jamendo to just have people listen and then they can download it for a fee, no? Anyway… keep up the good work!
Heh, I also found you on Jamendo. I think your album is very good. Don’t worry a bit about peoples motivations to buy. Your music is good enough it sells even when it is offered with no price.
The only music I pay nowadays is free music anyway.
Found your music on Jamendo, and used it for a wedding video.

In case you wanted to see how other people use your music in their creative endeavors as well.
Cheers.
