Selling your Music CD?

As an independent artist there comes a time when one succumbs to a thought. Did I do the right thing when I released my CD to the public? I am a composer and writer of my own music and there is nothing wrong with this, but in my case when I take that big step to sell my masterpiece the first thing any one wants to know is who am I, where can they see me in concert, what kind of merchandise will I sell at my gigs, how big is my following. These are all good question if I were in a famous band or in search of great fame, but as I said before I'm a composer and writer trying to expose my works. Is it a sin for the public to buy music that is not popular to the big record labels? This is a feeling one gets when trying to sell to a market of popularity. Using companies like CD BABY, Disc Makers, UBETOO are some to name who can help get your music to the listeners ears, but this is no guaranty that there will be sales. The use of facebook fan pages, emails, or sites that you can pay to hype your sound may be of great help as long as they link to the original distributors of your music.What this all boils down to is, if you have music that is pleasing to some ones ears, some one will buy it and pass your name on to others. The dreams of becoming rich and famous does not apply using this method for your CD release. I didn't write this to discourage any one but we all need to know that as a writer I may need to sell my material to the right stars who has the live shows and the following.
