Making it to the top ranks online is important and a huge thrill. It is also very profitable, but don’t ignore the offline business aspect of the music industry. It doesn’t mean you have to looking to get signed with a record label. Lots of people enjoy their freedom and love to be their own independent label.

When you do it yourself, you can get your project finished in record time. You also can decide if you just want to publish 1 CD or 1000. It’s all up to you and you have complete control over the situation.
