Yesterday I discussed how the idea of a record label is dead and how more and more artists see the self-released option as a chance to jumpstart their careers. You may be an musician or band contemplating releasing an album or an EP to the masses, be it in digital or physical format. Before you do this there are a number of things to consider before you do this, the first of which is the quality of the product that you re releasing.

Let’s be honest here, if your product is of a poor standard, you’re not likely to have much success with it. But like Art, Music is subjective and there are bound to be many people around the world who like what you do.
