The Future – The Internet Battle lines can be drawn in this vast market. Smaller labels can have attractive websites for their acts at a relatively cheap price. Hosting of these sites will not be an unmanageable expense either. The smaller labels can promote with banners and not have to absorb
cost of printing and manually distributing flyers and post cards to a smaller scope of potential buyers. The buyers on Internet that can be reached are same as that of major labels.
What about radio over Internet? It is still developing and today would be a great time to develop an artist over Internet. Major labels have no control over stations on Internet yet!! Developing a radio station over Internet is viable option for a small label. The cost associated again with doing so is not prohibitive.
Investigate and do your homework about Internet and promoting on-line. The market is open for smaller companies as much as it is for bigger companies.
