This not only involves finding extremely talented artists with commercial potential, but also setting up contracts between the two, where both parties involved are satisfied with their end of the deal, resulting in an extremely harmonious and rewarding relationship.

The contract between the artist and the label should cover topics such as album production fees and expense budgets, recoverable revenue from ticket sales, albums and merchandise, etc., distribution of music royalties, as well as ownership of publishing rights and profits.

If you plan to establish a record label, you need to make sure you have the resources available to create and manufacture your artists’ music. After all, this is an important part of making money for your label. If you are just a small size label, you can find CD manufacturing plants that will meet the needs of smaller size record labels and even offer rush discounts that come with product packaging and affordable artwork. Nowadays, this entire process can be avoided due to the popularity of digital downloads.

3. Distribution CD

For physical goods like CD albums, you need to get them directly to retail stores and then directly into the hands of buyers. Regarding downloadable music, you should create your products there for websites (like Apple iTunes) that will sell the songs online. Direct selling is another way for a record label to make money by selling your music.

Promotion is another crucial component to generating product sales. The record label uses mass media such as music publications, websites, radio campaigns, live performance tours, and private appearances. You need to understand the actual demographics for your niche and then market that properly. A strong marketing and advertising campaign will improve ticket and record sales.
