LMAO at what a dumb and ass backwards suggestion this is. Singles on a college radio dosen't sell CD's since peolpe are hearing your music FOR FREE, so why pay you for it - not to mention the fact that they have no clue to get it even if they did want it. You make it sound like you're gonna go door to door at the dorms like "yo my songs on the radio rigt now, you want to buy my CD?" Doing a show JUST to sell CD's = skrait up retarded. Selling CD's at a show where you rented a hall and all that crap is going to make you piss broke since you'd have NO attendance since NO ONE'S HEARD YOUR ALBUM, JACKASS!! Advertizing like "A rapper you've never heard of in your life is performing here tonight!!" is gonna backfire on the club it self. You got no liquor liscense so no way in shit is a god damn HALL gonna give you any percentage off the bar, since they have none. Stop feeding people all this BS like you know what you're talking about. You disapear every so often, thne come back like "yeah, I jsut toured the world with 50 cent and he gave me a job at the label" and all sorts of dumb bullshit like that when in fact you haven't done a god damn thing, lol. What happened to all this hardware you stated you were gonna buy? Nothing. What's up with the bullshit record label that you claimed you had, but was named after an existing record label? LMAO, right. I know you're not making any REAL moves since your music is amatuer as hell and your flow is WAY off beat. Get real man. smh..
The fastest way I've ever seen to sell CD's is to get a boombox, get all your albums in a box, get a friend or two and go find a piece of sidewalk in an area where rap is enjoyed (I chose Broad and Market in Newark) and push your music hard. That's exactly what I did and sold my entire first order of 250 CD's in one day. Another way is to do gigs at clubs or spots of that nature, and ask the host if you can sell your CD's after the show, but that's got it's own ups and downs. There's shitloads of ways to do this, but CALI's suggestion would backfire in short time since it's literally backwards.
IF YOU WANT SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE MOVES, TAKE IT FORM SOMEONE THAT'S PROVEN THAT THEY ACTUALLY MAKE THEM!
