Show notes:Welcome back. Happy new year!- Where have I been?- After episode 4 (interview with Randy Chertkow) in September I got busy with a freelance job- Finished up in mid December, then the holidaysFeedback- read email from Doug Hanna about giving away music- will do that next timeThings That Helped Me- not sponsored, just like them and use them- PaperMart.com- great if you sell a lot of CDs- sell CD mailers (roughly $.20 to $.30 each)- Must buy in lots of 100- 2 kinds: single CD and 1-4 CD- for 5 or more CDs I use Priority boxes from the post office- (show stuffing CDs into each)- Endicia.com- previously:- print out address, return address, stuff, stick- take to post office and hold up the line for 45 minutes- now: print one label that includes address, return, and postage- just drop them off at the post office- $15/mo, so only good for high volume- allows you to print postage right from your computer- buy postage which is credited to your account, then deducted when you print- you will need a scale, requires active internet connection- can customize templates and print on various labels- I use Internet Mailing Labels from Staples (2 to a sheet)- (print out test print)- don't need to tape single CD mailers closed with those
