Any Suggestions For Those Just Starting To Experiment With 'Free'?

from the and-pay-what-you-want dept

Over at our Step2 discussion site, musician Drew Stephenson shares the story of how he’s about to start experimenting with a “pay what you want” model for his music. Through a series of events, he has a professionally produced album, where he owns all the rights (the label he was with shut down and let him do what he wants with the music). However, he’s asking for some ideas/suggestions on things to do as he kicks off this experiment. Head on over and share your thoughts.
