Episode 5 - Some Services You May Find Helpful

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 holidays

Feedback
- read email from Doug Hanna about giving away music
- will do that next time

Things 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
