It gives me hope. I'm also looking at the alternative distro channels. I just made my first "proper" release, had 100 CD's made and hand numbered them, and put it up on iTunes & Amazon. I've sold a few CDs online so far, and i'm hoping to see the results from the mp3 stores soon. all told, with mastering, CDs and Tunecore, I have about $700 into this release. I'm not looking to make any of this money back, just for more listeners at this point. Luckily I have a pretty nice day job that makes this possible. Thanks for writing this. It gives me hope.
