Have You Ever Thought Of Starting Your Own Music Label?

I got an email from an aspiring singer who wanted help in spreading the word about her music. She does have a myspace page. But it did get me to thinking about how one could start their own record label.

Many of the famous rap stars have started their own labels and they do it from the comfort of their own home! Now you may not have to the money to buy sophisticated equipment but you have some good tools right in front of you if your computer is relative new. You could record your songs and put them to CD and distribute/sell those CDs. Besides being a singer or musician you would also be a producer. You could get an internet radio station like mine and promote your own music! You could also create your own podcast for free and promote your own music.
