Side Hustle Spin Off: the NEW street value of content sold via flash drive.

[mailboxpimp]

Ive been trying to figure out a price scale for selling cd's on micro flash cards. I think it makes sense to try o formulate a price scale or @ least get some feed back on what others think because chargeing $2 per cd on a 36gb 64bg, or 126gb micro sc card would be kinda exspensive to me but @ the same time Im not trying to sell my self, my product, access to it, & the exclusivity of the service short.

People STILL pay $5 per burned cd. $5 x the number of cd's you get on just a 16gb flashdrive can push the cost well over $50 with just 10 cd's / albums on it.

To be the most cost effective & offer the BEST value to the customer, especially the ones who actually BUY music from Apple & other outlest like it.

I was thinking about the possibility of charging a set price based on the amount of gbs the amount of cd's/ albums take up.

Ex: 8gb = $20 / 16gb = $40/ 32gb = $80


no matter how you slice it.... its a DEAL! (or maybe not) Value is a perception. Those of us who download music regularly just because we love to collect music, are sitting on a gold mind which requires no real work to produce a return on the investment of our time & effort. Our biggest cost will be the purchase of the micro sd cards. Customers want to be told what to buy & they want to spend their money on what they precieve to be the "BEST " sale.

My only real concern is what do you do about the cost of the sd card? How much do you charge for it? Do you factor that into the total cost of the sc card w/ the music on it? DO you wave the charge simply because you gettting them wholesale & you killing them already with the bulk rate only price point for the sd cards, or do you charge less than or 1/2 less than what they sell for in the store?

When I was selling movies on a 16gb otg flahdrive, I was charging $30 for 10 movies. I never included a fee for the drives cause I know ppl would be coming back with them for more movies, & I brought them wholesale... so it wasbasically cheaper (time/effort/ energy) to just load them on to the drives vs burning them onto dvd's & being stuck w/ movies I cant sell.

Appreciate the effort with the post

People still pay for content.... the trick now is to not allow the consumer to actually own it.
Cd's still get sold in stores, older people still buy cd's, ppl still have cd players in their car....

We are in the midst of another medium format change. New Cars dnt have cd players they have usb ports & flash drive ports....
Can't stop the Hustle.

Thank you.....
Anything is possible........

You goofy for still selling CDs, now you want to sell CDs on a jump drive. Your mindset continues be to CDs. That's goofy.

you goofy & lack reading for comprehension skills.... nowhere in this thread did I state that I was currently selling cds....ppl still do it, I'm not 1 of them. Havent sold a cd in a few years.
However, Bestbuy, target, walmart STILL sell cd's & dvd's.

Tons of ppl still own cars w/ cd's players in them... myself included, mines happens to have a usb port on it.... been rocking out w/ that & making a killing selling flash drives w/ music on it. Micro SD cards w/ music/ movies/ books (audio or ebooks ) is even more convenient for a lot of folks....

You choosing to believe there is no market for the sale of content doesn't mean there is no market, it just means YOU dnt have a market nor see how you can create on.

Content is going to be sold...just cause goofy nigg@rs like you are content with leasing the music & videos you like to listen too or watch. ... better known as streaming.
