FAQs

Who is TheIndieOutie.com?
The Indie Outie was created by ROA Records as a way to market local independent labels and artists to a wider audience and to give a central location for people to find out what the area has to offer besides what's on the radio.

What is TheIndieOutie.com?
Basically it's a site where unsigned artists and independent labels have a larger voice to market their music. Stage one will be set up as an online cd store and warehouse with audio samples and individual band pages with photos. Stage two will include cd reviews, a calendar of events and a message board. As we grow, we will be able to offer more services.

How do I get paid?
TheIndieOutie.com will mail checks twice a month if there are any sales to the address you choose. 

How much do I get?
When you send in your cds, you choose the amount you want to get. TheIndieOutie.com will add a $2.00 service fee (plus shipping and handling) to that amount. 

Is there a startup fee?
No, just think of us as a local record store that sells cds on consignment. 

Will you let me know who bought my cd?
Yes. We will e-mail you customer information on every sale. 

When should I restock?
We want to be able to have all stock ready and available whenever your fans want it so we will notify you when we need additional cds. We will also list the number of cds in stock on the site so you will be able to know how many cds are left.

How long does shipping take once someone orders a cd?
We will ship orders within 24 hours of purchase and the mail takes from 1 to 5 days depending on the destination. 

How many cds can I send?
We'd like to start with 5 cds. If the cds sell well, we'll ask for a larger order.

Can I sell more than one album?
You can sell as many different cds as you have available.

How many audio samples can I have?
In the beginning each album will only have one audio sample. 

Can I edit my information?
Currently we are editing the site ourselves so if you have any information you want to add, please send it via e-mail to admin@theindieoutie.com with your band name and album title.

Do I have to live in Central Florida?
Currently we are trying to focus on the Central Florida area but we are willing to stretch the meaning of Central Florida a little. We are considering expanding to all of Florida but we're still pondering that idea.

Do my cds have to be professionally manufactured?
As long as the cds are new, clean, packaged, playable and undamaged we'll take them. cds in paper sleeves will not be accepted.

Can I advertise my band on the website?
Yes. We offer two kinds of linked ads on our site. (1) Page top genre banner ads that are posted on all the pages of a specific music genre of your choosing and (2) Page side ads that are posted on all pages. Examples will be added soon.

What information will my band page list?
Currently personal band pages will have albums with cover images, a band photo, a band bio, a track listing, an optional audio sample, label name, album description, order link, cd price and any links you choose to list.

What if I don't fit in a genre?
If you do not choose a specific genre from our list, you be listed in the miscellaneous "genre impaired" section.

Do you have an FTP upload address?
Currently we are updating the site ourselves so we ask that you send text and images via e-mail to admin@theindieoutie.com and send larger files on a cd in the mail.  

How many outside links can I add?
As many as you want as long as they aren't offensive. (Work safe)

How many images can I have on my page?
Currently only one band image and cd cover images will be added. 

Will I have a specific address for my band?
Yes. When you send in your cds we will e-mail you your band page address. If you have a preference, please let us know on the submission page. Example: http://theindieoutie.com/mybandpage

How many pages do I get?
Each band gets one page. If you have a label, you can have a label page and a page for each of your artists.

What if I don't have cds yet but I want to have a band page?
Right now we are only listing bands that have a cd. If you have recordings, it's not that hard to get them made into cds (you could even burn them yourself) If you need help finding a way to get your cds made, ask us to suggest some cheap manufacturing solutions.

Can I get my cds back?
If at any time you want to stop selling through TheIndieOutie.com we will send the remaining cds back to you.
