One of the many pitfalls first-time recording artists should avoid is a fee-based marketing scheme widely advertised on the Internet. This pay-to-play con should be avoided at all costs. A legitimate record label will offer to pay you instead of the other way around. They will also provide marketing, promotion and distribution of your work without asking for money upfront.
