CD Duplication Side Business
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: CD Burning

CD duplication has become a big business today. Young people, especially teenagers are making use of their own CD burners to rip MP3s from the CDs of their favorite bands and artists.  Many big companies also use CD duplication to make backups of their software and other important and useful documents.

Federal agencies on the other hand, are scrambling to define and interpret intellectual piracy and copyright laws as they relate to CD duplication and the industry of music as a whole.  The movie industry is also seeking how they can profit from using CD duplication.  With so much attention being focused on CD duplication, now is the ideal time to turn your home CD duplication hardware into a very profitable side business.

Believe it or not, you may already have everything you need to get your CD duplication process going in the right direction.  All you need to get your business started is a computer, CD burner, CD duplication software, and a few blank CD-R disks.  Contrary to what you may think, it’s that easy to get going.

If you don’t have a computer or a CD burner, you really shouldn’t worry, as purchasing a CD duplication device is actually very affordable.  The cost of standalone CD duplication software has reduced quite a bit over the years. 

Almost all home computers come with internal CD duplication hardware (CD burners) and some sort of duplication software as well.  CD duplication media, such as blank CD-R and CD-RW are very low in price and can be purchased at almost all retail stores.

The market for your CD duplication service or company is going to local bands and musicians as well as small businesses.  Local up and coming bands are often too busy perfecting their sound to deal with the tedious and time consuming task of duplicating CDs for their gigs.  They also lack the money to order CDs from the big time CD duplication companies as well.

The smaller businesses are pretty much the same, as they are almost always unable to financially justify having a technical or computer staff to handle the backup and data storage aspects of their company.  Many times, they will end up forgoing needed data backups simply because they forget all about it.

You can however, solve these common gaps, provide needed service, and earn some nice side money by starting your own duplication service that caters to these types of clients.  By offering a reasonable price, fast rate of delivery, and a quality product, you’ll get many repeat customers and a side business that will keep busy for as long as you want it.
