DVDs On Demand (CreateSpace)

Posted by Tyler Gibb
I'm usually a little late to pick up on new things but I found out about CreateSpace.com last week and it looks a little too good to be true...

Back in the glory days some of you may remember that MP3.com had a CD on demand service where you could upload your music tracks and art work and they would take care of producing one-off copies of your CD for customers who ordered through their site. It was a great little no hassle way for independent artists to be able to sell their music with no overhead; my "A Didgeridoo Christmas" did quite well seasonally, but I digress.

It seems that CreateSpace.com is doing the same thing with CDs as well as DVDs and books. And what's more is they're owned by Amazon.com which means that not only can you create your own online store to sell DVDs through your site but your titles will also be available on Amazon.

Is this all too good to be true? Cut out the middle man and sell your videos directly to your audience with no overhead? If anybody has had any experience with https://www.createspace.com please share!

I've been using Createspace ( previously Customflix) for a while now and couldn't be happier. I did a cost analysis about a year ago. While I need to update it, unless you have a garunteed 60+ sales, the DVD-On demand model is the best way to go. Additionally, for those interesting in Festivals, Withoutabox.com has a partnership with Createspace for your screening copies.
