Stay tuned for Ugly Nigga's upcoming album..."I Put That On My Life"...(5) songs away from completion. I was talking to Sieed or Balance last week and we was chopping it up...he was like when you finish your album bring it in..."I'll buy it"...but he usually does consignment so I wasn't clear on that part as I reflect back. I told him I'd like to push it...make 12 t-shirt each for all 12 songs titles and put them in the 10 store locations so that's like 144 shirts each store ...so the customer gets a choice of a FREE t-shirt with the purchase of the album. 144 xs 10 stores is 1,440 t-shirts x $3 (wholesale cost) = $4,320.00 on the shirt cost...
So I calculate a $6.00 return from Rasptutins (they do $5.00 for new artists) I'm cutting my profit to $3 x 1,440.00 shirts for a profit of $4,320.00 minus the cost of the cd production $1 pr cd x 1,500 cds/ $4,320.00 - $1,500.00 cd cost= $2,820.00
$2,820.00 TOTAL PROFIT off of 1,440 cd sold...
Now here is where the numbers jump up for the effort...the customer goes to www.uglynigga.com to get a $12.00 refund from the album via PayPal...and A FREE subscription to the Wall Street Journal for 12 weeks via credit/ debit card...ALL orders are processed every Friday and the Wall Street subscriptions are filled out in the Rasputin Stores...for EVERY cd sold with a subscription...the Wall Street Journal pays Ugly Nigga $40.00...so that brings a total of $57,600.00 top side.
The t-shirts will be restocked to the stores as long as they are able to move cd units.
If Jay Z can partner up with a major company in Samsung and make major moves...then why can't Bay Area rap artist Ugly Nigga do the same thing? If the game is changing...why not change with it. Stay DRUG FREE.
