You work hard on your music, the skills, the writing, the recording, getting cover art, and where do you go to share all of that hard work? A mega corporation that treats you like a number. You’re livestock. You’re one in the sea of millions. Maybe if you just make another song or a better melody or a dance-y-er groove then you’ll get somewhere. Maybe the algorithm will throw you a bone. And maybe finally it does! You get thousands, tens of thousands maybe even 100 thousand streams…. And where does that get you? You’ll get maximum 350$ if you own all the rights to your song. Good luck paying rent, or buying food. If it seems unfair that’s because it is. You are making other people rich. With your hard work, feeding into a machine that they own. And oh boy do they make a living, a glutinous greed filled living off of it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a way to make money from releasing your music online.
You are a sheep, but you could be a wolf. You could make money from your music, your art. Enough to support not only yourself but a family. You need to take distribution seriously. Your album gets 10,000 streams, on platforms that’s 40$. You could sell your album using services I can recommend for 5$ and make that money with 8 sales. 8. you see what I’m saying? there is money to be made.
I don’t want any middle men between you and your fans.
