Comment on How to make money as a musician by John

John — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 03:25:01 +0000

It’s pissing me off that everyone an their dog wants to be a “producer”, what the fuck happened to being a musician? Everyone hops onto the newest bandwagon of a genre, expecting to be great by doing the same thing everyone else is doing. No one will remember them in 10 years, wait that’s too optimistic of me, no one will remember them in 2 years.

I love rap music. It’s my dream to someday be producer. Mi familia’s on some tough time though, so it’s hard. People with money usually get a head in life. Though some cats from da hood.

Comment on ccMixter transtions from Creative Commons to ArtisTech: No business model, no thoughts – thumbs up. by go1dfish

Emily has drawn up some prospective business plans. We have some ideas and general concepts that we think can lead to strong revenue sources for independent artists.

Before being approached to operate ccMixter our business model focused around facilitating multi-level paid fan-club memberships. We still offer these at http://tunetrack.net/ and we expect that at least some ccMixter artists will want to try creating a fanclub.

Beyond that we want to help facilitate the dual licensing of creative commons content on ccMixter (as allowed by the artists), to help facilitate an intent of:

It’s cool to do what you want with my stuff so long as it’s free;
but if you make mone with it you have to share it with me.

CC licenses already well address the former statement, and we hope to enable the latter.

I think it’s a solid plan, but we are not arrogant enough to profess that it’s’ *THE* way for the artists and ourselves to make a living. We’re still just recently leaving a bit of a digital music dark age and I think we just want to help bring about it’s renaissance.

Now I am arrogant enough to say that the following elements are key to the success of any online musician or listener focused music site:

Rich Artwork, Liner Notes and Free Streams: http://tunetrack.net/emilyrichards/releases/one-or-ten/player/ (auto-plays music)

Full lyrics without abtrusive advertising: http://tunetrack.net/bradstanfield/releases/wizard/lyrics/2511-angels-are-crying-acoustic/

Wide variety of download formats, espescially lossless: http://tunetrack.net/emilyrichards/releases/you-give/

Great list. Check out Unsung Hero at http://www.unsungherorevolution.com/ mainly independent artists and regional acts, but appears to have a strong following in the Northeastern part of the U.S.

Good resource for artists.

To get exposure, you should be as many places out on the web as you can. With so many choices, artists should be sure to do the research, read the terms carefully and choose sites where your audience and potential fans are.

Great list, I hope it continues to grow and I encourage musicians to check out as many of them as possible.
