I’ve been recording music for a couple years now. For the most part it’s been costing me money (funded by other sources).
Recently I crossed 6,000 monthly listeners on Spotify — and I’m wondering how far I can take this.
With modern distribution you can own 100% of your royalties and publishing. But yes, the streaming platforms still have control.
1,000,000 streams earns about $3000.
I’m working to own the means of production (my own studio vs renting studio time), (creating instrumentals/beats vs buying exclusive tracks).
Social Media Content is one way to grow listeners. Other is paid ads. Word of mouth is ideal.
Brainstorm with me.
