Most artists dont make a ton of money off their songs…but off concerts, shows, events etc. is where the biggest portion of their funds come from. Music is Social…there is no doubt about it. It creates conversations, emotions, and a community. You need to engage the people you want to captivate…and sending a facebook message, or posting stuff on forum boards and peoples walls will just be ignored.
How many of you on here that have facebook…actually read all the stuff that comes through the newsfeed? You may have 3000 friends…but out of those how many actually engage you? How many just hit like on a status and just move on throughout their day. How many of you actually comment something that is useful other than “omg thats so funny” or “LOL i love that cat”
In the end getting a fanbase is a lot like trying to pick up a girl at the bar. Youll probably talk to hundreds…and get maybe 10 numbers…out of those 10 you will be lucky if you get 1 or 2 that actually goes out with you.
Calm down young fella:p I was just making an exaggerated point that some of us don’t want to play in clubs and build a career (or even make money off of it). Some of us already have careers and we just want to share our music.
