Yeah that is very true, it seems that the fact that you can get lots of free albums on the internet, that means music should be free when released on the net.

And yeah, he is from Lunar, the one in my avatar is from Lunar 2, the best version of him in my opinion. I love the outfit and the clothes in this one, really original looking too.
If you know Lunar, i tell you, play the japanese version of it on the PSX. The English one has got TERRIBLE voice acting, to the point that i almost hated the game after playing the English version.

 

Since the Apple Cloud hack (celeb porn from their iPhones) in 2013 or so, major labels don't store the finished product in the cloud if they are savvy.
So my money would be on "an industry insider".

Doesn't make sense as sentence.

 

I always treated music only as a hobby, even though I managed to make a few bucks for it! But my sister is more serious about it, she even started successfully promoting her songs. It all started with trivial videos on YouTube, where she started gaining viewers, which encouraged her to go further. Among all the tools were social networks with links to streaming services; аdvertising to communities, which is pretty much the same as posting for free. You can use massfollowing - after new subscribers usually grow auditions and likes, but this is a time-consuming process. Another one she switched to was spotify promotion, probably the most popular way now.

Many musicians start by performing at local gigs, selling their music online, or even offering music lessons. Don't be discouraged if you haven't made money from your music yet; it's a journey, and success can come in unexpected ways. Now, if you're interested in exploring additional income opportunities, I recommend checking out the world of best side hustles. These side gigs can complement your music endeavors and provide you with extra cash. Whether it's freelancing, gig work, or online businesses, there are plenty of options to explore.

I made some money, but also gave me lots of pussy (maybe more valuable than money).

 

Pussy?

 

years ago i made a cover of clint mansell's lux aeterna, the vj that did visuals at my gigs at that time had 2 cats that would start running in circles when she played it.

 

That's (as I believe cats say) lit.

 

Cats love fish
Fish love water
Water loves a container
One kind of container is a pussy
Pussy loves a musician
Musician values pussy over money
Money is less valuable than pussy
Pussy cat, pussycat I love you!

 

Tom Jones deflowered Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) as a teen and sent her to the hospital with vaginal lacerations. True story.

Wait, what is this thread about?

 

I remember that band. They used to play a show every 28 days.

 

Making money from music, anything else is gravy (my post will disappear in 3...2...1....poof).

I've made money from gigging, as a sound engineer, as a composer and as a teacher. Ain't got no gold records on the wall.

 

May I ask more about the teaching?

 

I'll teach you to be happy!

 

nope, not good enough !
and anyway, even if that wasn't the case, I wouldn't be able to. Music is free in my mind. Selling vinyls or performances are something else. But digital music, never.

 

Promoting your music when you have very little online friends and no IRL friends whatsoever is tough.

I always get very positive feedback when I post my music on youtube or reddit, but I have no clue how to monetise it.

Well, I am an 18 y/o who's simply clueless at times...

 

Why should I? No one pays for music these days!

 

Hard top make money from music when you don't have any Friends or life

 

I can't wait to make my first zillion. then i have a plan to hire some ghostwriters and a big producer or two to make my second zillion.

 

Can really defend Tom but they were throwing their underwear at him.
