How do you market your music? Do you rely on digital sales? Sell Cd's Tapes? Diy or pro press? T-shirts with download codes? Vinly? Posters. In the digital age the music is important to make fans, but you are not selling the music per say anymore you are selling yourself. Product endorsements would be great!


yeah w/ ppl downloadin off blogs it kinda hurts sales but if u build a loyal fan base ppl will buy and support still. its good to have vinyl and cds limited pressin some kind of physical product helps. plus most artist make there money from tourin and sellin merch at them showes.

Yeah I don't see myself ever bein able to not work.. Can't stand the idea of touring till everybody is sick to death of me if i ever got to the point where I could do that..

I just work the minimum number of hours required to pay rent/buy food.. Sometimes I think about dealin to support my music habit.. get me a gold plated SP n such :mrgreen: but then there are alot of risks associated...


licensing beats is also good too. for movies , television havent done that yet but i heard u can get decent checks from time to time. but also licensing music to indie labels where u still own the rights to our music. chasin placements on rap albums is whatever nowadays. even if they cut u a check for that beat. so what they spent buyin that beat from u they use as a tax write off and get that some of that loot back end of the year. so u get taxed for that in the end even tho u made a lil something for sellin the beat.
