How To Make Money As An Independent Musician. Episode 1 - an Introduction
One of the most soul destroying things as an independent musician is that we put a LOT of time and effort, not to mention considerable talent, into creating our music, only to find it virtually impossible to make a reasonable amount of money from our art. Scratch that - ANY MONEY FROM OUR ART!!
As well as a promoter of independent musicians (through my website http://www.AtomCollectorRecords.com and associated social media accounts) I am also a musician (https://soundcloud.com/juxtamusic) so I understand from a "boots on the ground" perspective how hard it can be.
The sad fact is that most fans are not willing to pay for music nowadays and would rather stream tracks from YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, etc. Even mainstream bands make most of their money from live shows and merch so they are not even immune!
2018 - The Year We Take The Power Back!
I believe that we are on the verge of a revolution in the music industry and it is all thanks to the blockchain and crypto currency!
Join me as I explain how you can make a reasonable income from your music using a variety of methods.
I'll show you earnings that I make and which activities you should concentrate your valuable time on so you can spend the rest of it making music!

I love your initiatives brother! I will sit down and get myself on musicoin and Atom Collector for sure. Thank you for doing so much extra to help other musicians!
Thank you. I was just really annoyed at all the amazing music out there that wasn't getting heard when all the crap on the radio is brainwashing our youth into thinking that is what music is - grrrrr. So I decided to something about it and now I can't stop! :P
Hey there. I will upvote when my voting power returns. I had a question, what interface do you use to make your posts. I love how you style them. I'm a (retired) musician and have been thinking about putting some music on the blockchain for fun. I like reading your posts as well.
Hi Omi!
I just use the Steemit interface to write my posts using the markup language.
If you work your way through my videos you will find lots of ways to start getting your music promoted on the blockchain and make some money too!
Thanks for stopping by.
You keep pushing it for everyone bro! Rock on! :)
I'm waiting to see what you come up with on here once you get used to it. You taught me a lot about how to help people on SoundCloud and you are one of the most dedicated supporters of independent musicians so I know you are going to do big things!
Nice post!
One question, you have 22 tags in this post right?... how does that work?
