Flatboatmen make fast towards dusk near the cotton- wood or pecan- trees. Coon- seekers go through the regions of the Red river or through. Tennessee, or through those of the Arkansas. Torches shine in the dark that hangs on the Chattahooche or Altamahaw. Patriarchs sit at supper with sons and grandsons and great- grandsons. In walls of adobie, in canvas tents, rest hunters and trappers after. The city sleeps and the country sleeps. The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time. The old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife. And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them. And such as it is to be of these more or less I am.

Fans Aren't Going To Pay For Music Anymore. And That's Ok. It’s almost a rite of passage every artist goes through in the modern music industry. The moment he accepts that he will not be able to rely on music sales to sustain his career. That people are not buying music like they used to. And never will again. Just a few years ago it seemed like every artist was passing around articles chastising fans for illegally downloading music. How it hurts the bands. The producers. The session musicians. The labels (well no fan cares about them). The songwriters. And the industry as a whole. We all remember the “illegally downloading music is the same as stealing a microwave from a store” argument. We all bought it. Well, musicians and the industry that is. Not so much. The RIAA sued over 3. We heard of 1. 2 year olds being sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Grandmas whose grandsons downloaded music on their computers were taken to court and forced to go bankrupt. A grandfather actually died while in litigation and the RIAA told his family they had 6. Really great way to win over music’s biggest fans. That’ll teach em! But it didn’t. Sales never went back up. And now it’s reported that i. Tunes song downloads will drop 3. Streaming revenue isn’t making up for the loss in sales for musicians. The jury is still out if it will in the long run. But, unfortunately, unlike sales, streaming revenue requires massive numbers to see significant income. Previously, if an artist had 1. Tunes 3. 0% cut) in sales when a new album was released. However now, even if each fan listens to her (1. Spotify 1. 0 times in the first few months (1,0. You. Tube). Even if she has 5. No matter how you slice it, a small to mid level artist is not going to get by with streaming income the way the numbers work out currently. If we were talking about 5 cents a play versus a half a penny, then maybe. I’ve been a strong supporter of streaming since its inception. I love that it rewards artist for creating great music that fans want to play over and over. There’s much more potential for the long tail. The more someone likes your album, the more she will play it. And you will get paid for every play. Over time, sure, this could earn the artist much MORE money than sales.+ Why Withholding Your Music From Spotify Only Hurts You. Only the artists getting millions of plays are seeing significant, livable income solely from streaming. And most of them are with labels who take the majority (to all) of that income.+How To Steal An Artist’s Streaming Money In 3 Easy Steps. So what are the solutions? You could scream about streaming and piracy until you’re red in the face while fans and technology ignore the noise and move forward (this seems like a legitimate solution for quite a few). OR artists could look to diversify their income stream. Companies are popping up every day that help artists make more money than ever before. If 1,0. 00 “true fans” previously spent $1. CD/download sales, concert tickets and t- shirts and earned the artist $1. What if it was a sliding scale? Instead of artists earning about $1. It may not be that fans didn’t want to spend more than $1. Kickstarter, Pledge. Music, Indiegogo and Patreon have allowed artists to offer high priced rewards/exclusives to die hard fans. Patreon’s model allows artists to monetize these fans on an ongoing basis. Band. Page offers experiences enabling artists to monetize their most die hard fans in creative ways while on tour. Band. Camp and Loudr allow fans to . Fanswell allows artists to easily setup house concert tours to make the most money from a small, but dedicated fanbase. Licensing companies are helping independent artists get high paying syncs on TV and in film and independent admin publishing companies like Song. Trust, CD Baby and Tune. Core are collecting royalties previously only available to those with publishing deals.+CD Baby Pro vs. Tune. Core Publishing (The Full Report) (Ari’s Take)You. Tube is now offering a tip feature on channel pages and Spotify has integrated merch to artist profiles (without taking a cut). We have to start embracing alternative monetization opportunities and accept that the traditional way that fans support artists is over. We need a new mindset. It’s a new era. People ARE valuing artists – but in the way that makes sense to them (not you). What’s wrong with a 2. Pledge. Music exclusive, $5 per video released on Patreon, an $1. CD? What’s wrong with that? The album gets the fan in the door. Gets her hooked. The album is only the introduction. No longer the end game. The album is the gateway. And the album is found on Spotify, You. Tube or The. Pirate. Bay with a couple clicks. And major label artists never made much from album sales anyways. They always had to rely on alternative sources of income (like touring and merch) to offset what their labels didn’t pay them in royalties. Lyle Lovett admitted that after selling over 4. But he’s had a very successful career. Why are people silent when record companies (legally) steal from artists, but raise hell when fans do it?“I’ve never made a dime from a record sale in the history of my record deal. I’ve been very happy with my sales, and certainly my audience has been very supportive. I make a living going out and playing shows.” – Lyle Lovett. So, your options. You can either bitch about the “decline of the music industry”, exclaim that fans aren’t true fans if they don’t pay for recorded music, OR you can get creative, embrace the new technologies that build on the artist- fan relationship, and lead the pack in this beautiful new world full of alternative revenue sources.
