Market that song crazy but also have back up songs ready to go. You should have 50 songs in advance before you begin your rollout. 50 songs is definitely enough to last you for a year
The first thing you should do as an independent artist is to find the money for a good marketing push. If the song is really catching you gotta go out there and do shows to capitalize on it. You really have to get people to want to pay to hear the song in person.
great content bro but this is a bad take, 1. making many songs is a great thing because you will get better as a artist like russ. russ had no fans for years but now he is filling up stadiums and arenas , 2 if you ever drop a hit song you will be able to capitalize by releasing a mixtape and gaining more core fan base
Thanks for watching! Russ is an anomaly because he's the one person that can actually pull that off. If the idea is to live off of music, you have to find an income source. Music doesn't make enough income for the majority of artists to survive. Performing counts as 70-80% of top artists' income right now so finding consumers is the only way to make real money. Famous artists have hundreds of million (or billions) of streams but they still make the majority of their income from touring.
@@qoncertapp you have a point but these days evry artist is going on tour or performing in a festival, so in order to sell tickets and merch you will need day one fans, core fanbase and you cant do that with one song or album. And how are going to do a show as a hit wonder? do 1 song and leave?
@@shaunwehls2864 I feel that. There are two ways to look at it: I'd rather have 1 song and 100 fans than 100 songs and 1 fan. I would continue to make songs but to be a stronger money-making artist, you need more fans than songs. At some point, you have to focus on finding fans instead of recording song after song after song.
If you drop a banger, what is the first thing you can do as Independent rapper?
