- How Russ Spent $10 On Music and Made $1.5 Million
This is why I say if someone isn’t doing it themselves, don’t listen.
@russ is doing this every single day and has been.
He’s been independent with no fans.
Signed with major radio play.
And now independent with millions of fans.
And he’s saying right now the money is in music ownership.
Not touring.
Not merch.
Not sponsorships.
All of that is ancillary income.
Side dishes.
Side bitches.
Your main is music ownership.
That is the easiest and longest way to get paid, forever.
Market your music so you get paid.
Post daily.
Get on playlists.
Get your song in social media videos.
Go live and discuss your music.
Do what it is you need to do to get your music heard so your intellectual property can get you paid, forever.
I wanna know

Hey Dorian, Do you have any clips about making music for film and tv being an independent artist?
Thank you so much. 😊❤️ Our daughter has massive student debt. I am hoping to help her pay the debt off and get her Hobbit Hole with her original music.
It does seems like a waste of money touring. And bad for you physical and mental health!
He's completely right because I create Google ads for rappers and singers and they'll tell me that they make more now on distrokid than they did when they were touring.
Whats your business email
Noice
@@alakazam5041 hit me up ! I can help you with my Google Ads and add you to my playlist! I get 30K streams a month.
True nice
Yo ima need to link with you on some ads my boy
Been rapping for years...but recently learned about the biz side...feels like a fresh start tbh
This is facts
That part
Same here. Been rapping since high school but I feel like a new artist.
I trying to figure out how that the case, man. How can people want to do something but don't know how to get paid off it. People have had google for 22 years now.
@@Debonair73 I was very young and ignorant about the business side...wish I would've paid attention before...it ain't too late tho! 💪💯
This is inspiring. I always thought you had to tour in order to make money as an independent artist. I never thought I could do it because I don’t want to tour. I don’t think I could keep up with it lol or want to do it. I wouldn’t want to get my fans hopes up like that. But doing the music and putting it out there and chilling at home, I’m all for it.
Labels want you to tour because it’s gonna boost your album sales which is gonna make them more money so if you own all your music that’s where you really benefit. That’s why it’s important to own your masters. That show money go quick
I like when Russ gets in his bag like this 😌💰💪
Dorian! I watch a lot of these industry videos, love what you offer dude! Nothing but gems and love!
Artists are really just entrepreneurs...they get paid after all their employees are sorted cuz their art is their product
Lol this is becoming the Russ channel
Russ got most of the gems
Lol. But he gives the BEST advice
Don't hate we all want to make money like russ
@@mrlofi333 lol not hating, I love Russ too
Sadly, most artists don't drop the kind of knowledge Russ does
love those videos sir! Thank you for that. Cheers from chocolate country Switzerland.
This is the 3rd video I've seen from you, and I must say youngin I'm impressed! And I subscribed the old can definitely learn and be inspired by the youth, keep doing you DG82.
Man am so blessed listening to your stuff.... Man Thanks alot. Jahreign from Nigeria.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Knowledge is power.
he's not thinking about the dependent artists. they have to tour because they dont own their music.
Speak 🗣 that shit. Facts!!! Word !! Do the math. How bunch of jewels 💎. Russ much love my bro. Peace ✌🏾
Great Information!
THIS is ONE of my favorite info's, Russ is dropping here!! Thanks for this one Dorian!!
Yo bless up king i was thinking about pushing some music and been very cautious about being ripped off from any scenario independently or label wise. Watching this vid just opened my mind to the possibility of making it independent in some fashion. I love music and if i can make a dime its all good thanks for the vid
this is great info. Thank you.
I needed this video right as I prepare to drop my EP! You gave us gems and if someone ain’t listening then they dumb-dumb 😂 Subbed to you and I believe in you brother! Thank you for inspiring us and giving us wealth!
This motivational!!!
damn this a gamechanger, thanks for this video Dorian!
I legit watched this video this morning. 😳😊
Bruh when I made my first $10 I was gassed. 😎🔥 I only started my music in April 2020. People have bought some of my songs and downloaded them on different platforms. So I don’t doubt Russ earns a million a year.
Keep at it. You actually inspiring me. I started producing in April 2020, my beats are coming good now, I wanna start recording vocals on them then upload them to social media. But I want to work on my brand and image before I upload anything.
I just dropped on all platforms, and it’s a different game. Hustle and stay at it
actually he earns a million each month at 26 years old, according to forbes.
@@yourstarbucksorder4828 hold up.. I thought Spotify BARELY paid artists???????
@@abelmank they all barley pay, but what I do is whatever I paid to get the music out, I do the math to see when I recoup, for me a single is 640 plays an album is 1040 plays. All up to your distributor
Facts!! Dee. WOOOORD!! This been going on since the beginnings of the Music Industry. Put your music on AutoPliot !
I see touring as more of a marketing tool to build and connect with your fanbase.
facts
Depends, if your just starting out you can get on a college tour and make like 1,200 a show eat cheap and sleep in your car and save your money. By the time you finish you’ve built your fan base and will prolly start making money off streams etc
Facts
1,200 where? 2000 I ask in Greece if I was in us 20.000 a night for sure
russ is the coldest for his business mind for sure...
🥳🥂🎊🍾🎉🥳

THANK YOU!!!
This... actually helped a lot
Dope talk
Great video!
Damn Russ is the truth with sharing game
Droppin' gems...

PREACHHHHHHHH !!!!!! 🤫🔥🏝🍾💯
touring will create those memories for all the fans but damn being able to drop a couple vids and make a couple mill off them???? thats the life

🙌🏾
I’m focusing on getting good at recording and mixing. Next year I plan on learning the business side of things marketing/branding/Content
Salute
💪🏾🔥
Get the book "All you need to know about the music business" By Donald S. Passman it adds more in depth information you will need in order to understand how this business works. Good luck & much success to all musicians on their personal journey.
"Russ Is The Guide" He's Completely Right ✔️ About The Tours and Not Making Enough Money 💰 After Touring and Performing The Rapping and Singing Does F**@#$ck's Up Your Vocals Touring & Merchandise Isn't Enough *RUSS AIN'T NO JOKE!* 👏👏👏
I want to thank you both very much.
He remind me of nippsy russ is a real G his book is the bomb💥💯
BRUH, I had the SAME Vocal Surgery to get a nodule off my Left Vocal Chord. I couldn't record for about a YEAR mane. That was back in 2015.
He making it sound good. This Shit take luck.
Would you recommend to give the publishing part to a Music Library so the songs can get placements on TV, Netflix, etc...?
Dam 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
💎💎💎
I really like this video. My problem is I don't self produce my music, so it actually costs me about $600-$1000 to create one song. This includes things like paying a beat maker, and paying for post production like mixing and mastering and artwork. I know I could learn beat making to self produce, but at age 37 I am trying to focus on putting stuff out quickly
I was in the same spot. I still was dropping a song a month when I was doing that. Eventually you gotta learn how to do it yourself and outsource
Totally
@@DorianGroup82 agreed
These beat makers are overpriced because they don't know business
@@imxrtal13overpriced?
I want to hear my artist Play live!
He's right.
WHAT'S GOOD MY GUY. JUST SUBSCRIBED. YOU HAVE SOME GREAT CONTENT. SO MY QUESTION IS I AM A PRODUCER SO DO THE SAME RULES APPLY OR IS THERE A DIFFERENT METHOD TO GETTING PAID FOREVER?
@7:50 "Really look at who is making money and who is not" -- Dorian
Russ smart af
I agree with russ it's all about spending less and making more.
Been working so hard on my album since I started to you, i will never sign a record deal
How many streams he’s got to have to make 1.2 million from his song cuz I think Spotify etc pay quite low??❤
~💯
He’s so handsome
4:20 this guy actually comming from nowhere lmaaaao
Artist signed to labels make good money off of touring because they don’t have to spend to set up the tour. Imagine spending 2 million to make 3 million vs spending 0 to make 1 million. Each scenario has its bonuses. I personally feel like being independent is still the best route however because you’re in complete control of your destiny.
Russ smart asf
Great video! Do you have a video in which you explain how to setup Facebook pixel?
i can help you setup your Facebook pixel reply with your email if your interested in me helping you.
Just search it on TH-cam. Tons of videos on it. It's not hard
No there's a process, its pretty complex it took me a while to get it down pat.
@@awesomekid8922 It's not that complex but I get it, you hustlin right now, my bad lol
its more expensive for him cause he's basically the label if you signed you don't pay for the tour you keep the bread but the label still makes way more off the music so in this case he's speaking as the label not the artist. everybody can't be their own label tho.
Interesting 🤔
A! Did you see the video on how Sisqo did “thong song “🎵 it got some gems in there u be talkin about
Great minds think alike 🤫
Ima be one of the greatest rappers of my generation 💯 😌 🙏
There's gotta be a service where it makes touring a lot easier for artists
I used think touring is the only way to make good money for musicians 😱 my whole life was a lie
I think it WAS but not anymore
This is simple you own your rights to your music but they don't not to mention touring it to exposure the labels are looking at it in the long run
Your not complaining
This is actually quite shocking
This is content. Real shit. I'm so tired of all this fake bullshit out here. It's such a breathe of fresh air to here someone be honest...SBN RESONATE
Who remembers drake and josh signing a reccord deal in the movie 😂😂😂
Yo, real talk. Artists get those vocal surgeries because they aren’t singing correctly!
i dunno for the rap game probably rock compeletly different world ppl love shows love merch and no you dont need a hotel, theres alot of bands doing well from touring
Where is the full video of russ?
touring is you connecting with your fans , making more fans and marketing for a album
but how to do you earn enough money from streams when ppl don't know about your music, being indie means ppl think you're a nobody or might not give it a chance..
Yea true bro
Merch….
If you have talent people will tune in no matter of you are signed or not.
$$$
What makes more money distro kid or United masters
Where's the original video
Russ mistake was over expending on production. If you start bringing 100 people per show at $20 a tickect thats $2k lets say you do 15 stops thats $30k minus expensive you probably take home $15k in a 40 days period that sounds pretty good to me lol
Tour is the only way signed artist make any money. And all expenses come from their bag
How did russ make it from downloads? Cause 1 mil streams only get you 4k? The details I'm confused on
Would like to know too
@@lindahkiyeng he's got individual songs with well over half a billion streams. Losin Control has more than 660,000,000 for example
That's what I'm saying. To reach 1 million streams in a short amount of time paying less than the amount it would cost to obtain them doesn't seem very easy. We all know putting up your music without any marketing won't make you a penny. Putting together a plan of getting to a million for 2500 or less even seems very difficult. I suppose once you reach those heights though they must keep growing at some point.
Catalogue. He released a shit ton of music over 200 songs in a short amount of time. So while he has hits the whole catalogue streaming in totality is how he makes his most money
ok
Came here cuz the instagram video kept buffering
He don’t use distro is tunecore
What’s the difference between an artist being booked for a show and touring ?
@k r Okay, well i am trying to figure out which one comes with less expenses.
you don't pay anything for being booked , whether indie or not . you make money from touring when under a label but , that's because the label will finesse you in so many ways you won't see the money your music actually makes . but being indie , everything is on you , so setting up that tour for yourself , you'll actually see how much it costs . Russ says he spent 2 million to make 3 million from touring , under a label you could make a million from spending nothing , that's how it's different . but being booked , you're being paid to make an appearance and / or perform , you don't spend anything for that .
What should you do before you put out your first song?
I got a class coming about this
@@DorianGroup82 That's what's up.
I appreciate what you’re doing but you have to understand that streaming wasn’t a thing before like 2010.
Everything has been passed down, and there’s not a specific date where everything shifts.
If everything what set in stone like blockchain does, then it’d probably be more common knowledge but just like in everything in life, the greatest moments happen without our full awareness.
We’re all guinea pigs.
But gladly there’s TH-cam and channels like yours to light up the paths for new comers and past tourers
Wiat, Russ Uses Tunecore not Distrokid.

Just give me one m. Am done being an artist. I needs to distribute my music in a different way. Cdbaby ain't paying my rightfully share.
I’m on CD Baby too, got their publishing services as well. I thought they looked looked a bit more professional than the others, but you’re saying they aren’t paying right?
@@dangusto2596 they do more for artists like get you verified on spotify and apple music. But what I'm trying to say is that... they don't tell me how much streams I got. They just deposit money into my account. We all know every record labels don't pay artists fairly.
@@dangusto2596 how is it using cd baby?
@@eternalafterlyfe It’s ok. I found their site to be a bit more professional and they offered other services to help artists, such as Cloud Master for quick mastering of your song and other means to market your music. As far as payments to artists, I do see that they collect quickly, however they do take 15% of your publishing, because they the ones collecting your revenue from streaming.
I hear ya but touring is where u gain the huge following...and it's fun as hell! But it will eat u haha!
