BRILLIANT video my friend :) I totally relate to there being a 'ceiling' on Live Shows (at least at the start)... I've been doing a lot of TikTok Live's lately (which have been working exceptionally well) but there's only so many you can do per week before your voice is shot! 2025 is the year to build my streaming 🏆 Alfie
I've made over 300 songs now, getting an album teaser/trailer ready for my first release, got it mastered in MP3 and WAV formats, updated cover art to proper resolution & quality, added all metadata, and now I have one album ready to go. I've been so busy with other things, but I'm dropping my first album on the 27th. It's a bit of a crunch, and I've had to push back the timeline a couple of times, but altogether I have about 16 albums or so, and there's 8 billion people in the world. I only need a small percentage of them to like my music. I do see big money being possible, though I wouldn't know it as I've been 5-10x below poverty level my whole life, and spent my 20s and 30s wasting my money instead of saving it. I turned 50 yesterday, and now I own a record label. I guess I subconsciously forced myself to make this big life change. I hope it all goes well. I spent my "buy a car" fund to start the label, and my LLC somehow got formed in the wrong state, so I have to mail a form to the IRS ASAP and file an address change with the post office. It will be another week before I can afford to set up my business bank account, but I'm trying to do this properly, to keep business and personal finances separate. I've signed myself to my label by contract, and just need that bank account to send money into. I have a PayPal donation button on my site, but honestly I don't expect anything from it. My meager paychecks are funding it all, but rent is due and I'll be broke til next Friday. In the meantime, I'll be getting another album ready so I can release at least 2 albums at the same time. Since I do nearly every genre and style, I can't let one album represent all my work. All my music is currently free to listen to at www.udio.com/creators/songofthespheres or check out my website GamaheaMusic.com
You’re acting like he said nothing of value, sounds like you weren’t listening. He said clearly in the beginning the hack is to change your mindset. You’re mindset is “I need it now” instead of “I’m gonna reach my goal by building up to it”
@@its1022music I've watched a handful of his videos. A lot of the stuff is clickbait. You want to watch someone that can actually help, try Andrew Southworth.
@@SidAlienTVjvke, Connor Price, Nic D ... are all independent and I'm pretty sure they're doing fine. I know they're the exception but it's definitely possible

The best out there giving you route.
Thanks brother!
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!!! Thank you for all the ways you have helped me and ATLYS. You are the bomb!!!
Do you have a couple of current tv/film sync sites you’d most recommend for unsigned independent artists?
how many here following this advice has accomplished such things?
Thank you, Chris for the inspiration!
My pleasure!
I think I can summarize this video… Work your butt off for many years!

The only person who makes any real money on Spotify is the guy who runs it.
13 minutes and no description of the hack? C'mon man. Quit with the clickbait.

Yeah, long ramble... almost identical to all his other videos. But where is this "simple hack?"
That’s because with music there is no simple hack… The answer is always to absolutely work your butt off for many years and hope that you get lucky.
@@OfJaggedRisings Sure thing. Then why bother having a channel like this? He's just saying the same stuff, over and over again.
10.000 a month as independent artist....... It's a joke, isn t it?
What's funny about earning $120,000 a year from music? You need to dream bigger and maybe change your crowd.
@@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOSBro your winning 🏆 you will be a millionaire you’re not here by mistake I hope my 2025 will be great
@SMARTMUSICBUSINESSVIDEOS yes yes yes.......🤡
