What the hell does it mean to live off music? I'm about to tell you something I wish I had understood many years ago. I would have saved myself at least 15 years of confusion and pain . Making a living from music essentially means doing one of two things: The full-time artist; Full-time artist support. I've spent most of my life chasing option 1 and failed . Some might say that I wasn't artistically valid: maybe, who cares, honestly everyone can think what they want. Of course, before judging it would be appropriate to understand how the music industry works and that the current business model, both for streaming and live music, makes the profession sustainable only for artists who make stratospheric numbers .
And therefore the Morandi allegory is more albania consumer mobile number list valid than ever: one in a thousand makes it . But all the other 999? Well, I am part of those 999, and to continue dreaming and allow myself to live off music I decided to embrace option 2: offering support to other artists . Table of Contents show From a free Facebook group to a paid membership It was way back in 2017 when I opened the Facebook group “ Social Music Marketing ”. The mission was clear: to share with my fellow artists the achievements I was achieving on social media in the meantime.
Goals that I achieved by applyingto Dario's courses (legendary was “Instagram On Fire” , now Instarebels , which I remember with the same nostalgia with which I think of 80s films ). It was a period of extreme enthusiasm: in a short time I exceeded 3000 subscribers and that thrilled me a lot. In my head, the idea of doing the opposite of what Dario had done, becoming a marketing rockstar , began to manifest itself : well, I would create the Marketers of music. In a short time I discovered the satisfaction of becoming a point of reference for other people.
everything I learned thanks
