Most other distribution methods for those artists have also been shown to net vanishingly little money. If you can't make money with a live performance, you sure as heck aren't making any selling CDs through a record company.
- DanBC 9y agoHave you ever played live in a band?
- nine_k 9y agoHave your ever been selling music via a label, or via a service like iTunes or Bandcamp? How much, as a percent of sales, did you receive? (Not rhetorical questions, I'm genuinely interested.)
- ZoomZoomZoom 9y agoAs a percent of which other sales exactly? If you mean selling merch and getting paid for the gigs, it's vanishingly small. At least for a band that does live performances. The funny thing is, for a vast majority of bands there's almost no sense to sell their recorded music (in a digital form), only to give the fans the feeling of making a contribution.
