Artist Income Streams (Bootstrapping Bands) pscp.tv/w/cowTWDFEWktv…

The final Bootstrapping Bands panel session will be live streamed next Thursday: streamlink.to/BB-DIY-Releasi… Ben Nixon from @PsyenceUK & @YCfestival will be talking about self-releasing with @murphybeat from @Dittomusic, Joel Dipple from @SentricMusic and Hannah Obadiah from @AWAL

More musicians and artists need to realize they are a business. There’s a lot of misconception around followers and numbers. I’d rather have 1000 fans and earn $100k/yr over 100,000 followers earning $1000/yr.

Looking forward to chatting about income streams for writers, composers and producers next week with @indie_mu @TheCarolIsh & @MrDanielFish. If you want to learn more about earning royalties from your songs from @PRSforMusic & @PPLUK - sign up to this stream 💰

The next Bootstrapping Bands music industry panel session will be live streamed next Tuesday here + Facebook + YouTube + Twitch. streamlink.to/BB-income-stre… We'll be talking about all things money and getting advice on income streams you can tap into as an emerging artist.
