This artist Im working with by the name of Mill MAjh is working on an album that will be due release this year...
OK heres the dilemma:
#1Hes local and unknown for now........
#2 Hes spending money on studio time (Someone else is engineering his projects) (this album will cost up to 400+ under 500
The way hes thinking as an ARTIST
He wants to make money off music....hes perplexed........
He says some music you have to give a way for free to get exposure...some of the best ones did it..........he wants to put his ALBUM on datpiff.com thinking it will gain him exposure.........
THE WAY IM THINKINGAS A PRODUCER:
Ok he after all this is said and done.....around 500 will been came out of his pocket for studio cost ok.....
#1 Im telling him....bump ginving out ur album for FREE.....the internet is a vehicle that you can take advantage of and SELL ur album...
#2 I told him he can host his album on REVERB STORE FREE of charge....and SELL it there..6.99 sked me does REVERB get alot of viewers....I said it doesnt matter!, What matters is if you dont promote or have a team to market your REVERB store...........you will not make any SELLS anyway..........THats the same for LIVE mixtapes etc.....
#3 I told him that DatPiff and Live Mixtapes will not be a good IDEA for an ALBUM........because your giving away a PRODUCT that is suppose to be sold! (If he was doing a mixtape that wud be differemt) So thats why I think those sites are not a great idea.....
#4 He said but It wont hurt to host it on those sites.........I told him...if the album is hosted on those sites...WHY wud people go to ur REVERB store to BUY it if they can get it for FREE some place else.........
Thats like contradicting...Thats Like Lil Wayne having THE CARTER 4 on livemixtapes for FREE and WALMART for 9.99!!!!
#5....Hes worried about publishing and Publishing companies and ways to get paid off music that only someone actually under contract or independent or major would have to worry aobut.........
#6...He isnt signed...He wnts to be independent and start his own label.......So Im thinking since you aint on papers you would =nt have to worry.....about all this MAJOR stuf that youre worrying about...TAKE IT STEP AT TIME
I think the ONLY THING HE NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT NOW to generate money form this is selling his album HAND to HAND......GETTING A MANAGER so he can start getting GIGs that willl eventually pay him........and SELLING his album online in the reverb store........
SO AM I WRONG FOR THINKING THIS?
