Sounds familiar. 🤔
Musicians once had many reliable ways to make a living, but the music industry hasn’t served artists for a long time now. Streaming services pay them a fraction of a penny per play. Touring has become prohibitively expensive. Social media platforms expect artists to give away their work for free, while surrounding it with ads that generate profits for the companies but not for the musicians.
Substack offers something different: independence, ownership, and the ability to earn an income directly from their work. Here, musicians nurture genuine relationships with fans who value their art enough to support it.
