I dunno.
I have little to almost no time to dedicate to making music, like about 2 hours a week. And yet I manage to make a few quid off putting my tracks on bandcamp with zero advertising or whoring myself on social media.
If I was a younger man, with more time, energy and enthusiasm, I reckon I could probably do pretty well with a fair bit of hard work and practice. You see, at the minute, the tracks I’m putting out represent an hour, maybe two hours work in between changing nappies. Imagine if I could dedicate four or five hours a day to making music, my tracks would be banging, and I’d have time to dedicate to increasing my exposure.
The simple truth is that, if you want to make decent money out of music, you’ve got to put in the hours of practice and hard work, be that purely making tracks or figuring out how to promote yourself properly (building a local profile or maintaining an online presence, that sort of thing).
However you go about it, the important thing is that you put your own identity into it.
I can’t see how giving some website £20 a month so you can watch “how to sound like X guy” tutorials and download the same sample packs as every other mug is going to help with any of the above.
