Video by Music Money Makeover Show via YouTube
Are you losing potential fans before they even hear your music? In this video, I explain why selling music directly to fans without a proper music promotion and discovery strategy could be hurting your growth. We’ll examine why putting your music behind a paywall can limit discovery on Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, and other platforms, why streaming and direct-to-fan sales should work together, and how independent artists can monetize fan relationships through exclusive music, merchandise, experiences, and memberships. Discover how to turn casual listeners into loyal supporters without sacrificing your music’s reach.
