HOW TO MAKE 60K PER YEAR AS A MUSICIAN (WITHOUT A RECORD LABEL!)
On todays episode I am going to be demonstrating how you can generate a yearly sales income of £60,000 as a DIY musician. So many independent artists I speak with don’t realise the earning potential a small die-hard fanbase can bring them so I’ve decided to breakdown the process of generating over 60k in revenue from 300 superfans across a year. If you don’t yet have 300 superfans that support & buy everything you put out then I would recommend checking out episode 19 of this podcast where I explain how to grow a fanbase for your music through Facebook & Instagram ads here: https://youtu.be/wrvVlVX-P6E?si=e1m2P--d4Am6Q0VM
