Distribution + No Promotions = No Royalties

Would you buy a car & never put gas in it ? Think about it!! Now why would you get distribution without real marketing & promotions? Every successful indie artist & major artist have a budget for marketing / promotions. Remember scared money don't make money. Distribution is to get your music into the stores. Marketing & Promotions is made to get your music out of the stores. Remember the key is to get paid from your talent. Everyday I see artists royalty statements at 0.00 or 0.02 in sales. As a Indie artist you should be getting paid in many ways. From physical street sales (CDs) Royalties online, Publishing royalties, & paid shows. But remember you can't get paid shows without promotions & marketing. Also, performing at every event in town or out of town will hurt your career. Don't follow what other unsuccessful artists are doing.

Takeoff was the glue’: Atlanta’s rap scene mourns murdered Migos member Zaytoven, Ray G and Justin ‘Meezy’ Williams pay tribute to the youngest of rap superstar trio Migos, who shunned the spotlight to remain a humble student of his craft Christina Lee  @MinaAnnLee Mon 7 Nov 2022 10.41 EST Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email No matter how Atlanta’s music community first learned, on 1 November, that Takeoff had been killed – whether via alarmed texts or social media posts – the overwhelming response was one of disbelief. Not just because one-third of rap superstar trio Migos had died at age 28 from a shooting at a Houston bowling alley, but also because the whole incident seemed so out of character for Takeoff in the first place. “A lot of people are good people but get caught up and do bad things. Mistakes happen – I know that happens in life,” says Justin “Meezy” Williams, who manages rapper 21 Savage. “He’s not one of them. So it doesn’t hit me as somet...
