Hi all!
Do you know why all this social media stuff ain't really working for artists?
Cause it's based on either delusional FANTASY (A company you -as the artist- pay generates fake fans and wham! there you have: many many fantasy views and likes- anybody can get that done for them by a company...a dentist, an artist.....but what for? Exactly) or by PERSUASION (add me, like me).
But eitherway there's no real fans!
Few people really care beyond a "likes this" or an "add" BUT the artist spends hours in front of the computer begging for your attention- rather than making records which the artist has to pay for somehow!
THINK ABOUT THIS:
1. Excessive Quantity of music (it's too much), no one can digest as much stuff as there is now. All the: "Check me out, Listen to my new single....Free music! Free downloads, Free free free!"
Do you care?
2 . No because the Internet is mostly (and naturally) "ME-nternet". Unless it's about yourself OR someone already famous, it's really not that important AND YOU KNOW IT (not even girl/boyfriends read your tweets people and even if they do, how are you paying for your next record?)
3. An "add" or "like" and especially a "comment" is very nice but it doesn't enable the artist to pay for the next recording. BUT buying their music is AND by buying the artists music, the artist will eventually be taken seriously! -> Then this internet and all that stuff is great, then- it works for everyone involved; but you really have to spend a little money on the people's art you like.
SO: BUY your music, as that is the only way of true support and nowadays you can directly SUPPORT the artist, thanks to digital distribution companies such as @Tunecore!
Get an iTunes gift card, make an account or buy the song(s) at Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody.....directly from the artist and pay by Paypal......whatever!
Just do it, and if you already are doing it, spread the word to those who aren't!
THANK YOU
