Lately I’ve been talking more about how all music careers involve a cost-benefit analysis. Whether a superstar, making a living, or barely making any money at all, every musician must assess and reassess whether it’s worth it to continue, and if so, how.
The bottom line is … the bottom line. All artists need money. Money to create. Money to live. Most of us don’t make much, and have to supplement our incomes. Or worse yet, we’re urged to ask for money from fans, friends & family – people who often have as little as we do.
I gave this a lot of thought, and realized there’s a solution. I called it THE $50,000 MANIFESTO, and published it on social a couple of years ago. To our ears it might sound radical, even outrageous. But it’s not unprecedented. Plenty of countries and eras have implemented it.
So on PODFAST 18, I’m going to read my manifesto in full. I’ll then explain why & how it connects to a podcast about music, and what if anything you can do about it. It’s an episode like no other.
Thoughts? Discuss dammit!
