let me be real - i want to make money with my music. i want to allow my craft to give me the financial means to survive.
i definitely have fans and followers, i have you all, and i'm immensely grateful for you all being here. even then, i admit that that's not enough to pay my bills. however, in my case, i wonder how much of my lack of success is due to me unintentionally working against myself
right now i give away most of my music for free - my idea was to first let the lack of cost get my music into ears, to build fans and followers. afterwards, my main goal was to direct listeners to a subscription to access exclusive music and to support me. i have had nearly no success with this, no subscribers, no paying patrons, just one commission and some small purchases here and there, which isn't enough. i certainly have built a following, but this strategy clearly isn't working
i've heard advice from family and friends to start charging for my music. should i start charging a price for my music again? should i force others to pay to enjoy my creations? should i abandon my aversion to marketing and accept it as a means of survival? i really would hate to do that, i grew up in a scene that encouraged collecting and enjoying music for free and that scene is very much alive on NG, but that's clearly not translating into financial success for us creators. who, if anyone, would be unhappy with me putting a price tag on my music? would that in itself harm my success?
what do you all think? feel free to leave your thoughts. thank you so much <3"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:imxi3bux3opszeemzxotkazn/bafkreifrxyk2dwxvxpkf6ebdrdoi34neid5y4s46cghwbvo5rrv27ie74e)
