Shit like this is why people should simply not join record labels as they are simply there to rip you off and why people should focus on self - promotion besides if being a musician is what you want to do with your life you should have more than enough time to develop your career so the idea that you need record labels to help you is simply outdated at this point.
My dad taught me that there is NO money! There is debt. Real constitutional money is gold and silver!! We cannot pay things off free and clear because the dollar is fake, Monopoly money. That’s why we have inflation, shrinking monetary values, and the fed is not governmental, it’s a family owned company created by “The Creatures from Jekyll Island!!
Lord!! Insane! “Just bend right over, and it’s gonna hurt really bad, but you are signed!”That’s what I just understood from this video!! Well explained🎉❤
Yep you're 100% correct... integrity... and pretty much all famous musicians don't have it after they signed that contract... i knocked back a contract years ago because what I had to do to get the fame and money... I'm outta here... and while I'm not rich and famous, I do have my own pride and integrity intact... but that's me, some people aren't happy or content being just small game... but at the end of the day, even the simplest thing in life come with a price, it's just how much a price we are willing to pay... I've been a pro muso for 30 years... and to this day most of us gigging artists are still waiting up to a month to 6 weeks to get paid for that gig we did... I can obviously only speak for my country of Australia... but that's pretty much how it works here in Oz if you get a gig... it's a 4 to 6 week period to get that payment after you did the gig... any other normal job here in Australia is usually a week or 2 to get paid, but the music game is totally different, and if you kick up a storm about it, then you get a bad rep... so you put up with it, to get those paid gigs... like I said, everything comes with a price... and the higher the bar you set, the higher the price and your integrity... it is what it is...

Can somebody / anybody please let me know who/what she is talking about ? Who is Circa? or is it Cirque? etc .. and does anyone have that link pls and thanks??
Read a piece yest how Pete Townsend saw Jimi Hendrix b4 his death & Jimi was 'broke'. Pete mentioned how crooked these music biz folks are unscrupulous, beter informed & will deff have tried to get ALL an artist's $. Happened to the Who & so many others.
Experiment with Power Automate which is basically free from Microsoft, or I know Roboforms used to basically do the same thing. It allows you to automate tasks you would do through the menus, so you don't necessarily have to code at all to create some automation that would at least get rid of the sucky part for you.
LoL so they are just basically crooked loan sharks with a theme of - music industry. Well at least I don't feel bad now for never going after a music career despite enjoying dabbling with stuff for fun. Sounds like a whole lot of no thank you I avoided ha.
Interesting topic. I usually research Google trends for "weight loss" and see celebrity gossip. I like to take interviews where they talk about how they did it and relate it to my health coaching method. It boosts my traffic
This is a great idea if you are a political artist. If you are not consistently political then I would steer far away from talking about anything political or newsworthy.
I really enjoy these guys content I've been following that for years. 75% of the time I agree with them. However, this video makes me start to wonder if Jack is an Android because he doesn't move very much😂
I agree with you that the labels and big companies have not really been profiting and they might be going to zero but they were never the music industry in the first place The music industry was always with the artists going on tours and in 2023 the top 100 tours are up 46% in profit from the previous year The labels might be going away but the thing that always been an artist on the road will always remain
anyone can create a crypto and anyone can create an NFT. it doesn't solve anything, the only people who befit from Crypto are the founders and the largest holders. its legit a scam just make ur own chain and re-create the NFT on your chain XD Just register your own IP to yourself XD Ifu on a blockchain, guess who your making wealthier, not the artist, the Large holders of the crypto. XD every crypto enthusiast is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, (you have to by my tunes tokens, to buy Jhonies NFT, the more people by my Tunes tokens, the more "Value' I make cause I own all the tunes tokens XD XD XD ) as soon as people don't want "Tunes tokens" anymore, your fucked. RIP the value of ur NFT XD crypto is a ponzi
Thank you! This is a video I’ve been looking for, but couldn’t find!!! What’s the best platform to use for gated content? For example, a song that will never be released publicly. What platform would I go through in order for them to download it after signing up for my email list?
You had me until, “You’re better off getting a bank loan”. Hey artists, if you are reading this, no, a bank loan (if you can get even get one for $150k) is not better than a record deal for $150k
@@musicmarketinghow many $150k record deals have you been apart of? Considering first that it is extremely hard for most people to get a bank loan for $150,000, once they do get one, you owe the bank the money back. And the banks have access to every legal procedure possible to get it from you. Liens, debt collectors, property and asset collection, messes with your credit. Labels only collect the money you owe mainly through record sales. Over 95% of artists on Spotify make less than $1,000 a year from their uploaded music. LESS THAN ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! If you were signed to a label with those numbers, a label would simply drop you and you wouldnt owe the money anymore. Now if someone took your advice to get a bank loan and had those streaming numbers, the bank would not care and they would come for every single dollar owed, PLUS INTEREST, and it would ruin your financial history and health in the process. Its horrible advice to tell the average person to get a bank loan. Most people have extreme levels of debt already. It doesnt make any logical sense. Just having money isnt the answer. You need really good music, talented people to help with marketing, creative director, and a beast of a publicist to even be able to sniff at making one dollar back in this industry. I completely understand the sentiment of what you are saying and I know its coming from a good place, but with a good attorney you can easily negotiate better terms for your record deal to avoid some of the common pitfalls that trap artists. Try that with Wells Fargo
But the labels have connections to put your music in the mainstream. Adding it to radios, playlists, putting you on tours, connecting you to industry professionals. Collaborating with other artists in the same label. Putting you on their page. It is IMPOSSIBLE to do this alone. Yes you could get a loan but that's not all a record label does. You are leaving a lot of this out
@@musicmarketing 0. I just saw Fantano interview Logic and he said that a record label makes it much easier. And then I googled what a record label does. They give you an A&R to help you grow. I believe there is a sweet spot and not all deals are bad.
Guys.. i'm looking desperately for a link to your website/services/... 😂... please dont forget to add it, you're making it hard for us to find out more ;-)
@@MrBratkenSolov I agree that it is very difficult (less than 1% success rate) to earn money from the monetization of created music. However, using music as a marketing vehicle for other monetization efforts has a much higher success rate.
Love you work guys. Question - the concept "Breakout material" Keep making content until you strike this Breakout Material. Prove organic traction on two channels before spending money on content ads etc.Question being - What metric defines something as breakout? How many views / likes / comments / shares etc etc warrants something as breakout material? So helpful!
Least accurate use of the word arbitrage I have ever encountered, an arbitrage is an risk free realization of a mispricing among two or more markets. The word you are looking for was “exploitative”
@sunnohh pricing is determined by a free market of participants Pricing in one domain is skewed from the pricing in another domain - in this case subdomains of business to business lending Is arbitrage. Eat it doggie.
If you do the work of inventing an intellectual entity (song, book, etc.) it IS your property. Yes, the Government should protect it from punks who have no respect for the work, and I do mean work, that people have to do, to create an interllectual work. Just because you can steal, doesn't mean you should. His opinions are those of a spoiled entitled young man. Do you ever use your real name ?
@KenTeel It's Kyle Lemaire, and yes I use it all the time. Also, this is a "laws of physics" thing, not a "bad feelings" kind of thing. You design a system irrespective of feelings. Sure, it feels great to call your ideas your property. Maybe the intention was to make everybody feel good. But in only 34 years of life (can you imagine?) I have learned that intentions are bad criteria for decision making - outcomes should be the only criteria. What is the outcome of having pretended that ideas are property? 1. Less than 1% of the capital generated by artistic works has ever made it into the hands of artists 2. Global corporations that are not led by artists hold all the negotiating power, control a crushing majority of the productive effort, and virtually control almost all of the ideas (sorry, property) that have ever been produced. Sick dude, you wanted to believe songs were like Snuggies and now we're all irreparably fucked. Great job.
@@musicmarketing Well yes, I can imagine 34 years old. I was, as usual, making music at 34 years old (as I still am.) The intellectual property thing has to do with work. That word work is conviently left out of your comments. If you work at something, that you create, it's your's regardless of whether or not it's a physical object. Just because a bunch of entitled punks want something for free, doesn't negate the work, nor the property rights, of those who labored to create an intellectual work. Your issue is with the business side of things, and who is in control. Business and property rights (intellectual) are two different things. One has to do with ownership of a work, the other has to do with gate keeping to the media and making money. You are confusing these two things. If I do the labor of creating a song, that IS my property, and is recognized by all rational people. Children who have been told that they are entitled to everything don't like this. Technology has enabled them to steal, so they rationalize, as they steal. That is what you're suggesting. Intellectual property is an advanced concept. Apes don't have it. Everything is physical in their world. They don't have money either. Money is a concept at its root also. We, as humans, recognize concepts. Intellectual property is a concept, and it is base on the work ethic. Now, I don't like the music biz, either. And, I think that shady businessmen in the music biz have abused artists. But, that doesn't negate the concept and the fairness of intellectual property rights. If making money is your only criteria, then Al Capone could be one of your heroes. Afterall, he was about making money regardless of ethics. Yes, the music business has been a crooked business without a doubt. It goes way back, even further than the payola scandals, in radio. You're right. It's a mafia. And they have had way too much control over media. Fortunately, the internet is changing all of that. Regardless of my criticisms, I do enjoy your words and your videos. Thanks for making them.
@KenTeel You have an insane, self-aggrandizing, and decidedly unacademic definition of intellectual property and property in general. Literally nobody, in the history of discussion on this subject, has ever seriously tried to propose that property is tied to work ethic. There is absolutely zero hope of this discussion benefiting either you or me, so I'm going to end it here.
@@musicmarketing Not the ethic... it's the ACTUAL WORK that generates intellectual property. Because it's a concept doesn't' negate the work, nor that it's property. Show a piece of sheet music, where you actually wrote the song that is written on it.
