Description:
I have a chance for you to get a return on your money from the $4Billion+ music industry. This industry is still growing, but that $Billion does not account for all Independent music artists revenues. There is a lot of money to be made and I have the same resources a major label would give me to scale and grow my independent music career. More independent music artists are becoming very profitable without a label, but I need your help in raising start-up cash. I have the music, talent and marketing resources to make this happen, I just need capital.
Please see the multiple revenue streams below. I have also listed how much I/WE expect to make if I had enough capital to get me started.
A Record Label takes about 30-40% of the revenue, but in this case, the artist will remain independent and be able to generate a quicker return on investment.
Below, we have listed the main streams of income for an independent music artist in order from “highly attainable now” to “attainable in the future” once your career takes off.
1. Streaming/Plays
2. DigitalAlbumSales/Downloads
3. YouTubeViews/AdSense
4. Merchandise/Apparel
5. ShowMoney/ticketsales
6. Advertisements-smallbusinessesandproductplacementsinvideos/music. 7. Features
8. Writing
9. Producing
