Fans know how much artists get screwed, so I do not think the perception will be like that.
I am going to be helping a friend of mine who is a signed artist in utilizing the platform.
Here are a few tips to artists that I think they should keep in mind.
Musicoin does not have to replace Soundcloud etc., instead first embrace the idea of a better tomorrow, many of the problems artists face for being grossly underpaid are solved by this new idea, Musicoin. It may not be as smooth as Soundcloud at the moment, but just to have a functioning platform that COULD substantially increase the earnings of every artist is worth embracing, especially when it is FREE.
Release your music a day/week on Musicoin before putting on Soundcloud. Your fans want to hear the next gem you created, and by launching it first on Musicoin and then promoting the release on your social media feeds, they will get to hear the same song they would on Soundcloud, but now you make 6 cents per play($60.00 per 1000 plays currently) as opposed to 0.0003 cents per play on Soundcloud.
Musicoin is seemless in your social media. People do not need a Musicoin account to get you credit for the play AND people can just listen by pressing the social media link without having to even go to a different screen.
This is just an opportunity. You have to work in getting your fans aware of your favorite hangout where artists are treated with the great respect they deserve. As you build your following, it will become easier and easier to see how this is the future. One that pays you well for the creations you make.
