Part 2/8:
One key observation made in the vlog is the struggle within the music industry. The creator, drawing from their experiences, noted that many artists rely heavily on performances and personal branding rather than music sales. They highlighted that only hit songs can lead to substantial profits, with streaming services and record labels often taking the lion's share of revenue, leaving many artists feeling dissatisfied and financially strained.
The creator emphasized that aspiring musicians should shift their focus towards building a personal brand that can lead to various monetization opportunities outside of traditional music sales. While singing and performing are essential, they should be viewed as components of a broader strategy to create a sustainable income.
