It can be a bit confusing, especially for artists more accustomed to the traditional art hustle. Bring any busker with a bit of ambition though and they'd have their account rocking in no time. I made a bit of a quip in my most recent post about how some traditional artists don't like my approach. Some of that stems from speaking to folks on the outside behind the scenes, trying to get this thing rolling. And it's hard for some because deep down they lack confidence so when you say half is going so someone else, they flip out thinking the percentage is too high, not realizing that isn't a greedy middleman, it's the actual fans and followers getting that money. Sometimes they think they wouldn't be able to drum up that kind of support but I disagree. And there's no real need for marketing in the traditional sense. Simply directly connecting with people and chilling is the new 'marketing' in a sense, and of course one can still make traditional sales as a side hustle. Consumers getting paid is a huge game changer but for now causes more confusion than anything. New concepts do that to people.
Truly do need to get this support system on the minds of more people, and more people here. Those thousands of small stakeholders would make up the majority of stake once it's all woven together.
Pardon those edits. Was having a few beer LOL!
