Great idea...I know some that could use the boost!
Oh yeah! That's brilliant! The music industry on the steem blockchain to monetize artists this could be huge!
I'm trying to invite a few musicians. No luck yet, but stories like this will help
We will get there :) Thanks for the efforts anyways, that's why we're a great community, everyone trying to help.
Steemit would probably be a good platform for new musicians trying to get some traction. However, I think there is a problem with the payout. For instance, they could post their song, and maybe get as much as $100 reward for it. The problem is that this is pretty much a one-time thing, and they would need to push a lot of new music to be able to actually make a decent income. But what if we had some system where they could earn based on how many listens they get? That would definitely be really cool, and hopefully it would be able to pay a lot better than Spotify or YouTube.
They can keep posting new music as it happens and make something for each of those. I'd like to see a Tip button so you can give more than your vote is worth if you have some Steem. Maybe there could be a whole new service that pays based on listens. That needs some development
Yep, it would probably require a lot of development, but a type of tipping function, where you could set it to tip a small amount each time you play a song etc. is probably something that will attract a lot of new creators here :)
A tip button is an interesting idea. @kus- knee and @papa-pepper have both been doing something like that and rewarding comments and posts from our own wallet when we feel that they are worth more than their payout.
