Let’s say that your yearly goal was to make enough money from music that would allow you to focus on it full-time. We’re also going to assume that $30,000 per year would be the minimum amount you’d need to live.
Based on that information, your yearly goal is to make $30,000.
Now that we know what your yearly goal is, we can create the month goals.
$30,000 divided by 12 months is $2,500.
Now that we know what your monthly goal is, we can create your weekly goal.
$2,500 divided by 4 is $625 per week.
In order to hit your yearly goal and focus on music full-time – your weekly goal is to make $625 per week.
You could go into more detail and create daily goals but, to keep this simple, we’re going not going to focus on those.
Maybe you already have 200 true fans that support most things you do. In order to hit $625 per week – you’d need at least $3.13 per week (or $12.50 per month) from each of those true fans in order to hit your yearly goal.
Maybe you already have thousands of fans that like listening to your music. In order to hit $625 per week – you’d need 85,035 streams per week (12,148 per day) from Apple Music (based on 2016 streaming data).
You see, while in no way is it easy, it’s very simple. By creating these goals, it will give you direction and help you focus.
📝 📝📝Signings, in public, appear celebratory, as they should. Usually, if the press can include the word “million” in a write-up, headlines will follow the announcement that someone signed to XYZ for an impressive dollar amount.
A $1 million deal is not the same as a $1 million salary. A $1 million advance can break down to $100,000 per album in a 10-album deal. Many advances are partly pre-designated to cover the costs of recording and/or marketing & promotion. Advances resemble loans an artist must recoup, or pay back, through THEIR royalties. For the label to make money from your royalties, they have to at least temporarily own a portion of your copyrights (But most own your copyrights for YEARS after recouping or even for life in some cases).

A CD or download sale is treated equally no matter how great the album is. It’s a one-time transaction never to be earned on again. Unless, that same person decides to buy multiple copies over time, which is unlikely these days since CD-ROMs are becoming more extinct every day.
Contrast that with streaming. If a song is great it will get played over and over again for years and years. Earning MORE than a single sale ever could.
Streaming pays less initially, but much much more in the long run – if the music is good, of course.
Thanks for reading and engaging with us today. Continue to follow us for tips and demystifying the music industry.

🗣🗣Far too often projects are being released by independent artists without the proper prerequisites. We are here to make sure that your project doesn’t. These are certainly not the only things that need to be done, but a baseline to keep your priorities in check.
Take New Photos 📸
You should build up a network of photographers in your city. You can never have enough high-quality photos. Every release is a new beginning. It’s a time to update and enhance your image. To rebrand, if necessary. Photos give your audience the first impression of the music. People will judge your project based on the artwork and photography before they choose to listen to the music. So, your photos should have the same vibe and energy of your release.
Write 3 bios 📝
Your bio is your story. It is the single most important piece of your release—next to the music, of course. It should reveal why people should care about you. What sets you apart? Why are you unique? And more specifically, what is the album’s story?
Press Release 🖊
This is different from your bio and doesn’t need to be posted anywhere online. This should entail information about the creative process and highlighting the project’s high points such as any notable producers, songwriters, engineers, or featured artists you may have on your project.
