00:01As an artist, what can you do to try to make a living for yourself?
00:05Because you're not going to be making it off of streams.
00:07The best thing to do, you've got to become a jack-of-all-trades.
00:11When you look at the 360 deal, there are so many other forms of revenue that artists can be taking
00:16advantage of.
00:17I still make most of my revenue on merchandise and live show ticket sales.
00:23The amount of money that Spotify pays, that is just 0.003 to 0.005 cents.
00:32It would take 300 streams for me to buy a coffee.
00:35Congress has passed around some legislation recently regarding getting songwriters paid up a little better.

01:01You just need a thousand of those people.
01:03I gig all the time, I do live performance opportunities, and I found it's a really great way to help
01:08put income.
01:09You could spend $200 on 400 clicks on Spotify Marquee.
01:15Or you could make 20 TikToks and get 400 clicks.
01:19Focus on the money, you're never going to reach your goals.
01:21You're just going to get in your head and constantly think.
01:26Being a woman in this industry can be a bit frightening and a bit intimidating.
01:31And I say this because it is more of a male-dominant industry.
01:34There's also a pressure to recreate our look so many times.
01:41Getting that Spotify editorial playlist.
01:44I have had a lot of friends that I know personally that I've gotten those playlists.
01:49What's the name of X DoPLEلة playlists is at the bottom of these playlists.
01:51For more videos this may be written in the comments section, I Wilcómo Request area.
01:53And I can specifically view all types of collections modeling of playlists.
