The music industry is changing, or in many cases I should say it is dying. So where is the future? Well you have to embrace online and free is out there for good. Money is to be made from concerts and true fans, but while there may be less cash coming in, musicians are going it alone. Busted shocked the pop world by stopping being a boy band and managing themselves to great success, but they were already a global success. Now however it is much easier to start. You can create a professional CD in your own home like the Bedinfields and you can even be funded through crowd sourcing. The big idea from Sellaband is to allow music fans to back bands, help promote them and take a slice of the profits. So for as little as $10 you can be on the inside of the new music industry. And because there are lots of people who believe in these bands and who want to help them succeed, there is a greater chance of them making it. It is natural selection, the bad bands don’t get the funding and the fans get more of what they want.
