- I definitely am aware of the fact that greed promotes scarcity and does not pay.
- I know word of mouth can often best the best method of promotion. I totally think it opens doors. I just lost my way somewhere in this mess of "the right way" to do this.
- I'm not a jerk...really....
And so upon careful consideration of what my problem is:
- I was afraid if I gave it away, it wasn't a "smart career move" ie. won't make at least my investment back. I've read a lot on how the "independent artist" shouldn't give away their music, not even to their closest friends/family for the sake of the investment. This kinda made sense to me but not really, I guess I just thought I should "follow directions" 'cause I don't know what I'm doing. This relates back to my last post, in that I just gotta do what I do, and who gives a crap what the "right" way is.
- Now nevermind #1, this one was the real reason hiding underneath it: I didn't think it was good enough. I, underneath all this, wanted whatever song ended up getting leaked or shared to be "perfect" and because it's not, in my eyes, I couldn't bear the thought of someone promoting it. Now, this raises the question of WHY IN HELL WOULD I PUT IT ON A WEBSITE, then, IF I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO HEAR IT???
Yup, it's clear to me now, I'm just crazy. And sorry for being such a greedy jerk.
You know what else I am? Done being insecure. I don't give a crap anymore.
How about you knit me a nice gag so I shut up, already.
