The Best Way To Find Crowdfunding For Musicians

By Iva Cannon


Funding a music record, video, or a project may be financially distressing for a starting musician. Needless to say, it is even more distressing and quite frustrating to get a record deal. As a musician, whatever genre you are into, you will need a fanbase in order to get yourself into the spotlight. Concerts, even mini and low cost ones are still very difficult to manage.

Making music is relatively easy especially if you have the talent in songwriting and instrument playing. But those are never enough. If you have the looks, there is a possibility, but still not a guarantee that you will make it big in the music industry. As an amateur, you will need funds or make an independent label if you have the guts and the bucks to do so. There is another option, though. Crowdfunding for musicians might just work.

This is very difficult, though. There are still quite a number of musicians who have never gotten enough recognition even when they resorted to this strategy. They come to realize that talent is not everything. They also need support from people who believe in their craft. And ultimately, they will need financial support.

Some of the most effective ways to do this is through the internet. Musicians promote their piece in crowdfunding sites. These are established by fellow musicians and others are affiliated with record labels. The only thing you need to do is make more music, upload them to the site, generate comments, and wait for people to contact you and pledge their support.

Some do not like this strategy because it may not be as reliable as they thought it would be. So, they just do covers instead and upload them to social networking sites. Some of them are not even aware that they are already online sensations. One thing to get you a record label is to get a lot of views and positive comments.

If you will be recognized by a record label, you will likely get the chance to make it big in the industry. Perhaps as big as Incubus, if you have a band, or Taylor Swift if you are an aspiring pop star. You will experience all that they have experienced as stars including dealing with haters.

Some examples of these artists are Walk Off the Earth, Christina Grimmie, and many others. Grimmie even made her videos a platform in joining The Voice USA and made it to the finals. Although she did not win, she still was able to gather a lot of fans trailing behind her and supporting her next projects.

It is never easy to please the crowd but most of those who made it big in the music industry just presented themselves in the most confident manner. They trust in their abilities so much. And they make it a point that they always have the time to respond to the comments and posts of their fans over social networking sites.

If you think your first album was a success, this is still not a guarantee that you will be staying in the business for as long as Madonna did. There is always a possibility of one hit wonders. Nevertheless, keep trying.
