Look What the Web Has Done
Music has always been a money industry. This is very evident today, even in reality shows. One of the roads to success or stardom is winning a popular, if not nationwide talent search. To many, they join for the reason of earning a lot while doing what they love best –singing. If, however, if you don’t win any of these competitions or you are the discreet type who doesn’t want to line up with hundreds of people for audition, you can try online video uploading.
Many people now have been discovered through free online video sharing. They just sing to their heart’s content in the comforts of their own room (comfort room for some) and upload it in the web. It is much easier that filling up those application forms and lining up for hours. Technology does a lot for people in terms of convenience and broadcasting.
I did a little search and found a site where you could actually upload your music, place your price and when somebody wants to buy it, the site would pay you sixty-five percent of the sales. Whoa! Even amateurs can now sell their songs and albums. I don’t know yet if it is shopping cart software they are using or not. I haven’t signed up yet. I haven’t had the time to record a few songs anyway. But that’s one good thing technology has brought into the music industry, the opportunity for people unknown from the world to broadcast themselves and sing to their heart’s content.
