An Emerging Model For Sustainable Growth in ALL Areas
Here’s the model we use today.
It’s called the “Hacking Music” model.
It’s built with expiereinces, automation and service in mind. We optimize for MARGIN across the board in ALL areas - financial, personal, professional.
We analyzed the defective components of legacy dinosaur music business and figured out how to “invert” them.
A standard artist career feels like this:
Feast & Famine
Start Over Every Month
Linear & Unleveraged Time
High Stress
The "Hacking Music" model, in contrast, is:
Steady & Predictable
“Revolving” Revenue Models
Time & Money Not Connected
Scalable & Sellable
We completely reinvented the model from the ground up to secure more longevity, revenue and sanity for artists.
The 4 Stages of Hacking Music
Any artist that is worth anything will go through these 4 stages - avoiding the inevitable pitfall of standard record label horror story:
A “full cycle” takes 2-4 years.
The model incentivizes getting better, not getting bigger.
Because when you get better, your customers will beg you, DEMAND you, to BUY from you
Built On MODELS, Not Luck.
Let me ask you a question:
If you quit entering contetst, writing songs, watching you tube how long would it take before your career stopped working?
For us, we could not take another client for the rest of this year and be fine.
It’s not ideal, but we would not be in any danger.
Here’s the deal...
Really, it’s about taking the smart route over the desperate lottery route.
This is the future of music business - it’s already occurring in the field.
