There's like a million and plus producers/beat makers, millions of artists that are hungry, and an inflation that's destroying the conception of even making a quick buck. I just go the lucky route and see where it goes. Die Empty.
I would rather just put most if not all my work out there and see if it will put me on or just the joy of hearing one person go "yoo this is tight", versus trying to charge crazy numbers in the midst of AI and technology dumbing down for the average musician or bedroom artist.
Years ago, I would have suggested Soundcloud, blogs, and so forth since heads were more level-headed, the economy wasn't as stagnant, and dreams were essential.
Nowadays, the only thing I can truly say is just believe in yourself and at least you value your worth. Hell, at this point in my life, I'm just making music that I like and don't care about making hits or going big time. I just love music
