quite true. I wonder what the reasoning is behind the majors' signing acts and then not investing in them. What are the bean counters thinking? Why do they bother to sign acts they have no intention of promoting properly?
I have been self-promoting for a while now, and it is a struggle. But I have also turned down label offers that would have required me to give up control of my catalog and my publishing, and I just didn't trust it. Am I glad I did? Who knows, I'm not sure how to work the "new model" either, and I can't seem to break even, let alone get ahead financially. It seems like a dark time for independent artists with no startup capital, no matter how clever your Facebook page is.
