No money

Shows, endorsement, advert, concert, social media like youtube etc

Endorsements & shows basically.

G

Shows mostly.
Some might get 2 to 3 invites a week.
Then concerts.
Endorsements too though not bankable as they are hard to come by.

Na wa oh

i think the popular musicians that upload there songs on Apple ITunes makes money, because you gats purchase the song with your credit card

MC galaxy in particular

Download is not free

kernniejay:
So I heard, but the famous ones make money from endorsements and brand deals. The industry is so saturated and every mushroom musician is just scampering for slots in the industry. It's like every youth in Nigeria now finds passion in music.

If you have hit songs....you will make money from live shows too

1. Musical tours
2. Musical Shows/ Parties
3. Streaming revenue on various platforms like Youtube, Itunes, Spotify, etc
4. Brand endorsements
5. Musical royalties from movies
6. Writing and Sale of songs to other musicians, movie producers, campaigns, etc
7. Record labels/ Entertainment companies

Don't venture into music because of money but instead, coming up with good songs will give you a good fan base and then, money will start coming from show invites, features e.t.c

muzically:
Itunes, Spotify etc

Cool cash

At $0.007 per stream, my song of 2 wks generated 54,000 streams. That's about $378

Hey. I have a word for you.
No matter the number of people doing what you want to do, you can always succeed there.
Because an industry is saturated doesn't mean you can't succeed there.
* Have a Mentor, role model
* Choose to be different
* Decide to be the best
* Offer something unique and different
I have a strong assurance that you will make it.

i will surely remember you in paradize

70 percent of their money is made from online streaming services, iTunes also foreign shows abi perfornance, just imagine having to perform in UK and Europe, remember the foreign exchange and please note this is for the genuine musicians oh.

This thread is funny lol


Most Nigerian Artist are not ready to make money. Till the likes of TooExclusive, notjustokay and Naija loaded are banned, Nigerian upcoming artists will NEVER make money from their songs and will continue to struggle for shows that will not even come in the first place.
Show Organisers want to make profit and will always invite artists that will be profitable to them.

An artist will release song today and pay almost 200k to blogs to help post his songs that people will download FOR FREE. Where is the sense?
When you try to educate them they will tell you "baba leave that thing I just want the song to be out there". And I will just laugh. Your song no go go anywhere. Even if it does highest 3 weeks max, Nigerians don move on, how much you make untop am?


Nigerian Artists are not ready abeg.

Pearlyakin:
