WELCOME EVERYBODY TO SHOW ME THE MONEY IN MUSIC!
I am mrJack, your host at Show Me The Money In Music or “SMTMIM” as I like to call it. When someone asks how much you got paid for a gig, and it was too little, just say “smtmim.” Together I hope we can find ways to stop getting paid just smtmim!
Each episode of SMTMIM is recorded and there will be links provided to listen to every audio we release. Most, or many, will be posted here but some of our episodes will be aired on popular podcasts. And some of the content from each episode will be posted in an individual blog post.
Today’s music business is a 45 billion dollar industry. In 2022, the revenues were the highest in history. The global demand to consume music and music-related products has never been higher.
And yet, many people, especially those attempting to make a successful career in music, are asking, “where is the money?”
SHOW ME THE MONEY!
The question of who is getting paid, and how much are they getting paid, and for what, seems like a giant fog bank to most of us. Where the money can be made in music these days just isn’t very clear.
