      Right! lol I actually just dropped a song about GETTING UP AND GETTING TO WORK lol and it’s because of this advice.. it’s called “Year 20$4” and it’s available now! I also have songs already set to release every week in February and every two weeks in March. This is me taking Nic’s advice and just goin to work at it. If you’re doing the same, come check me out and I’ll go check you out!

    Can you tell me what "100% of the minimum statutory rate" means? Like what is that percentage here in the U.S.? It says that on the mechanical royalty section of most beat contracts.

    I agree the cover Art 🖌️🎨 does not need to be perfect as it's all about the song 🎶🎵. Did you narrate your Audio book? Pretty impressive. I like the way it's only available on your website. No middle man. Wish I could sing. I've been waiting for my daughter to sing a song I wrote but I think I will be waiting forever. I will have to find someone else. 😄👍

    Hey Nic Did you boost the content with promotion within the apps like Facebook / instagrams to get more engagement / or just relied on the discovery from hashtags from posting it. Cause I know that would be an additional cost.

    What do you think of AI for album art specially if it fits your aesthetic? Although I have been using Photoshop since I was a little kid, and maybe make extra cash on the side as a "portfolio" one day. Music is the focus though.
