Little bit farther

With development of music-production technology, more and more people start to make money from music. Without a contract from a major label, artists have to sell their music by themselves. Royalty from subscription services are too small for a young producer to survive, and that's when indie labels and/or crowdfunding services come to the stage. With only 17% market share, independent album sales are raising, and there are stories of success already: Amanda Palmer (on photo) raised $1,2M on Kickstarter from fans willing her to record a new album.
