Clearly the obvious answer to the title is simple enough...you will get paid here for your hard work if you put in the time and effort to learn how to use these platforms. The number one threat to music and live music is streaming content on the big business streaming sites. That being said... Tidal.com is an exception in our opinion, so we will continue to make all our content available there. Tidal is by artists for artists, Steemit and Dtube are comparable to that philosophy.
We aren't saying that you shouldn't use these streaming services, we are saying that you should limit your content availability on them. So making Steemit and Dtube your exclusive content platform makes more sense to us and it should to you as well. It appears quite likely that this epiphany will eventually come abundantly clear in the not to distant future.
That is why EVERY musician should be on here! In the years ahead steemit should easily become the choice of artists to make their content fully and exclusively available on steemit and Dtube. The earlier you start the further ahead you will be when that awareness takes hold on the late bloomers!
We all know that the current choices for social media distribution platforms have been burning artists for years. Now we have the opportunity to take back control of our creative works.
If we don't join the revolution to control our works then the industry will continue to dictate to us what music is and what it is worth.
