Feelsgoodman.... Finally starting to see some payoff after years of work..
This is the thing they're afraid. Not everyone's going to be super successful this way but a lot are going to be able to be self-sufficient and even more would be if they got a regular stimulus.
more power to You user , good job also didnt linked your shit in first post like a 13 year old larper so bonus points

Great, but why do you make this thread everyday?
Asher Cook
Thank you anons, I appreciate it. Yes it is very fulfilling, although I'm still kind of a weirdo, at least I have a passion.
Agreed, I'd much rather struggle working towards something that I KNOW will pay off one day, than waste my life stacking boxes for a paycheck. The feeling of being known and appreciated by people is enough for me, It makes me feel happy. I also love making music.
Parker Smith
I generally post my stuff on this website a lot in creative threads and what not, so I figure I'd take it easy on the shilling this time.
Good for you. I have a similiar story with my little IT business. Last year and this year were very good. Went from nearly nothing to about the same amount I made when I slaved as a developer but I work way less and no normalfags who annoy me. Had to leave my old job in 2016 and just worked like a motherfucker because I hate the wage cage so much.

Found the DuckDAO hunters game, does anyone take part in it?
Looks like this crypto incubator can provide useful options for investments. Please, share your opinion about it
Yup, exactly what I did with my record label. I lost my job and just invested all my money and time into it, and it payed off. Glad to hear of your success..
Thank you anons.

Blake Jackson
Good stuff user I'm happy for you
Alexander Lopez
Who do you work with user I'm curious
Aiden Clark
Thanks user, that means a lot to me. Most of the "made" people in the music industry tend to talk down to me and try and give me their shitty advice. Good luck with your label.
I know you're joking, but It's actually a big thing for me. I started off with 0 listeners, 0 interest, 0 press releases, and now it's grown to this.
Comfy, good luck user. I spent most of my unemployment money on a website and advertising and what not, don't be afraid to "lose" money. Should I buy link now or wait? I heard it was going to moon.
Thx user
What money should I invest in?

Ah, I remember your thread from lastweek. When you say you started a 'record label', does that mean you would perhaps publish other peoples music? This ambient stuff has blown up this past year...
