RE: The Steem-Powered Web Will Turn Musicians From “Unpaid Interns” to Paid Employees of Society

in #steem7 years ago

That's sad and true. I am a cellist in a country where the job opportunities are really few. The entrance to a big orchestra depends on your chances to become a friend of the supporters of this orchestra, not always fair. That's why lots of musicians try to advertise themselves on Facebook or Instagram, which usually doesn't bring a financial reward. Steemit might be used to support us. I am relatively new on the platform but I hope I could share some of my experiences. Thanks for the post.

Ahh yea you have it really tough trying to get into an orchestra. Thats the hardest gig in the world maybe. But maybe with steem there are new opportunities - like getting together with a few other up-and-coming musicians to form a Quartet, get paid to put out songs here, and maybe that helps you become friends with the orchestra :-)
