8.2% Unemployment AGAIN: Why Not Create Music for iTunes, Amazon And Facebook?

New Artists, Authors, and Filmmakers Turn To Self-Publishing In Quest For A Career I've read How Jennifer Lopez Climbed to No. 1 On The Forbes Celebrity 100 List and recommend you do too. At the same time if you're one of the 8.2% in the United States who are unemployed, a more pressing issue is how to come roaring back. Thanks to Moore’s Law and the unstoppable move to the desktop and handheld device, the cost of creating professional-quality music, video and written content is estimated to have plummeted by 90% or more, over the past 25 years leading to an independent content explosion. Today, hundreds of thousands of songs, albums, and books are created and distributed worldwide every year through channels like YouTube, Facebook, and through stores like Amazon and iTunes, offering consumers more choice than ever before. 15% of iTunes' Music Catalog One company that works with writers and bands to facilitate the production and distribution of content is AVL Digital Group whose businesses include CD Baby, BookBaby, and Disc Makers among others. CD Baby alone distributes some 4.2 million songs by over 300,000 artists – an estimated 15% of iTunes’ total music catalog. These dynamics epitomize the long-tail dynamics popularized by Chris Anderson in Wired magazine. For instance, the volume of tracks produced by independent artists collectively makes up a market share that rivals or exceeds those of the current musical giants.
