Quick post: poll results

Posted by: on Jan 25, 2012 | One Comment

Just briefly on the results of the poll I posted about independent musicians (that would be me). There were some predictable results, but also some surprising ones:

  • Twice as many people would rather follow on facebook/twitter than give out their email address. (Makes sense.)
  • Nearly twice as many would rather download an album for a set price than for free (and share the word).  And very few want to have to go through the trouble of figuring out how much to “tip” an artist.

To be fair, my sample pool was pretty small (< 100) and I’m sure many in my audience of listeners aren’t as aware of all the great services like Bandcamp and Noisetrade (not to mention Kickstarter and PledgeMusic).

If you took the poll, thanks.  If not, you can still chime in.
