Yeah maybe its a market issue. I live in a major metropolitan market and local DJs who almost never produce makes more money than that.

Granted a specific market + genre combo can only support a handful of these "regionally famous" DJs, but that's probably just market self regulation.

Love posts where people share the details and specifics, regardless of the industry.

Kinda. Lots of vague generalizations. “Let’s assume the seller takes 50%” (which sellers take that?)

“Let’s assume $2” (most were a bit less).

Why only list sales by single on the EP? There’s no mention of the EP sold as a whole.

And then “this project took a year of my life and COST me money”. This is his job ... he obviously must have made something from it or have some savings that he’s not mentioning - it’s not like you can work to make a loss consistently.
