Excellent.
Yea, Kickstarter has its own native traffic sources, which is really incredible. It's made my business possible for the last 2 years, and introduced me to probably 450 people who have paid for my work in that time period.
Might be an over-estimate, but also might not be.
Most of them are one offs for $5 or $10, So that's probably about right.
Anyways - the game is like:
Cello Album with Music Video on Kickstarter =
[people who like cello loops and interesting visuals]
You might try a project like that out for a month, just to see who bites.
[Sad Cello for Donald Trump's Tears, where you have pepe trump weeping in music video series for album. -- Three parts Sad Donald + Rage Donald + Loser Donald.]
That one probably gets more $ than cello loops and interesting visuals.
you might try:
genre based work?
Like Vaporwave Cello?
I don't know.
You might try
Performance based work --
Like, "I will be creating interpretive cello work for people who perform X action on reddit"
You might try collaborative work - like joining up with those people or others who are making projects.
You might try something interesting and mythic.
Like, I heard this one cello loop person -- probably the only time I've ever heard it, and it was in a dark room, and it was this beautiful woman playing it, and the music sounded like sirens -- like the vibration of sirens passing through MY SOUL.
And I cried.
So, if you want to do something thematic like "Sirens" -- and you have a place where you can target people who like mermaids / sirens, and strings ambience, then that's cool.
You can also try original concept albums.
Like I'm really into Harold Budd, he's a pianist, and I listen to his albums and brian eno's albums on repeat.
All fucking day.
And it's awesome. So you could start making those sorts of albums, and then sell them to the ambient abstract music crowd.
You probably also already perform live and project your interesting stuff on the background.

Just idea dumping.
So if you mix and match:
- ETH NFTs
- Soundcloud
- Kickstarter projects
- Live Performances
- Hive posts
- and then open up a patreon so people have a USD option for your HIVE content.
Then that's like 6 different $ streams,
Some might be totally worthless, like soundcloud or in the beginning, patreon.
But others, like live performances, hive, and kickstarter projects might work really well.
You also might be a bold pioneer in the music video NFT thing.

Last idea here to share is a permacultural concept called Stacking Functions.
Basically you have
ONE PROJECT AT A TIME:
and then your project filters out through all of those mediums listed above.
So, your Pepe Trump project gets created, and blogged about on HIVE. $
Then NFTs. $
Then Live performance $ and Kickstarter $ and outreach at the same time.
Then thank you thank you thank you, follow me here on HIVE $ / Patreon $ .
Then, next project, do it again.
Think like monthly or quarterly cycle?
