Within any media audience is the most important part, if there’s not an audience for it then there’s no point in making it. Although there isn’t as much importance in music videos as there is TV programmes or magazines, it still makes the artist and song more popular. The more popular a song gets the more people will buy it and therefore the more money is made allowing them to make more music and videos and therefore becoming more popular. Another way in which artists make money is by doing live shows and tours, these rely greatly on having an audience that want to go to see them. These are great ways of gaining more fans as their audience may take friends that haven’t previously heard of them or have only just been introduced.
Yet another way that artists make money is by selling merchandise, depending on how popular the artist is the fans could pay a lot of money to get a t-shirt at a show, for many bands that are starting out this is their main source of income and many times, mainly when they play support shows, they man the stalls themselves to talk to existing fans and try to make more, this merchandise is a lot cheaper than that of popular artists and so the audience are more willing to pay for it.
