There’s bags of buzz this week around a post by US artist Amanda Palmer titled “How an indie musician can make $19,000 in 10 hours using Twitter”. Which is essentially what she did.The post explains the details, but in short she made $11,000 from a spur-of-the-moment t-shirt, $6,000 from a webcast auction, and $1,800 from a donation-only gig advertised solely on Twitter. By contrast, she claims she’s made “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING” from 30,000 sales of her major label solo album this year.We’re hazy on the details of her beef with her label, but the stuff she’s been doing using Twitter is very interesting indeed. Again – and we’ll keep saying this till we go blue in the face – Twitter isn’t a licence to print money for music artists. It’s just a new communication channel between artists and fans, which can reward lateral thinking and genuine efforts to interact.Related postsTwitter users buy more digital music, says NPDNew Twitter services target celebrities
