Musician Julia Nunes shared this on her Twitter. Julia herself is starting her THIRD Kickstarter campaign. Her first Kickstarter campaign was the highest yielding campaign on the site at the time. But really, this isn't about Kickstarter, but about people willingness to support things they like.
THIS is what I keep telling people. She says it so much better than I do, though. And it goes for not just musicians, but ANY creator. This is what made me love YouTube... YouTube is where I saw this connection... Correction: I first recognized the connection between audience and performer when I was much younger, watching my father play at local bars, but until YouTube, it was just a thing that happened while musicians performed. It's not easy to SEE on YouTube though. I had been watching YouTube for music for a few years before Julia posted that she'd be being interviewed at VidCon... At the time I had never heard of VidCon. It turned out that she was not the only person being interviewed. The company doing the interviews was a start-up that was promoting their product, a live video feed website where you could record your sessions and interact with the audience. They had set up their room to interview YouTubers throughout the course of the event. So after Julia was done, I kept watching and it opened up a whole new world of YouTube for me. I learned about vloggers, and all of these creators that make these mini short films... And I was hooked. I found out that Cory Williams as the first person to make a living soley from YouTube as Mr.Safety, and after that, I began studying YouTube and how the money part worked, and it turned out, that all you had to do was post all the time and be interesting, while at the same time being REAL and interactive. YouTube has changed a little since then. More and more people are jumping on the band wagon without understanding that mechanic. What Amanda Palmer is referring to is this interactivity. All of these YouTubers do meetups, they chat in the comments, and the more they interact, the more subscribers they get. But as I started with, this works everywhere, every day. You don't have to be on YouTube. My father did it playing out, I do it at work and here on Facebook, and, you can do it too.

Don't make people pay for music, says Amanda Palmer: Let them. In a passionate talk that begins in her days as a street performer (drop a dollar in the hat for the Eight-Foot Bride!), she examines the new relationship between artist and fan.
