1,000 True Fans
True fans someone that is loyal a die-hard would do anything to see you or what you have made or buys everything that has your name on it....thats what i call a true fan. These musical artists or movie stars that you have love for also have love for you buying the material because it making them a huge profit, and if you think about it their getting bigger. In the article it said a true fan will spend a $100 a year, and if you have a 1,000 fans its 100 grand a year. Some people do deserve profit if their actually good i mean they do make a ton of money but they go out day after day to give you what you love. In another aspect some music out their today is nor written or actually sung live and these people make tons of money just showing up. I don't know about you but that ticks me off a bit. But the reality is these artists or movie stars need the general public to like their material otherwise they wont make money so they depend on trying to make the best stuff possible. And a thousand fans is like filling a school full die-hards and the truth is its millions of fans. That's a lot of math.
True fans might not stay true fans forever simple reasons like i grew up with the kid in the band went to all their shows locally then they got signed by a label and bang now all of a sudden people like them. I had that happen to me with a few bands i listen to now their huge of course but one of band's singer's used to work at my local mall, and id see him around western mass in the most random places obviously at the time it was no biggie because you were local. But if you get out their and get known into the business they better your shot.
Of course we all know their will always be die-hard fans, and the music and movie scene will keep continuing to climb up their money ladder. But if you truly love whatever is being made then at least you know were your dumping your money!
