Amateurs Outside Of The Music Business

Problem
Excuse me while I vent but...there are no good outlets when it comes to putting out your music LOL. Dude whether you're a singer, rapper, songwriter, producer, live instrumentalist, etc. The majors have SoundCloud, YouTube, Facebook, iTunes, Amazon, and God knows what else. I mean yeah we have those outlets as well but we get massacred every single time because our pockets aren't deep enough. Now how can I compete with Laidback Luke or Katy Perry? It's damn near impossible because they've got conglomerates and their name. Psssh shoot they are conglomerates LOL. What do I have? Talent? Not enough anymore I'm afraid kids.

Solution
We need a marketing revolution for no name artists. An attractive and inviting site catered only to the music listener who wants to hear new music from no names and NOT the well known. Slefish? No. I just think things would be better that way. I mean seriously have you seen the comments to views ratio on sites where the users are 99% musicians like SoundCloud or even here on a music forum site FutureProducers? For every 200 views you get like two sad little verbal responses like "wow" or "good job on the chords come check out my sounds!" And by who?? Who's leaving those bland, teansparent comments? Other music creators. Blaaaah. Not listeners but creators. Now let's look at a site like YouTube where everybody is a user. You, me, your coworker. All of us. As soon as some random fool puts up a new song by a big brand name artist the comments, likes, and views come pouring in. 100k in an hour?! The choice is clear. We need a new outlet for no named artists who are putting out good, quality music.
Hmm? Maybe it'll be me to do it one day. It could happen.
