Music artists are earning less and less

Why does music artists earning less and less? Because the costs to make an album today is very high In the end of the 90's there was a lot of illegal MP3 music that could be downloaded and it continue. Everything has going digital today. All music are streamed and that doesn't pay the artist as much as back in the days when there was no Internet. Company's like Spotify and Apple music did an effort to let the user pay for what they want to listen to but the profits for the artist are lower than when the user buy an physical record. Still there is made a lot of music but the music of an artist is sometimes just a hype that doesn't last for more than a year.

Now there is an oversupply of music. And people are changing faster from music taste than ever. Everythi...

Veranderen van Job

Een tijdje geleden ben ik veranderd van job. En omdat dit geen gemakkelijke periode in iemands leven is wil ik graag mijn ervaring nu met jullie delen. Zie het als een getuigenis die ook voor u wel eens interessant zou kunnen zijn zeker als je wil veranderen van werk of het ooit van plan bent. Redenen om te veranderen van job Was het de sector die beu was, was het de bedrijfscultuur of was het de job-inhoud en alle taken die er bij hoorden. Was het de jarenlange achteruitgang van het bedrijf, het vele verloop van personeel, het niet vervangen van weggelopen of ontslagen personeel, het niet innoveren of was ikzelf in een gedemotiveerde spiraal terecht gekomen? Lag het aan mij? Was het omdat ik al altijd tegen mijzelf zij dat ik dit nooit zou volhouden tot mijn pensioen. Of was het gewoon simpelweg het idee van het gaan werken voor een firma of baas? Volgens mij was het alles samen die mij deed beslissen om van job te veranderen. Pogingen om te veranderen van job Voor meer d...
