“As
aritsts
expand
sales
beyond
their
communities,
they
import
money,
which
further
increases
the
community’s
economic
base”(Rapaport)
Not
only
does
joining
the
Indie
movement
save
the
artist
money,
it
also
monetarily
beneAits
the
community.

By
following
the
Indie
model
in
the
industry,
you
will
better
learn
your
audience.
Knowing
what
kind
of
music
is
selling
in
todays
industry
helps
you
more
successfully
market
and
promote
yourself
or
others.
Being
involved
in
the
Indie
Market
you
are
closer
to
your
audience
and
better
get
your
name
out
there.

Following
the
Indie
movement
has
made
me
an
asset
to
bands
and
venues.
I
can
tell
a
personal
story
of
how
staying
on
the
Indie
circuit
has
led
to
helping
Indie
bands
promote
and
market
because
they
know
I
am
knowledgeable
in
this
part
of
the
industry.

Following
the
Indie
movement
leaves
plenty
of
room
for
imagination
“At
it’s
most
self-‐absorbed,
which
is
often,
indie
suggests
a
carefully
curated
daydream
life,
the
kind
that
might
be
enacted,
with
just
the
right
degree
of
enuui,
on
the
set
of
a
Wes
Anderson
Ailm”
(King)
