I just read through all the live blogging notes for the Macworld keynote that happened this morning. Of course, every music blog on earth is going to mention the variable pricing that was introduced to iTunes. Fine, not a problem. The thing I noticed: artist lessons available for download in Garageband. So what, you say? They’re $4.99 each. My question is: how much of that goes to the artist and how does one submit material to this mysterious store?
I’m thinking like this: do you have to wait for Apple’s invitation or can you film your own and submit it? If so, how does the revenue get split, same as the iTunes store (70/30)? This could be a huge profit center for artists in the future. Your casual fans could buy the mp3s, but your hardcore fans could buy your lessons.
