Amanda Palmer is an amazing musical artist who gives her music away for free and people pay her anyway. Not only is she a talented musician, but she's a living example of how social networking can be applied to supporting your passion.
If you're a musician that is struggling with getting your music out to the world, building your audience and wondering how you're going to do all that and still eat, this Ted Talk she did will inspire you.
She tells her story of how after signing with a label and selling 25,000 CD's, which the label considered a failure, she took control of her music and gave it away for free.
Building a loyal following, they helped her crowd-fund her next release to the tune of $1.2 million dollars, the largest crowd-funded music project in history.
Listening to her is an inspiration for any creative artist to learn how to engage with your audience and turn them into loyal, supporting fans.
