More Musicians Realize Free Can Be
Profitable
05/21/2004 04:14 AM
Here's yet another article in a mainstream news source (USA Today) noting that many musicians realize that file sharing has helped them build a fan base who come out to concerts and who feel much more involved with the band. The article includes some quotes from RIAA chief Mitch Bainwol stating the standard line about how the artists can do what they want, but where will that leave the folks at the record labels? Of course, he's basically taking the position that the recording industry is owed their rightful profit, rather than realizing that business models and markets change - and if his constituents can't keep up and come up with new business models, they don't deserve to be in business. The market for horse and buggies dried up when automobiles came about - and no one today would say that we need to artificially prop up the horse and buggy market, like he wants to make sure the recording industry is artificially propped up. If he was really there to help the industry, he'd be telling them that it was time to adjust already and not try to hold back what's inevitable in the industry. Instead, he tries to claim that the record labels are like VCs - a comparison that has been made many times over the years - but which is wrong. At least VCs have (mostly) learned to adjust to market changes over time. The recording industry execs seem to think that markets never change at all.

Online Retail Officially Profitable?


Online Retail Officially Profitable? 05/24/2004 08:25 PM
Remember during the dot com boom where you couldn't find a single online retailer that came anywhere close to profitability? Part of this was due to the VC investment craze, where they were pouring money into dot coms as fast as they could, and telling them that profitability was secondary to growing the top line of their business as fast as possible. Of course, it's always easy to grow revenue when you're giving away dollar bills for seventy-five cents, which was basically the business model of many dot coms. Then, the bubble popped and many dot coms suddenly had to figure out a way to become profitable. Many went out of business, but slowly, survivors started to show quarterly reports with a lot less red ink. Now, a new study has found that the aggregate financial results from various online retailers shows that the overall industry is now profitable - not just a few of the bigger players. One of the main reasons for this unexpected profitability? The increasing use of paid search advertising. E-commerce sites have slashed their marketing budgets and have ditched costly (and useless) banner ads in favor of much more targeted text ads on search sites like Google.
