How to make money on the Web: find your fans

The New York Times has an article about singer & songwriter Jonathan Coulton, who is currently making a modest living by writing and posting songs for download. He is also keeping a blog, and thus keeping in touch with his fans, who become his supporters and tell others about his music. They also enable him to recruit audiences and decide where to give concerts. It’s the “long tail” of music marketing.

The article has a link to an interview with Jonathan about one of his songs, “Code Monkey.”
