Business plan for independent musician/band to succeed on the web. Provide your content for free, using bittorrent, on your own site. Here you can say something like "Vote with your pennies!" "Check out my songs, listen to them, and come back to rate them for me. Rate it from 0 to 100 by paying me a penny per point. A song that rates a hundred is easily worth a dollar." And provide the ability to enter any amount. Those that REALLY like it, or place a higher value, or are just generous will give more than a dollar. And be responsive to the votes. Keep a commentary on the site. And you have to produce content on a regular basis.
