Why Alabasta complements YouTube for gospel artists
YouTube is where people find you. Alabasta is where they pay you, rally you, and put you on air.
What YouTube does well
Discovery. Music videos. Testimony clips. Free reach.
What YouTube doesn't do
- Pay indie gospel artists fairly (ad revenue is tiny unless you're huge)
- Run a gospel jukebox with chart fairness (24/7 live stream at Phase 2)
- Let fans put your song on radio rotation for $5
- Let auntie sponsor an Interrupt for $50 — full song on air
- Let fans share your Artist Home with every action button built in
- Run a community pool that pays every 113 days
Use both — but make Alabasta home base
Post clips on YouTube. Link to your Artist Home. Drive fans to the jukebox where money has instructions.
