And as an ever-burgeoining (read: never finished anything important)writer, what is the answer?
Volume. Some of the $.99 cent authors on Amazon supposedly do very well.

Your comment about IT is spot on, the Internet made ideas and experience almost worthless.
The rules are different on the Internet. It's a very feast or famine media. If you can get the right exposure you'll do ridiculously well, if you can't get the exposure, you might as well not exist. If Baloo is right about how little money artists get from digital music then the answer may very well be to take the music off the services. Don't sign with a record label, use social media to market your band and sell your music directly from your website.

Yeah I've heard this too, good point.
Can music artists do the same thing?

A really good idea. But once that song is out there once, it's over. The wonder of digital music is its ubiquity. Sadly, that's the same place that can unravel everything.
I'd say an answer is for small labels to organize around music streaming services that they create. But again, people don't want to belong to multiple streaming services, they want one.
