In this blog we will explain how you can start to make money from music.

Presuming you are a musician, you will most likely have spent a lot of time crafting new music. Now you need to get it out there but also make money from your hard work. Here, we will give you advice and tips on how to get your songs out whilst earning an income.

A great way to start selling your songs is at gigs. Record your music and take disks of your songs to gigs. Although this seems an old fashioned method, it does still work. Therefore, make the crowd aware that they can purchase a disk from you. Also be sure to let them know that they can stream your music on Spotify and Apple Music (If you are on there).

Also, musicians now find that they make money through tickets sales and merchandise. Therefore, make sure to play gigs which bring a financial return and also sell merchandise at the shows as well as on your official website.

If you have a band website, this is a great tool for selling your music. Give the customer a preview of the best part of the song (The hook). This will encourage the customer to then either purchase it or visit your official streaming platforms.

Copyright Your Music

Most importantly remember to copyright all your songs and ensure that you are a member of a royalty collecting society. This will ensure that every time your music is played on the radio or broadcast through TV, then you will receive a royalty income.

Enjoy writing and selling music. If you do not start making revenue at first, then do not let this dishearten you. Thousands of musicians do not make an income from their music at first. But keep consistent and work hard and you will achieve your objectives.
