If you want to earn money from music then you have come to the right place because here I will tell you how you can earn good money from music. I am a musician and I know that making a music career is a challenging task. But after today you will not feel like this because I will share some secrets and my personal experience with you. So definitely follow the five topics mentioned by me below:-
1. YouTube Channel
Monetization : YouTube is a great platform where artists can attract people and earn money by showing their art. If you think that you play good music and you can also teach this music to people, then you must create a YouTube channel. Because nowadays many artists on YouTube are earning money by teaching people different types of things and music is one of them. You can upload shorts videos instead of long videos. Because people like to consume short content first due to timing issues. You should upload a minimum of two shorts videos daily related to music. Whether it is related to singing or teaching any musical instruments. Your video should be in HD Quality with 9:16 aspect ratio. You have to maintain consistency for it. With time people will start liking your videos and then they will start subscribing to your YouTube channel. After this you will have to shift your content to long videos as per the interest of the people because your earning will be from long videos only. YouTube policy says your channel should have minimum 4000 hours watch time with 1K subscribers to monetize it.
Live Streaming : This is a very common and popular way to connect with people and earn from them. You can go live on YouTube and solve people’s problems. If people agree with your answer, they will send you some gifts in the form of Super Coins which will be shown as dollars in your YouTube account.
Course : Nowadays a way of earning money through YouTube is becoming very popular among people. What people do in this is that they make a course related to their niche. For example, if you are learning piano on YouTube, then you will make 8-10 videos of 30 to 40 minutes in which you will teach step-by-step how to play the piano. You will share all kinds of information in it from theory to practical. Then you will make a website on which you will upload that course and share its link among people and say that if you want to learn piano at a good price, then you can purchase this course from my website. I guarantee you, many people are willing to pay for the course because they need it.
Paid Collaboration : If you have at least 10K active followers on YouTube, then you can also earn good money through paid collaboration. You have to find big YouTube channels of your nich and see which company they are promoting in between the videos. You have to search for the name of that company/brand on Google as well as Instagram and contact them. You can tell them that my name is XYZ and I have a YouTube channel with 10K active followers, I will be very happy if you give me a chance to work with you. If the company is impressed by your message, then they will tell you the whole procedure that you have to promote our brand in this way and for this, we are ready to give you this much money and the interesting thing is that when you complete 100K followers on your YouTube channel, then you do not need to go to any company/brand, they will bring paid collaboration to you themselves.
2. Music App
You can create your music app which you can publish on both PlayStore for android devices and App Store for IOS devices. For example, you can take the example of Walk Band or Bandlab App. These two apps are very popular among people because, with these two apps, people can create a complete song sitting at home. You will also have to create some music apps as per the needs of the people which become popular among the people, after that, you can monetize it and earn a good amount of money through music sitting at home.
3. Live Performance
Live performances are a significant source of income for musicians and singers. If you are a beginner, you should start with small restaurants that have live performance facilities, Collage Fest and birthday parties etc. You can promote/share your performance on social media i.e. YouTube, Facebook Instagram, etc. So that people can know that you have this talent, and in the future, if they need such an artist then they will contact you first.
