Some ways to make money as a music artist can feel more out of reach or daunting than others. While that may be true for how SOME musicians make a living with music online (IE becoming a part-time cinematographer at gigs like me, lol) it doesn't have to be for all of them.

Things like building your own beat store or your own hub to sell the music production services you offer are super easy to do these days. And it's one way I do recommend people monetizing their craft. There is always going to be a need for music from someone.

Other ways would be by creating your own content (or filming content for others). Ad revenue from YouTube was one of the many ways I was even able to invest back into my studio. The money isn't always great in the music niche but when you can land those videos that do really well, and are searchable for years to come, you can earn a livable amount of passive income.

Aside from these ways, holding events and having shows will not only increase your artist presence but give you the chance to create an experience for an audience that would love to pay. Anyone can find your music streaming online. And not everyone is going to be looking for beats to buy or services offered from you. So, you'll also need to create these avenues for the average listener. Listening parties, performances, meet ups, you name it. Whatever the case, in-person experiences or just experiences in general to start are a great way to build your name, connect with your fans, and charge whatever ticket price you want for it.

These are just 5 of the ways that I make money. Most of which is not directly centered around my music at all but moreso the content I create around it. the industry is moving and we have to keep up with it while still keeping up with ourselves by staying true to our artistry. It is a delicate balance but one that I believe we can all achieve with the right amount of patience and information. So let me know if this helps!
