music artists and entrepreneurs what's good Mike Sarge here from my MikeSarge.com
And it's the new year you already know what time it is
I'm so excited to start off the New Year with you and because it's the new year
well I'm started off the right way which means I'm gonna start off this month by
answering the four questions that I get the most starting with if I'm in music
how in the world do I make money I don't know I never thought I'd get this far
and as always you don't want to miss this one so go ahead and hit that
subscribe button - even the subscribe button looking New too.. oh man let's work
salutes to that all right so before we really get this going I need to put out
some disclaimers real quick disclaimer number one alright this is assuming that
your content is good alright you're trying to make money off of off music
and being within the music industry this is assuming that your music is good and
this is assuming that your content is good alright if it's not good I do not
want you guys expect any people you know I don't want you guys expecting people
to to buy your stuff to buy into your brand when it's not quality right and I
don't want you guys ended up like my boy Squidward and the other disclaimer
please do not watch this video and assume these are the only ways to make
money within music there are a bevy of ways in which you can make money within
music actually do your research study and and put that knowledge to the test
alright so tip number one sell your music duh now what I mean by selling
your music I'm talking about distribution and I'm talking about
streaming when I say distribution I'm talking about selling your music on
iTunes I'm talking about Google Play amazon.com places like that where people
can buy your music and when I talk about streaming obviously you know that I'm
talking about Spotify I'm talking about title I'm talking about Apple music I'm
talking about Pandora as well and also don't forget YouTube is a
part of streaming I know so often we watch so many videos and we don't think
twice about it but YouTube watching you know views on YouTube it counts as
streaming so that means if you are a music producer and you sell beats you
need to have videos of your beats you need to have a youtube channel so
artists can check out your stuff and artists fans singers musicians you need
to have a youtube channel as well so you can show off what you can do you know
for singers you know the fastest way to get content is to make covers of your
favorite songs so make sure that you're doing it it counts once you get a
certain number of subscribers I believe it's a thousand you can start monetizing
on those streams so again streaming is another way in which you
can make money off your music alright so the first tip is sell your music but
this next tip is sell your brand alright so you're probably wondering what in the
world do you mean by sell my brand merchandise so some examples of this
sell some t-shirts wristbands CDs posters stickers flash drives
sidenote which also means if you're gonna sell these things you need to have
one a place where you can sell these items like a website and number two you
need to make sure that you have a presence online and offline as in you're
actually traveling you're going out to different places within your city within
your county within your state and maybe within your Coast another way to make
money off your music is through licensing and getting placements now for
artists when I say placements I'm talking about finding ways to get your
music within you know on radio within commercials with in TV shows video games
things like that that's what I mean when I say placements and if you're a music
producer what I mean my placement says you know working with artists that are
actually talented so when they blow your stuff is is a part of their journey and
so people can they'll always ask you know and this happens a lot for rappers
where you know if I released a really good song and people like it they're
like yo who made that beat for you and that's a quick plug for that producer so
now other artists are gonna go check them out so if you're a music producer
make sure that you're working with talented artists and not just working
with anyone another way to make money off your music is crowdfunding for those
of you that have a small following or just a big enough following to where
people really want to invest in what you're doing you can set this up you can
set your account as if it's a subscription to say like a
Netflix or something like that so what ended up happening you make a promise to
your fans through your followers and you say hey if you sign up for this
subscription whether it's you know ten dollars a
month twenty dollars a month whatever you said it at um you know you'll give
them two songs a month or a song a month or they get a free t-shirt every other
month or something like that you get to determine the terms but that's a steady
income that's coming to you from people that really want to support you alright
so those tips are ones that you guys have probably heard if you've been doing
it for music for a little while so now I want to get into some other ones that
people tend to forget about when they're trying to make money okay once if I
would give is if you have a venue or you have a big enough house or apartment
throw a house party alright throw a house party in charge like five at the
door five at the door then you guys get to you get to determine the rules
because it's your place or it's your buddy's place if you guys want to have
drinks there you want to have food there you want to turn it up loud you can just
you guys can control the climate and people that have never heard of you they
can check you out you know through connections and friends you know friends
of your friends family members of your friends of your family members and
things like that so have a house party and maybe charge five at the door that's
the easy way now let's say you have a particular skill alright so say you're a
really good singer right or you're a musician and you play a particular
instrument whether that's the you know the guitar or or the you know the piano
or something like that why not have singing lessons you know why not have
lessons for playing that instrument so you can make some money in just charts
per hour I'm pretty sure you can find some you know young people in your area
that are trying to get better at playing and they want someone that's experienced
that can actually show them how to play better so try that alright so from our
producers right um and I do not see this enough I don't I don't understand why I
don't see this enough why are producers not selling beat tapes
beat tape so what does the B tape so artists you know music artists we
release EPS we release albums of our music as a producer you can sell a B
tape which essentially is a project of you know beats that you've selected and
me as an artist I would buy your B tape to hear these beats and because I bought
it I can then use them for my next project all right so our producers
please make beat tapes release them and also if your producer make sure that if
there are other producers wanting to have your secrets or you know you figure
out what type of plugins you use what vsts you use all right make a drum kit
for that you know what are the snares that you use what are the kicks that you
use you know that the sound effects and things like that make a kit for that and
sell that that's another way that you can bring your revenue now if you're a
sound engineer if you're the type of person that you know you genuinely stay
behind the scenes but you're really good with mixing and mastering you know how
to make a song sound good then why don't you do that why don't you find other
artists in your area regardless of genre talk to them listen to their music and
go like hey like this is a pretty good song but I believe it could get to the
next level if you let me make some master a matter of fact you may even you
may even because I know I've done this in the past where I'll tell an artist
hey I will mix a master a track for you for free or maybe even a song that you
are you know already released if you sent me those files like I'll show you
my version of that very same mix and then they get an idea of how good you
are and then maybe for their next release they'll want to work with you
you know exclusively and they'll want to pay you for your next project so take
that into account what do you bring to the table sometimes it's not always
about asking all the time sometimes it's about giving and that's it you know a
easy way for you to make a little bit more income now while I'm on the route
of services because I mention music services but that also goes with things
visually alright so if you are good with graphics if you're a graphic designer if
you can make album cover single covers quality ones if you can make good fliers
things like that that is another way for you to bring in revenue as well and then
the last thing I'm going to give is for your recording services look many of you
have your own home studio right you have your own space because you can't afford
to go to a regular studio and make it happen but if you know you have other
friends that have the same struggle as you as far as finding a place to record
then why not offer your spot if you're able to and say like hey I'll record you
you know I'll record you for this many songs for this
that's the easy way to make some cash believe me do you know how many artists
are in your area that they're just looking for a place to record and they
want to do it they don't want to just do it anyone they want to do it with
someone they trust well why not do it with someone they know like just think
like I said these aren't all the ways to make money when it comes to music there
are plethora of ways that people make music there are people that are making
music off of their royalties from their performance performance royalties there
are people that are making music from doing music reviews doing just reviews
on someone else's album or EP right there are people within music that are
making money off shooting music videos and things like that there are many ways
to make money with their music you just have to find that niche you have to find
that thing that you're comfortable with that you love doing anyway within music
and allowing it to be a source of income for you now I know a few of you guys
felt like man I went through that really really fast and I didn't really go in
depth compared to most of my videos that's okay I'm going to be having
future videos where I'm actually breaking down step by step a lot of the
things that I mentioned so do not fret do not worry I just want to throw that
you know quick little plug in your ear so that you can get going so you don't
have to wait on someone in order to you know start funding yourself for your
career and like I asked at the end of every episode did you like this video if
