There are many, many ways to make money with your own music.
The first thing you need to do, though, is break it down into pieces, or
components we will call them.
There are 4 key components to any track, or song. You have
soundsets, which are nothing more than beats, sounds, scratches, etc. You have
loopsets, which are your soundsets when put together in a loop. You have
instrumentals, which are completed tracks with no voice or lyrics. Finally, you
have completed tracks, which are basically just instrumentals that include
lyrics.
When you look at music from this angle, broken down into
components, you will start to see many ways to make money with your own. Like I
mentioned at the beginning of this report, people are not only paying for
completed tracks, they are also paying for the components individually. If you
can create you own, good components, people will buy them.
Again, search the Internet for these components. Doing so
will not only show you how much you can sell your components for, but also
where you can sell them. As long as people are listening to music, there will
always be a demand for it, and I can't see people stopping anytime soon.
If you are interested in learning how to make money with
your own beats in more detail, I recommend you check out Bob Bakers website
