10 Ways your music can make you more money
Today we’re diving into 10 extra ways you can monetize your music — and how SoundBirth can help you turn your creativity into long-term income 💸.
🚀 Streaming (Smarter)
Sure, your music’s on Spotify. But are you using tools like Spotify for Artists, Campaign Kit, or YouTube’s Super Thanks? SoundBirth helps you centralize your links, optimize your profiles, and pitch your releases for better results. Need more help? We’ll give you a tool at the end of the newsletter.
🎤 Live Shows
Live is important! Promote your tour dates, connect with fans, and build your artist brand using SoundBirth’s marketing toolbox.
📹 YouTube Monetization
With Content ID and channel memberships, YouTube is still a top revenue source. At SoundBirth, we help artists grow their audience and promote releases through optimized YouTube strategies.
📱 User-Generated Content (UGC)
Music on TikTok? Reels? Shorts? Monetize every second your track is used, and use SoundBirth’s Marketplace to boost the streams. Crack the game here!
📦 Bandcamp & Direct Sales
Sell downloads, merch, and subscriptions directly to fans. Use SoundBirth to generate links in your bio & boost your sales.
🎮 Video Games & Sync
Gaming playlists and sync placements in movies, ads, or micro-content can generate real income. Instrumental versions of your tracks, strong hooks, or unique moods can all make the difference. Make sure your music is ready, find your niche—and don’t sleep on opportunities outside the mainstream.
💽 Sample Packs & Merch
Got a unique sound? Package it. Got a strong visual identity? Print it. With SoundBirth, you’ll find ways to highlight your artistic universe and promote it across channels.
📀 Vinyl Sales
Old school? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely. Build collector buzz around your releases and make them tangible again.
📣 Influencer & Brand Collabs
Partner with like-minded creators or brands. Whether you’re hyping a friend’s show or co-creating content with micro-influencers, SoundBirth’s Marketplace connects you with potential collaborators.
📱 Micro-Sync Opportunities
From YouTube videos to podcasts and social media content, micro-sync deals are everywhere—and they pay. Even smaller placements can stack up over time. Keep your catalog accessible and varied to boost your chances of landing these quick wins across multiple platforms.
💡 Bottom Line:
You deserve to be paid for every version, view, and vibe your music creates. Let SoundBirth be your toolbox to unlock every revenue stream available. 🔓
