Many newbie producers may dream about stardom and fame, but there are better ways to monetize a song. Why would people want fame and fortune with people always recognizing who you are? People always make up their own minds about celebrities after all and much of the time, those opinions are rather negative. Who in their right minds would want that?

In this post, I am going to show you how you can make money with your whole track. You will see why I say that if you read on…

1 Monetize a Song by Releasing it as Royalty-Free Music

As a big fan of WeMakeDanceMusic, I release my songs as royalty-free. This means that people who purchase your songs can use them in multiple ways. These ways can include online, radio, or television advertising. Other customers for your royalty-free music may also include clubs, radio, or mobile DJs who want to play something different. Furthermore, we should also consider the countless numbers of YouTubers who want music for their videos. Where do they get their music from? Production music libraries and other sites like WeMakeDanceMusic.

2 Monetize a Song by Selling the Stems

Another way that you can make money with your music is by selling the stems. These are the WAV files that can be used to make remixes of your original work. This means that people will use your sounds to create their own versions of our music. There is also a market for this on WeMakeDanceMusic.

In order to create the entire stem pack, you should bounce the MIDI to WAV format. I have included the video below that shows you how to do this in FL Studio 20. It is quite similar to other DAWS. Therefore, if you need to find out how to do this, simply do a YouTube search.

For the video and three more ways to make money with your song just go to…
