How to make a TON of Money selling Your music Online


Did you know you can make a ton of money from your music and NEVER even sign a record deal? It’s true, and that’s exactly how you wind up getting the massive deals that they just don’t hand out anymore. You have to be able to prove to the record labels that you don’t need them. You have to be doing it on your own. The good part is, it’s not that hard to do.
Here’s something even better that you may have not even thought about yet. Let’s throw the record deals away for a second and just think local. Did you know you can make a killing just locally with your music? Every town has that one spot that if you can get a gig there, you’ve done something right? Well, I’m going to show you how you can get that gig and make plenty of money from the process!
Even if your goal is to simply get your first gig and then work your way up, what I’m going to show you in the video on the next page will give you such an advantage over the rest of the musicians others will be forced to sit up and take notice, including the record labels.

Step By Step Guide to Making Money

CD Sales: If you’re going to be playing live shows, having CDs on hand is still a good idea. They make great takeaway souvenirs that can easily be signed by band members.
Vinyl Sales: Vinyl sales surged 30% in 2013. Again, if you’ll be playing live shows, printing a small batch to have at your merch table can help generate extra income.
Digital Sales: You should be selling digital music through your own websiteto make the most money, but also through online retailers. Keep in mind for your budget that online retailers take a percentage of sales (ex. iTunes takes 30%, Bandcamp takes 15%), and some digital distributors that get your music into places like iTunes and Amazon will take a cut on top of that.
Streaming: Although per-stream payouts from streaming services can be rather small, they can add up over time, and these services can also help new fans discover your music.
Publishing Royalties: You should be signed up to a performing rights organization so you can collect royalties on your music, including public performance royalties (radio, TV, live venues), mechanical royalties (sales through retailers, streaming, etc.), and sync royalties (commercials, film, TV).
Digital Royalties: Whenever your music is played on services like SiriusXM radio, Pandora and webcasters, they must pay royalties. You should sign up for a free SoundExchange account to make sure you’re getting those royalties.
Licensing: If you get your song placed in a film, commercial, or TV show, chances are they’re going to pay you a licensing fee. These fees depend on the budget for the project, and how badly they want your song.
YouTube: On YouTube, whenever your music is used in videos that are running ads, YouTube pays a portion of that advertising money to the rights holders of the song. Audiam is one company that can help you collect this money.

Book this band

1. What is the process of hiring a band?
 We begin by discussing the type of music you’re looking for, the type of event, the nature of your guests and audience, and your budget. Based these criteria we send you information such as demo CDs, videos, photos, bios, songlists on several appropriate bands. Most of this information is also available through this website. In addition, we can often provide references and a chance to see the band perform live. 
Once you've decided on a band, your agent will negotiate with the band to get YOU the best price. Once a price is agreed upon, we issue contracts. You’ll sign and return the contracts along with an advance deposit. Once the artist has returned the contracts a completed copy is mailed to you and the show is officially booked.
