Do you ever find yourself daydreaming about what it would be like to get paid for doing something you love? Well, that daydream can become a reality, as there are now many ways to make money by listening to music online.
In this article, we’ll introduce you to 5 different ways you can start earning money by listening to music. Whether you’re a casual listener or a dedicated music fan, there’s sure to be a method on this list that’s perfect for you.
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
1. PlaylistPush
If you’re a Spotify user, then you’ll be pleased to know that there’s a service called PlaylistPush that allows you to earn money by submitting your music to popular Spotify playlists.
The way it works is simple: first, you create an account on the PlaylistPush website. Then, you browse through the available playlist opportunities and submit your track for consideration. If your track is approved by the playlist curator, it will be added to the playlist and you’ll earn a fee for every stream it generates.
The amount of money you can earn per stream depends on the popularity of the playlist and how many streams it generates in total. However, PlaylistPush says that most artists earn between $0.005 and $0.01 per stream, which means that you could potentially earn $5-$10 for every 1,000 streams your track generates.
Not bad for simply submitting your music to a few popular Spotify playlists!
2. Sell Your Music on iTunes & Amazon Music
If you’re an independent artist with your own music to sell, then iTunes and Amazon Music are two great places to start. Both platforms offer easy-to-use tools that allow you to upload your tracks and set your own price point. Once your music is live, you’ll earn royalties every time someone purchases one of your tracks.
The amount of money you can earn per sale varies depending on the price point you set for your tracks and the percentage cut taken by iTunes and Amazon Music (usually around 30%). However, if you sell a lot of tracks at a high price point, then it’s possible to make quite a bit of money from these platforms.
