Hi guys,
it's been a while since I have been on here and it has also been a while since I made tracks.
Now, after a change in my job I have more spear time and want to get back into making tunes. So I have been making music for seven years and I have tons of unfinished loops and old tracks. Now I have gotten a lot better at mixing and feel as if I should try to make some passive income with something I do anyways.
I have some neurofunk tracks and then other genres and styles which, I feel, are more mainstream, that I would like to get out there.
After 4 days of researching (litarelly about 25 hours) I am more confused than before.
I have read tons of bad reviews just about any digital distribution site (such as ditto, feiyr, tunecore, etc.). They are also quite expensive.
If I want to sell to DJs, it seems it would be best to set up your own label and sell directly, but that's also a lot of effort and money.
On the other hand you can sell royalty free stock music on sites such as audio jungle.
To be honest I would like to sell licenced music and get roaylties, but I don't have much funds. I would be willing to pay fees, if I felt I would get a return on my investements. But right now, I have no clue how to proceed, besides making my own website and selling from there (which also comes with effort and investements).
No matter what option I consider, it seems most of them cost money.
So my questions are:
Have any of you been making money with tracks one way or the other? If yes, what strategy do you persue?
What's the best way to try selling your tracks without being screwed and spending tons of money to even get the chance?
Have you, or are you using an digital dsitribution service? If yes, which ones and why? Made any bad experiences, or good?
Are you selling royalty free stock music? If yes, where and why?
Have you had any success with any of these sites or services?
I need some real data and experiences from people, which is hard to find online.
I am a no-name artist and want to use my tracks somehow to at least fund my equipment, which I spent lots of money on. So, do any of you have any advice, or experiences you can share?
Thanks for any and all replies!
