Unique Ways to Make Money using your Musical Prowess
So, you want to make it big, you want to be a star, but you have a few more hurdles to clear before you reach stardom. There are other ways for you to get money, while also building connections and staying in practice using your musical talent.
Make music for games: There are many game creators, indie and professional alike, who need music for their games. You can take on commissions, or sell your music. A perk to this is that it could help propel you as games like movies have credits that appear upon completion. This can be a great way to get your foot in the door and potentially gain some new fans.
Offer to teach others: It’s always fun to learn something you are interested in. Tutorials and how-to videos tend to get a lot of views and likes. If you need to make some money why not offer to teach others? Whether it be how to play an instrument or create a beat using software. If you have a skill or talent there is someone out there who wants to learn it, and that’s where you come in. Besides by teaching others, the material is being reinforced for you as well.
Create a cover song: Sometimes you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Creating a cover song can be a fantastic way to pay homage to something you, yourself are a fan of. You can also create parodies like “Weird Al” Yankovic. It can be a fun way to give your own spin to a song you like. In creating parodies or covers you can interact with your fans in a unique way. You are expressing you like for a particular song or style, and this message is being conveyed to your fan
