Would you like to earn money from music? Have you been earning money but would like to increase your income from music? Would you like to venture into new music related income streams?

If you would like to make a full time or part time living from music, this is the course for you.

In this course you will learn how to make money from music. This is not as daunting or as complex as it seems: we look at several different income streams which are easily accessible to musicians at any point in their careers, even if you do not yet have a huge following. The lectures are very practical and you will be able to put what you learn into practice quickly.


Have you been feeling frustrated that your dedication to music hasn't been paying off financially?  At last there is practical, actionable information that will help you start seeing the results you want from your music.

After leaving my 'sensible day job' due to a serious health condition, I signed a music publishing contract and have been earning money exclusively from music ever since. Not only have I earned money, I have worked with acclaimed and lovely people, travelled extensively and grown as a person. My music business is also a way of life! Many of me students tell em that they find this course practical and 'real world friendly' because online some other courses on this topic it doesn't require you to have an in depth knowledge of business or relate only to working with massive corporations (although a few of those are in here, too!). If you have never run your own business, all the steps you need to put into place to start making income in a self employed capacity are here.


WORKING A PORTFOLIO

Most pro musicians work a portfolio, meaning they make money from several different sources. In this course you will learn how to make money from several income streams in the music industry for a sustainable music career, including:


  • Live performance

  • Selling CDs and merchandise

  • Session work

  • Teaching

  • Songwriting and music publishing

  • Music Licensing (placing your music in film, TV, games etc)

  • Streaming and selling digital content



This course will help you find the right combination for you of these areas of work to make an income. We also look at practical things such as which organisations to sign up to so you are paid royalties, places to go for professional development and contracts that make sure you are paid fairly.

We will also look at writing a music business plan and building your professional profile. The course includes information on the going rate for specific music industry services and should help you to set up your own small music business.

You will have my personal support as you do so: I love to be asked questions and give feedback on students' music.
