Make Money Musician Tips. We will look at how you can make money as a musician without needing a record deal. When you start making money as a musician you can then quit your day job and focus on your music career full time.
First of all, let me point you towards my website where I have a free ebook called How To Promote Your Band On The Internet. I give loads of free information on howyou can use a website and the various forms of social networking to promote your music and make money online.
OK, there are many ways of making money as a musician. And if you have not got a record deal then you can still make use of the Internet to make money.
The most effective way to make money is to build up an email list. An email list is more powerful than a facebook or a myspace page because you can directly contact people via email. People who sign up to an email list are also much more likely to purchase your music.
To start building up an email list you should include email newsletter sign-up boxes in your social networking profiles andon your website. The Bandwordpress Theme already has an in-built email newsletter signup box for you to use.
When you have a list, start sending them freebies and cool info that people not on your list will not receive. Develop trust and a relationship so that when you do eventually market your music to them, they are more likely to buy.
Selling music on your website is a great way to make money online because there is very little expenditure. You can sell tracks as an MP3 download and completely bypass all the manufacturing and postage costs.
But ifyou also want to sell physical CDs then there is a better way of having to bulk order CDs from a manufacturer. You can create CDs on demand as orders come in.An online video course called New Music Economy shows you how to do this.
So if you are a musician and do not have a recordcontract, there is no reason just to sit around and wait for someone to sign you. Take action and sell your music yourself! For more help check out my free ebook at http://www.bandwordpresstheme.com
