I used to think that music would be appreciated and simply bought by people - that was the case in the past. However, it seems that nowadays the focus has shifted to making videos and having pointless conversations for hours. No offense, maybe I'm just too old for all this social media stuff. I started my music journey in the late 80s also to avoid interacting with others, this is gruesome lol
@@Slynell1 Thanks to MP3 download and streaming platforms. Musicians can not make any money if they are not performing on stage or they are ridicilously succesfull like top 1%. Back in the day when people where actually buying music, you could make a decent living of it.
This "social media stuff" makes marketing music 10 times easier than it was in the 80s. Taylor Swift just sold 2.6 million copies of her new album and 700K of those sales were vinyl. Taylor is just one example, Kanye also sold about 200K his first week. So I'm not sure where you get the idea people don't buy or appreciate music anymore.
@@HypnoticHollywood They do appreciate but the total revenue of the music business had been reduced so much than it was before. Also I have said that the top %1 ( or even less ) scoops it all. The examples you have given proves that. I am sure not saying it is dead, it is just not as how it was.

This is basically a very stupid pyramid scheme (in creating music??). I really don't like these times, people are getting weirder, maybe I'll go off the grid altogether, the internet was fun in the first decade, now it's just lobotomy of greedy and crazy characters. There is a lively scene of people releasing music in old formats again, perhaps this is a way to save a bit of culture. Vinyl and cassettes are fun in a completely different way, I miss the old days a lot - music had another worth.
@@ArmaGeddon-iu1vv Probably we are in similar age group. Music was definitely different. But I tend to go a bit softer for this. Every decade has its own dynamics. This is the era we live in. And no one is forcing us to do anything if we don not want. It is that simple.
Aurelie, I'm really glad that you are moving forward with your career, and if you are making efforts in the direction you want and other people find it valuable, then no one can fault you for that. That's a decent income, although I don't know how hard and how many hours you have to work to make it happen. I think a lot of people who are commenting here, including myself, are kind of sensing that you've left the most important part out of the equation, which is actually making the music and the content. For me, I think that the love of music and interacting with other musicians to make great musical products should come first. You don't really cover that in your video here. Without talking about the content and the love of music, there is a risk that we are just building an empty scheme that feeds on itself. It might make a lot of money, but is it musically and emotionally satisfying? I can't answer that question for you or for anybody, but maybe you could touch on this in future videos. I like how you are including some references to tracks you've liked in your e-mail newsletters. I know you obviously like and enjoy music. It would be great if we could feel that in your content as well 😅
Totally understand but this is not like I put something inachievable like "$100k" haha. I just have to show the result of what those steps can bring you that's it :) Glad you found the video helpful!
Thats amazing you were able to grow and make a full time living off music in 2 years from scratch. Thats the dream. Such an inspiration. I'm going to study what you said. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Well don't forget that you have to pay taxes and business expense 😉 So this is gross revenue, not net haha 😅 You're welcome, you got this and I'm here to help if needed!!! 🔥
@@musicbyplv I am currently a song writer have music on all digital platforms, am good with editing and using skillshare to learn new skills. Do i really need to know algorithms as well as grpahic designing too haha?
Wow, very inspiring! You’re really smart with how you have broken it down. Amazing what you have done in 3 years, I’m a few months into my website where I’m writing blogs on Numerology, The subconscious mind and body language. I have no idea what I’m doing or how I can monetise my website (maybe I’ll write an ebook). I got back into FL studio and LOVE producing.
what was your reason to have all of your socials in english instead of your native language? Just for a bigger audience? Because with your native language you'd have less competition, right?
Legend! Incredible advice as always. Artists need to hear more success stories and less about the risks and challenges! Its possible if you follow the PLV formula and other like it :)
All these Utube artists. How do the majority of the big producers do it? Cause they don't have Utube channels. Having a Utube channel means your a video artist not a musician it seems. The consistant big seller's in any style don't have Utube channels. Why, they don't have time. There creating music not Utube videos,there is a difference. Take the time to get good enough that people will buy your music,not just watch a Utube video explaining how to make music. There are a few people on here who really are good producers and can give good advice on how to produce better music. Not produce Utube video and become a Utube artist. Show me really big name artist who has a weekly Utube channel ,that they spend time producing themselves. Not gonna happen. Spend the extra time learning to produce music not Utube videos.
Agree If you want to get to that level of productivity of producing something you can’t you are not wasting time on social bs ,Focus is on you and learning the skills and making contacts, not giving producing lessons.
Completely disagree, most of the RUclipsr's that I watch will tell you DO NOT rely on RUclips monetization. So, most of them use RUclips as a platform to get their name out and sell lessons, tutorials, and a lot of times big names will have them work on their projects just based on the fact they have a ton of subs. Some of them like Olaf is a working, gigging musician who just likes to share on RUclips.
this is helpful information, a very marketing saavy outlook on the music production and content game. but where can we listen to YOUR music? thank you my g
Thanks! Really happy you liked the approach :) All my songs are posted on this RUclips channel and there is a link to my Spotify in the description of all videos ;)
Haha I love the "I think" 😅 Did you register for the waitlist? I'm sending an email tomorrow that has all the information about the course. Or Im here if you have any questions too :)
@@musicbyplv I did. Its just that I recently enrolled for 4 trainings at once and that was a big mistake that costed me 1200$. Hopefully I will finish the one about music email marketing.
awesome content love it it is great to see it is still possible for me to make it in music industry at this moment i follow lessons with a mentor in ableton live. love producing songs also love drawing so i combine it both to make my channel also do like sports so i combine those 3 things into my YT channel looking forward to bright future
Why are you not trying to get a deal producing Your already damn good and you are talented don’t stick with just teaching unless you get a deal with some labels

You are right! Music made with love and for fun is not viable anymore. Pointless and bull!hit conversations is the trend

Seems like a lot of people make money by selling a course, service or a "dream" to people rather than the music itself which is a shame
Seems like a dreamer who gave up which is a shame.
Selling "success" books can be done without music, just promise successful success ❤️

$7k in a month is awesome, congrats! Hope you’re doing well 😊
Step 8 is good advice. "learning the lyrics" amazing work!
I don't typically lean to YT videos that put that "you can make $$ a month blah blah" but...this is somewhat practical advice, thank you.

But the cake would be smaller. So the overall market is smaller. More competition yes, but it comes with more income.
English basically functions as a global lingua-franca (interestingly it used to be French), so she is getting a wider audience doing this.
The value you giving is amazing don't stop😅

Hey t es super! Bravo et thank you miss plv!
So we are all getting coaches and teach each other?
And the music we make isn't even necessary at all. The music itself won't make money anyway.
Keep up the great work!!! Super inspiring.
Its been a few months since this video was posted, has anyone on here, tried this advice and succeeded a bit?
I hear crickets 🦗
Superbe vidéo, merci !
name revealed : o
Didn't I already say it on RUclips?? You might be right haha but because it's been a while it's been revealed on IG I forgot haha 😂
Not even into music production but this was an amazing video :D
Hahaha it CAN be applied for other niches for sure :) What do you do?
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
