I have been learning from you almost 1 year thank you so much for sharing I have several albums on Spotify , but just uploaded my first song Down the long an winding road, recorded in my home studio 67 it will be on iTunes Spotify an more Jan,18 thank you so much Michael Ken✌️
I feel there are 2 types of people/reactions when someone watches this video - those who get excited and motivated, and those who get discouraged and frustrated.
@marcotrosi working on playing the game now. Learning about algorithms and how to release stuff and amas a following. I'm either drinking the cool aid, or making the best choice of my life. Not sure yet
@@DustinHaggerty-lj1ix you can only win, when doing nothing the outcome is predetermined, but trying gives you the chance for more and the minimum of having something learned and gaining experience, and maybe even more than that. hard work will pay out. I wish you all the best.
Huge respect to you Joe! I had subscribed to your channel years ago (31 days to better recording free pdf era & before that). I had unsubscribed from your channel last few years ago. But now I'm back to learn more. I think now what you tell makes more sense or let's say relevant to me because now I'm a full-time musician and I also offer production services. Back then I was not implementing enough of your advice. But now, I have more chances of implementing, and like you said, making music for clients will teach you a lot! Anyway, thank you so much for providing such great value for such a long time! And listening to my self-talk out of gratitude towards you. Because your videos I watched back then have influenced me. Many of the things you told in this video which I already know of are actually things that I learnt from your videos & free pdfs back then! Thank You again! 😇🙏🏻
Great video. I believe that our 16 years old self could never dream about making a living from those income sources because they didn’t exist at the time and we had a very romantic idea about recording and touring. As we get older, we see things differently and give priority to balancing work and family. Nowadays, being a rock star is not what I would consider a good career. At some point in the past, I was playing gigs five times a week. Now, I barely leave my home studio.
Great video, Joe! Other possible revenue streams: Making synth/software patches/presets; making sample packs; submitting to music libraries; scoring corporate video presentations; I'm sure there a few that we both haven't mentioned.
Dear Joe, i'm so grateful for all the contents you provide on your channel !! I'm french and I started following you during the covid period when i was using my free time to record my music, i was a beginner. You are not only talking about music but about life in your ideos !! I think you became a better musician and artiste like you said, but also a better man and it's the same for your followers, !! It's what i love !! Before talking about gear, software, hardware and skills, you always recommend to use our personal qualities, like our ears, our brain, our feelings, and you are so right !! I am thinking about earn money with my music and you are still there to give me the good tips !! Thank you so much for being human, wise, bright and normal...And listening to you, i'm improving my english too, it's easy to understand you, you are really a good teacher !
I've been recording for 35 years as an artist and an engineer. I was fortunate enough to live in NYC and do relatively well with my band at the time. Worked with a lot of great people in great studios with great gear. After we left NYC, I ended up going to grad school for writing in Iowa and now I make my living doing review and commentary on consumer tech. The more I do that, the more I wish I'd made music more of what my channel does. Not sure how to square that circle, but I've enjoyed watching your videos a lot over the years. You're one of the only "studio recording RUclipsrs" I've watched regularly for a long time.
I’ve gotten really good over the last year with recording, mixing and mastering on Studio one Pro and Presonus! I love it and can’t get enough. I’m ready to start finding people to produce songs, content, jingles, voice over and I’m also a musician looking to be a session player. I have been a pro musician for 30+ years and can’t do live shows anymore due to health issues. I work out of my basement for production. I’m good with a lot of other aspects of music and art and am all in but I’m a bit intimidated but I’m going forward. Thanks for helping me!
Joe, your video is the most encouraging I have seen since I started watching RUclips in 2017 following you and other industry notables. Thanks for sharing your income numbers. And congratulations you have done well and that keeps the dream alive for those of us watch your videos. Have an awesome new year!
Hi Joe. What I love about your videos (apart from your knowledgeable and personable delivery) is that you give great value first, with no strings attached. Because of that, you deserve every dollar you make thereafter. So, paradoxically, I think the greatest strength of your business 'model' is the non-profit part. It opens the door and your generous approach makes it easy for people to come to you - if they so choose - with money. With respect and thanks for the help your videos have given me so far. I'm a huge fan.
This is a really good “reality hits” video. On point, for sure! I was really helped by your course, though life sorta dictated a late landing for me, (just released my first single on Dec. 29, 2023…deadlines work)… and I continue to use methods you teach, ie get a great sounding dry mix, every time I hit the studio. I am very glad that the advise given by my father to “get a vocation to fall back on and you can buy as many amplifiers as you want to” is something that I heeded and walked through…thanks Dad (rip)… PS, love Studio One…cheers!
Hey Joe! Great video as always my man! My name is Tim Ash, I am a singer/songwriter/lead worshipper and all around music/gear nerd. I toured for 25+ years independently and have pretty much stopped all of that (except a few acoustic gigs here and there) to pursue most of the stuff you mentioned in this video and be home with my family every night.I have a home studio for writing/mixing and started my podcast STORIES + SONGS in January of 2023. I am excited to hear we have a mutual friend in Tommy Z.! I recently signed up for his masterclass and am almost finished/ready to start churning out some music for brands.Your channel has been very instrumental in my decisions to shift gears and pursue this "stay at home" mentality. Thank you for doing what you do my friend.
Your point at the end about being fulfilling and creative are keys for any ventures in life. Great overview of your journey Joe! I am even using Studio One Pro more now...
Wow great video,I started studio 67 after years of playing and recording albums that now live on platforms such as Spotify, iTunes so on this video is so good make one think out of the box,, Thankx Joe
Great video Joe! You presented an important topic, i.e., making money in the music business, that's rarely covered. One thing I'm surprised that you didn't mention is the symbiotic relationship between your various sources of income. Specifically, I've got to believe that, given the fact that a large part of your income is derived from courses and memberships and you have 11 other sources of income, those contribute directly and indirectly to your overall success. Given that less than 5% of your income has come from networking in Nashville per your reply to another comment to this video, it's obvious to me that the indirect source of a fair amount of your income is the interest and goodwill that you generate from your internet-related activities, including your RUclips and PreSonus' RUclips channels. Speaking personally, I discovered you on your RUclips channel when I was researching studio recording. I have watched and enjoyed many of your YT videos as well as several of your PreSonus YT videos. Wishing you continued success!
Enjoyed the vid and thanks for the encouragement! One thing I'm starting to get into is taking all the skills in recording and performing I have and create videos of me playing all the instruments. This also gets me into video editing but also helps to develop and refine the skills I have.
Joe, my first comment is a question really. If I'm not mistaken you live in Nashville which is one of the hotbeds of the music industry (with LA, London and possibly New York City). How much would you say of your income is made possible by the fact that you live where you live? If nothing else, how much would you say it made it easier to network with other musicians and producers by living there? Thanks for all you do as always
For what its worth ... I live in NorCal but its still 750 miles from some studios in Hollywood. But your point is a good one although not as valid as it once was: Location location location. You have to connect with people.
Yes, I do live in the Nashville area. but it hasn’t been a big factor in my income. I’m sure there is a level of credibility I get from simply living here, but if I had to put a number on it, I would say less than 5% of my income has come from “networking“ in Nashville. My most profitable relationships have come through meeting people on the Internet, over RUclips, etc..
@Joe Gilder Home Studio pertaining to the Service section: being that I have a home studio session work sounds exciting to me since I just had someone reach out to me asking to use my studio to do a recording session. Simultaneously, I feel somewhat nervous also pertaining to the service section as in regards to mixing, mastering,,and production as it’s something I really want to learn. However, every time I start watching and trying to learn from tutorials here on RUclips, I get overwhelmed and intimidated by the process.
Feeling nervous is normal. The idea of putting yourself out there can be really scary. As far as learning how to mix and master, I know that I am incredibly biased, but I would take a course rather than trying to figure it out from random RUclips videos. Doesn’t have to be my course, but courses are better structured to help you understand the process on a deeper level. Plus the fact that you paid for it will make you more likely to actually do something with it. www.homestudiocorner.com/mix
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a composer and amateur producer planning to improve producing and maybe one day use some of the 13 paths you've mentioned.
In my music experiences, people who consider themselves "sellouts," or other musicians and DJ sellouts, are the ones who stayed stuck in an OLD world while myself, and others moved on and advanced in our creations, flexibility and expansion..
Thanks Joe for all the years of training and motivation. You're videos have always been a blessing and a big help! One of the ideas that came to my mind also is Live Broadcast Mixing Services.
This might be apply more to my own genre (electronic music), but I've found various opportunities in local venues. Since I'm still pretty new to production but have a knack for technology and equipment, I got involved with venues that don't have enough people who can do lights or fill in as a sound engineer (people who do it on a "professional" level often get busy with bigger gigs and bigger venues). It became my way of making some extra cash and also allows me to get more involved in the scene. Now I'm also considering learning more about visuals. So in general, I saw that there are sooooo many people who want to be performers, but not enough of them can cover the technical part either due to lack of proper knowledge, or just don't want to for other reasons.
i used to record and mix my own songs all of the time. I started sending my stems to better producers and engineers for a better mix and ended up neglecting my own skills. It's time i get back to it.
Each streaming and SOCIAL MEDIA platform provides alternate and broader ways to reach audiences for selling IP. It’s about long tail of channels to audiences. Good video!
Joe, I've been searching for awhile now and I know it's probably going to be am easy thing lol. I know you can drag and drop an audio event to a different track but is there a keyboard shortcut to move that event up one track like on protools?
I want to get really good at producing music and invite people to my home studio to record. I would like to be able ot earn money from this and having artist coming in and out will help me build connections, inspire me, and make me a better muscian. This scares me but I will do it
Hi Joe, could you recommend any albums or songs that you consider as a good reference for lead vocal and background vocal mixing? Or maybe any engineer names.
I'm a hobbyist musician who achieved a goal of putting out an album that I recorded myself. So far I've made a few cents on Spotify and a few dollars on Bandcamp, but I have not done real marketing. Meanwhile I can make dollars per day on a blockchain platform. I know that word turns a lot of people off so I won't mention the name, but there are options beyond the big corporations.
Great video! Is there a way to go through the steps of creating a business for musicians? For example, how can I create my own business as a mix engineer? Or maybe an live sound engineer?
I'm 29 years old and my parents still make a point to remind me that music is nothing but a hobby. I'll show them a song or something and they won't compliment the song. They'll just say, "Wow what a great hobby you got there" lol They'll reluctantly admit it's good, but they don't think that matters. I know exactly what they're doing. Not sure why they feel the need though, because I've never once suggested quitting my job for music. They just know it's a goal of mine and they don't want it to be. They want me to be a nurse or some shit
Hey Joe.I've been a big fan of you,Graham and Dueling mixes.My situation is I was born without ears and I mix with headphones.I know there people out there with similar conditions.I've always wanted to set up a platform for the hearing impaired.I'm living proof that it's possible to record,mix,master and release viable music to the social media.I've released 2 single and am working on my 10 song EP.If the desire is there go for it and don't let anything keep you from what you love....making music.........
🤔So basically, being just an artist won't make you money? Because streaming pays penny, touring is complicated and i said being an artist not a engineer or promoter, or teacher etc im aksing is there any hope of making money as just an artist?
There will always be a lot of money to be made as an artist. Genuine artists are so rare these days. Me and so many of my friends are constantly looking for genuine artist cause music is so watered down to us right now. So much money out here for artists that can keep it real with themselves and in turn keeping it real with the fans that connect with their true selves. Just saying
That’s one way of looking at it. But everyone listened to music in the 70s and there was ZERO chance anyone would hear your music unless a record label picked you. Today people can hear your music. To me that’s happy not sad.
Hey Joe, awesome video! I've always wanted to make money just performing music for people and traveling the world and touring, but I also love creating and recording music. What popped up for me during this video, is whether I should focus my time and energy in building a career performing music (been playing Guitar for 8+years) alone and with friends and start making money in that way, or if I should invest most of my time and energy into getting better at writing and recording music so I can build a career around that. I want to quit my day job and make money from music as soon as possible but torn on where I should invest my time and energy. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! :D
great video. I have taken some of your courses and mix alongs, as well as Graham's courses over the years. My 18 year old self took a turn from music as a career and did the computer science thing and made a really good living out of it. I am newly retired (12/31/2023) now. After years of being a wanna be musician/artist, I can say I have songs out now for public consumption. I finally got around to finishing two songs and joined Distrokid to get them distributed. It was a scary proposition putting my work out there but I did it! I even have my RUclips OAC (go subscribe) set up now. you hit on one idea I will be pursuing - videos on how I write and record. Maybe someone will enjoy watching how I do things because I know I enjoy seeing everyone else's processes and home studios. thanks for all the videos over the years, including your Personus stuff (I use Studio One too).
Not a huge amount, but I've been on staff as the worship leader at a few churches. So it took up a considerable amount of time, but honestly didn't make much money.
One of the things I thought of is I work in like lofi Hiphop meets ambient space and I have no lie at least a thousand unfinished songs. And I've been curious about making my own sample packs out of em. Like I couldn't figure this idea out maybe these stems will spark others. Anyone knowledgeable in that space that could provide some info?
The whole idea of selling beats is very intriguing, because there is a huge market. You could use my business model to sell beats. You would just sell the sample packs instead of selling courses like I do, but it could be a very cool business.
You know, I’ve been watching you for years! I may have commented a couple times probably… but I’d like to chat with you. We have something in common… It’s just you took off with it, and I passed it up almost 20 years ago. Presonus- I’d really like to talk to you though Joe! If at all possible… Thanks Buddy-
It's all about pride. Not wanting to be a sellout is an absolutely ludicrous idea. Being homeless for your music isn't impressive or artistic. Toto is the perfect example of how to sell out perfectly. Write hits to make money and then fill your albums with crazy fusion and play at local bars the music you truly want to play and record.
Hey Joe, Great Video diving into a multitude of Ideas. Some of the comments have even stirred up some ideas especially since I am a Muti-Keyboardist Recording Engineer/Producer. Making synth/software patches/presets; making sample packs as Peterelfman has mentioned below. Not to totally get off the subject. But the Producer tag, unfortunately, does not seem to have the impact it once did years ago. See if you agree. What I mean is back in the '70s to '80s when you talked about a Producer it was a thrilling idea, someone special to work with, almost to the hype of a Movie star. Nowadays anyone and everyone is calling themselves a Producer simply because they are trying to produce content on RUclips etc. Good, Bad, or Horrible. I almost hesitate to even use the term since I feel its meaning has gotten lost with all of these wanna-be somebodies calling them Producers who couldn't Produce themselves out of a paper bag...LOL... Not sure if you agree with my perception 100% about some of today's so-called Producers out there, but it's what it is...... Don't get me wrong there are of course a lot of Grade "A" Producers out there mixed in with the other not-so-good Producers. Which sometimes makes it hard for people who are looking for a Good Producer to find them... Always look forward to watching and learning from your insight...... Thx ElectricEddie
As a lad, I had always hoped to generate income by setting up a kissing booth dedicated solely to a clientele of female supermodels. I still hold out some hope, but as my hair disappears and my waistline extends, this seems less and less practical with each passing decade. Thanks, Joe. -JTW
Im a self taught recording artist and I mostly mix my own music. I had the idea of taking the time to get into audio engineering and production. This scares me a little.
Do whatever I have to do to get money, hopefully by making music. Or not. AND ALSO, do whatever I need to, to making music, hopefully I can get money too from it, hopefully as big as possible. Or not.
Same as having one other non-music-related-work instead of 13 and just playing your music. Yes, it sells for a little or none and no exposure you could generate for it if you are around music business. How many tracks Nike need? Just let it be. Not everyone need/can do any of 13 and it’s a pity they keep trying (instead of getting a job and making better music at the rest of your hours). I think best advise if to optimize/minimize your other money making to let more time/juices for your music. The real breakthrough will be only when AI and chatgpt like interface will let listener to find and reach out to music THEY want to hear. From any original musician first hand. Not from algorithm suggestion like it is today. Then I believe amount of listeners/payout will be enough to make every musician happy with their income and music exposure.
@@HomeStudioCorner I listen Apple too. For artists I know. But how you find new music? New artists? Say you like Depeche Mode. Simple example. Can algorithm offer you a cool song alike from an artist you never knew of? Should be a breeze for AI. But no, algorithm is tuned to offer “popular”, which is driven by plays, which is by playlists, so promotion and in few sings you are from electronic on a hip-hop track. So you back Apple to an artist you know. So far AI is only abused to feed you promoted content. When instead it would offer you a new song you actually LIKE it will be a revolution for listeners and artists yo reach out.
I've discovered new artists on playlists for styles of music. And I'm okay with it showing me music that is "driven by plays." That means it's good music that lots of people want to listen to.
@@HomeStudioCorner Yup, case closed :) “More plays == good music”. That’s where “industry” gets us. Less than 200 plays - you suck, no pay, your money go to artists making “good music” LOL Best case scenario, or just to curated playlists or playlist scammers. Anyways not the point. AI nowadays can do so much better in song style/mood/vibe detection. I wish to have a slider between playsalike song recommendation.
Lots of plays doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good, but it does mean that a lot of people like it, which is a valuable piece of data. If I go look at a RUclips channel, and all the videos only have 60 views on them, then I will make assumptions about the quality of the videos; they are probably not very good.
What your speaking of, in regards to"product music", is called Sync Licensing and thanks to A.I., we sync producers are about to be put out of business!! Where it takes us 20 or more hours to produce ONE sync piece, already there are A.I. "services", producing 100's in minutes for almost zero cost... welcome to the new world... human musicians getting screwed AGAIN!!
Yeah, that stinks, but we humans are pretty smart and adaptable when we want to be. Cars replaced horses. Computers replaced typewriters. With every big technology development comes both loss and opportunity.
I am afraid of producing a bunch of content (sound design, beats, videos etc) and it all falling on deaf ears due to inexperience with promotion or just plain out making a bad product.
I'm an artist not a god damn free lance contractor this is bullshit I just want to live and make music all day everyday this is crazy that this is required just to live RIDICULOUS
You're frustrated. I get that. But I have an honest question. Has there ever been a time in history where someone could make their living by making music all day every day? If we go back a few hundred years, you've got composers like Bach or artists like Michelangelo. Oftentimes they were commissioned by churches or monarchs to create their art. They were the best in the world, so they made money. What about all the other "good" composers and artists? Or like I mentioned in this video, let's go back just 50 years to the 1970s, did anyone make a living by playing music all day every day? Only the best ones who got picked by record labels. A handful of people. If today was 1974, and you weren't one of the handful of best musician in the world, you didn't have the option to even dream about making a living from music. Today you do. You may not like it, but there's more opportunity today then there ever has been. And yes, it requires work and entrepreneurship. It always has. So yes, in a perfect world I could sit and play my guitar all day, and money would just flow into my bank account. But that's never been reality, throughout the history of mankind. So why would that be a reality today? And for what it's worth, if you learn the skills of creating a business, you can get to a point where you can play music all day.
Hmm I get nothing at for any streaming thanx to the way it works is Australia. I’m not a RUclipsr it’s way too hard for me to do. I’m not a businessman, I don’t have a head for it. So I’m retired and broke but still gigging and making no money and that’s life.
I’m OK not making money with my music. For me, the two rewards I seek are 1) my own satisfaction with what I produce and 2) seeing that others whose opinions I value enjoy what they hear. My track record so far with my only original songs has been a fizzle. I submitted my first one to a Home Studio Corner challenge last year. It didn’t even make it to the livestream. I made a crude video on iMovie with public domain photos and synced it with the recording of my second song. One year on RUclips and counting, 300 views (and many of them were me). About the best spin I can put on this is “if at first you don’t succeed,…” You know the rest.
So the followup question would be: were you making a lot of money before streaming and now you're not? For most people, the answer is no. They may not agree with the concept of the streaming platform, but they weren't making a lot of money selling music before streaming came.
When someone feels the need to set up a defense speech, there is probably some kind of problem with the whole thing. Anyone who sets aside their own values and integrity for money alone is considered a sellout. The problem arises when all these side jobs kill the creative drive and joy of freely creating and playing the music you prefer. Therefore, many creators choose a completely different money job to maintain their creative integrity. If, on the other hand, you enjoy doing all these side jobs, feel that they enrich your creativity and you get something out of it, it’s surely an great asset. 😎
I appreciate the ideas, but by doing all of those other things, you’re not doing the one thing that it’s all about which is creating music. Somehow artists need to take back the power from the streaming platforms and quit letting mega corporations take advantage. This absolutely will have a negative impact on the quality of music Because artists who cannot survive on their music in a competitive market, will simply do something else.
That's great info but let's be honest with each other, none of those is why people wanted to play music in the first place. They want to be creative with their own musical vision, not write jingles for Amazon. Might as well get a non-musical job.
Like I said in the video, all the ways that I have chosen to make money have been incredibly fulfilling and creative activities for me. No, it’s not the way I thought I would make my living, especially when I was a kid with a dream of being a rockstar, but it is 1000% more creative and fulfilling than any “day job” I’ve had. And in my case, it pays much better.
I’m sure they would. But that’s kind of the point of this video. There are ways to make money from music other than selling original music. I can’t teach how to make millions from selling music, because I haven’t made millions from selling music. To make millions from selling music, you need millions and millions of followers, you need to be that good. Thankfully, there are many other ways to create income without relying on a record label to pick you, or without relying on needing a massive fanbase. Those are the things I talked about in this video.
Problem is , show me your hit records that have hit Billboard and charted??? Exactly you have none.. that is why you are running around doing the things 'about' music and not actually performing. for an aspiring Performer if they perfect their craft and focus on it. they focus on it and sell a shit ton of albums, merch and tour in big venues. not all the doggety side music stuff you are talking about here.. but you cannot call yourself an artist if you haven't broken those barriers.. you are just talking.. that is all.
That’s a beautiful thing about music and entrepreneurship. I don’t need anyone’s permission. I don’t need you to think that I am an artist to know that I am one. I don’t need to have a Grammy or have a song on the billboard charts to create music that I love. And, as it turns out, I don’t need those things to earn a great living for myself and my family.
I just saw your vídeo I agree with all, but how can i do? I have perfect pitch, i had composed about 40 good pieces, multinstrument player, luthier making my own instruments out of garbage. In the last year or two years i had to also record by myself and my own ways. I beleive that tells you for sure that i have some level as musician. Thus, how can i do? where i live there are no oportunities. Lackof freedom to work. Let me just tell you that what i like the most about music IS its Infinity. If you wish to here my last work. Contact me. I need to live as you do. Please beleive me; i am good Regards
@@HomeStudioCorner thank you my friend. Your advices are considerely helpfull . But I am sorry maybe I didn't express myself in a good manner. I would be glad if you try to give me a chance. I am very very Creative. Very fast i can compose any kind of genre. Regards

Great video. I believe that our 16 years old self could never dream about making a living from those income sources because they didn’t exist at the time and we had a very romantic idea about recording and touring.
As we get older, we see things differently and give priority to balancing work and family. Nowadays, being a rock star is not what I would consider a good career.
At some point in the past, I was playing gigs five times a week. Now, I barely leave my home studio.
Some great ideas there. But seriously man, that voice, you should be narrating documentaries and doing voice overs! What a tone!
Ideas, main focus.
I literally said “Dude, your voice is why you’re making all that money” 🤣🤣
I think anyone who puts their mind to it can make a good living in music. You gave me a bunch of great ideas as I start pursuing this route.
Great video, Joe! Other possible revenue streams: Making synth/software patches/presets; making sample packs; submitting to music libraries; scoring corporate video presentations; I'm sure there a few that we both haven't mentioned.
Dear Joe, i'm so grateful for all the contents you provide on your channel !! I'm french and I started following you during the covid period when i was using my free time to record my music, i was a beginner. You are not only talking about music but about life in your ideos !! I think you became a better musician and artiste like you said, but also a better man and it's the same for your followers, !! It's what i love !!

I've been recording for 35 years as an artist and an engineer. I was fortunate enough to live in NYC and do relatively well with my band at the time. Worked with a lot of great people in great studios with great gear. After we left NYC, I ended up going to grad school for writing in Iowa and now I make my living doing review and commentary on consumer tech. The more I do that, the more I wish I'd made music more of what my channel does.
Not sure how to square that circle, but I've enjoyed watching your videos a lot over the years. You're one of the only "studio recording RUclipsrs" I've watched regularly for a long time.
Thanks man. Just sub’d.
I’ve gotten really good over the last year with recording, mixing and mastering on Studio one Pro and Presonus! I love it and can’t get enough. I’m ready to start finding people to produce songs, content, jingles, voice over and I’m also a musician looking to be a session player. I have been a pro musician for 30+ years and can’t do live shows anymore due to health issues. I work out of my basement for production. I’m good with a lot of other aspects of music and art and am all in but I’m a bit intimidated but I’m going forward. Thanks for helping me!
Joe, your video is the most encouraging I have seen since I started watching RUclips in 2017 following you and other industry notables. Thanks for sharing your income numbers. And congratulations you have done well and that keeps the dream alive for those of us watch your videos. Have an awesome new year!
Hi Joe. What I love about your videos (apart from your knowledgeable and personable delivery) is that you give great value first, with no strings attached. Because of that, you deserve every dollar you make thereafter. So, paradoxically, I think the greatest strength of your business 'model' is the non-profit part. It opens the door and your generous approach makes it easy for people to come to you - if they so choose - with money. With respect and thanks for the help your videos have given me so far. I'm a huge fan.
You nailed it.
This is a really good “reality hits” video. On point, for sure! I was really helped by your course, though life sorta dictated a late landing for me, (just released my first single on Dec. 29, 2023…deadlines work)… and I continue to use methods you teach, ie get a great sounding dry mix, every time I hit the studio. I am very glad that the advise given by my father to “get a vocation to fall back on and you can buy as many amplifiers as you want to” is something that I heeded and walked through…thanks Dad (rip)… PS, love Studio One…cheers!
Hey Joe! Great video as always my man! My name is Tim Ash, I am a singer/songwriter/lead worshipper and all around music/gear nerd. I toured for 25+ years independently and have pretty much stopped all of that (except a few acoustic gigs here and there) to pursue most of the stuff you mentioned in this video and be home with my family every night.I have a home studio for writing/mixing and started my podcast STORIES + SONGS in January of 2023. I am excited to hear we have a mutual friend in Tommy Z.! I recently signed up for his masterclass and am almost finished/ready to start churning out some music for brands.Your channel has been very instrumental in my decisions to shift gears and pursue this "stay at home" mentality. Thank you for doing what you do my friend.
Your point at the end about being fulfilling and creative are keys for any ventures in life. Great overview of your journey Joe! I am even using Studio One Pro more now...
Wow great video,I started studio 67 after years of playing and recording albums that now live on platforms such as Spotify, iTunes so on this video is so good make one think out of the box,, Thankx Joe
Great video Joe! You presented an important topic, i.e., making money in the music business, that's rarely covered. One thing I'm surprised that you didn't mention is the symbiotic relationship between your various sources of income. Specifically, I've got to believe that, given the fact that a large part of your income is derived from courses and memberships and you have 11 other sources of income, those contribute directly and indirectly to your overall success. Given that less than 5% of your income has come from networking in Nashville per your reply to another comment to this video, it's obvious to me that the indirect source of a fair amount of your income is the interest and goodwill that you generate from your internet-related activities, including your RUclips and PreSonus' RUclips channels. Speaking personally, I discovered you on your RUclips channel when I was researching studio recording. I have watched and enjoyed many of your YT videos as well as several of your PreSonus YT videos. Wishing you continued success!
You're spot on. Providing tons of value (over 1,000 videos) on RUclips since 2009 made a HUGE difference.
Enjoyed the vid and thanks for the encouragement!
One thing I'm starting to get into is taking all the skills in recording and performing I have and create videos of me playing all the instruments. This also gets me into video editing but also helps to develop and refine the skills I have.
Joe, my first comment is a question really. If I'm not mistaken you live in Nashville which is one of the hotbeds of the music industry (with LA, London and possibly New York City). How much would you say of your income is made possible by the fact that you live where you live? If nothing else, how much would you say it made it easier to network with other musicians and producers by living there? Thanks for all you do as always
For what its worth ... I live in NorCal but its still 750 miles from some studios in Hollywood. But your point is a good one although not as valid as it once was: Location location location. You have to connect with people.
Yes, I do live in the Nashville area. but it hasn’t been a big factor in my income. I’m sure there is a level of credibility I get from simply living here, but if I had to put a number on it, I would say less than 5% of my income has come from “networking“ in Nashville. My most profitable relationships have come through meeting people on the Internet, over RUclips, etc..
You are good though! I had been watching you for quite a while!😊😊 and thank for the advice 🎉!
Thank you for all your videos! You are a huge blessing!
@Joe Gilder Home Studio pertaining to the Service section: being that I have a home studio session work sounds exciting to me since I just had someone reach out to me asking to use my studio to do a recording session. Simultaneously, I feel somewhat nervous also pertaining to the service section as in regards to mixing, mastering,,and production as it’s something I really want to learn. However, every time I start watching and trying to learn from tutorials here on RUclips, I get overwhelmed and intimidated by the process.
Feeling nervous is normal. The idea of putting yourself out there can be really scary. As far as learning how to mix and master, I know that I am incredibly biased, but I would take a course rather than trying to figure it out from random RUclips videos. Doesn’t have to be my course, but courses are better structured to help you understand the process on a deeper level. Plus the fact that you paid for it will make you more likely to actually do something with it.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm a composer and amateur producer planning to improve producing and maybe one day use some of the 13 paths you've mentioned.
Wow, that was really good Joe. I appreciate your transparency and obvious desire to help others create income as they do what they love.
Awesome Video...thank you for sharing all this with everyone!
In my music experiences, people who consider themselves "sellouts," or other musicians and DJ sellouts, are the ones who stayed stuck in an OLD world while myself, and others moved on and advanced in our creations, flexibility and expansion..
Thanks Joe for all the years of training and motivation. You're videos have always been a blessing and a big help!
One of the ideas that came to my mind also is Live Broadcast Mixing Services.
Yeah that’s totally a thing now.
Thanks Joe for all your content. I’ve learned things from your stuff. Not a pro but I’m learning.
This might be apply more to my own genre (electronic music), but I've found various opportunities in local venues. Since I'm still pretty new to production but have a knack for technology and equipment, I got involved with venues that don't have enough people who can do lights or fill in as a sound engineer (people who do it on a "professional" level often get busy with bigger gigs and bigger venues). It became my way of making some extra cash and also allows me to get more involved in the scene. Now I'm also considering learning more about visuals. So in general, I saw that there are sooooo many people who want to be performers, but not enough of them can cover the technical part either due to lack of proper knowledge, or just don't want to for other reasons.
I love these videos Joe!!!! I really appreciate you sharing your path!!! ✌🏻🥰
Really great video to start the year. Thanks!
i used to record and mix my own songs all of the time. I started sending my stems to better producers and engineers for a better mix and ended up neglecting my own skills. It's time i get back to it.
There’s also composing for movies / writing music for anime, games & adverts if you can compose!
Great video, really helpful, would really love more videos and in depth information on this subject
Each streaming and SOCIAL MEDIA platform provides alternate and broader ways to reach audiences for selling IP. It’s about long tail of channels to audiences. Good video!
Joe, I've been searching for awhile now and I know it's probably going to be am easy thing lol. I know you can drag and drop an audio event to a different track but is there a keyboard shortcut to move that event up one track like on protools?
I want to get really good at producing music and invite people to my home studio to record. I would like to be able ot earn money from this and having artist coming in and out will help me build connections, inspire me, and make me a better muscian. This scares me but I will do it
Hi Joe, could you recommend any albums or songs that you consider as a good reference for lead vocal and background vocal mixing? Or maybe any engineer names.
needed this perspective. thank you bro!
I'm a hobbyist musician who achieved a goal of putting out an album that I recorded myself. So far I've made a few cents on Spotify and a few dollars on Bandcamp, but I have not done real marketing. Meanwhile I can make dollars per day on a blockchain platform. I know that word turns a lot of people off so I won't mention the name, but there are options beyond the big corporations.
Thank you Joe!! ... And I also want to also say thank you to your "Joe Gilder TEAM!! " You always use "Us" when you reference what's up with y'all.
Yeah my team is pretty tiny. Just two people. And a handful of freelancers.
Great video! Is there a way to go through the steps of creating a business for musicians? For example, how can I create my own business as a mix engineer? Or maybe an live sound engineer?
Stay tuned. I’ll be talking about this more this year.
I'm 29 years old and my parents still make a point to remind me that music is nothing but a hobby.
I'll show them a song or something and they won't compliment the song. They'll just say, "Wow what a great hobby you got there" lol
They'll reluctantly admit it's good, but they don't think that matters.
I know exactly what they're doing. Not sure why they feel the need though, because I've never once suggested quitting my job for music. They just know it's a goal of mine and they don't want it to be. They want me to be a nurse or some shit
LOL same same
Hey Joe.I've been a big fan of you,Graham and Dueling mixes.My situation is I was born without ears and I mix with headphones.I know there people out there with similar conditions.I've always wanted to set up a platform for the hearing impaired.I'm living proof that it's possible to record,mix,master and release viable music to the social media.I've released 2 single and am working on my 10 song EP.If the desire is there go for it and don't let anything keep you from what you love....making music.........
🤘 Rock on, Greg.
Thanks!
🤔So basically, being just an artist won't make you money? Because streaming pays penny, touring is complicated and i said being an artist not a engineer or promoter, or teacher etc im aksing is there any hope of making money as just an artist?
There will always be a lot of money to be made as an artist. Genuine artists are so rare these days. Me and so many of my friends are constantly looking for genuine artist cause music is so watered down to us right now. So much money out here for artists that can keep it real with themselves and in turn keeping it real with the fans that connect with their true selves. Just saying
That's a truthful video, bit there is a very sad message included for the music/song itself.. And that in a world where everybody is hearing music..
That’s one way of looking at it. But everyone listened to music in the 70s and there was ZERO chance anyone would hear your music unless a record label picked you. Today people can hear your music. To me that’s happy not sad.
Nice! This video was super helpful and informative!
Hey Joe, awesome video! I've always wanted to make money just performing music for people and traveling the world and touring, but I also love creating and recording music. What popped up for me during this video, is whether I should focus my time and energy in building a career performing music (been playing Guitar for 8+years) alone and with friends and start making money in that way, or if I should invest most of my time and energy into getting better at writing and recording music so I can build a career around that. I want to quit my day job and make money from music as soon as possible but torn on where I should invest my time and energy. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! :D
great video. I have taken some of your courses and mix alongs, as well as Graham's courses over the years. My 18 year old self took a turn from music as a career and did the computer science thing and made a really good living out of it. I am newly retired (12/31/2023) now. After years of being a wanna be musician/artist, I can say I have songs out now for public consumption. I finally got around to finishing two songs and joined Distrokid to get them distributed. It was a scary proposition putting my work out there but I did it! I even have my RUclips OAC (go subscribe) set up now. you hit on one idea I will be pursuing - videos on how I write and record. Maybe someone will enjoy watching how I do things because I know I enjoy seeing everyone else's processes and home studios. thanks for all the videos over the years, including your Personus stuff (I use Studio One too).
This was an eye opening video! I’m curious how significant the church gig portion accounts for. That’s not something I have any experience with.
Not a huge amount, but I've been on staff as the worship leader at a few churches. So it took up a considerable amount of time, but honestly didn't make much money.
nice overview joe, I think the term could also be diversify yourself
Thanks for sharing 👍
I needed this. Thank you
Good stuff well done !
One of the things I thought of is I work in like lofi Hiphop meets ambient space and I have no lie at least a thousand unfinished songs. And I've been curious about making my own sample packs out of em. Like I couldn't figure this idea out maybe these stems will spark others. Anyone knowledgeable in that space that could provide some info?
The whole idea of selling beats is very intriguing, because there is a huge market. You could use my business model to sell beats. You would just sell the sample packs instead of selling courses like I do, but it could be a very cool business.
You know, I’ve been watching you for years! I may have commented a couple times probably… but I’d like to chat with you. We have something in common… It’s just you took off with it, and I passed it up almost 20 years ago.
Presonus- I’d really like to talk to you though Joe! If at all possible…
Thanks Buddy-
I want to start a gospel piano course but truly don’t know where to start.
Check out this video on my other channel: ruclips.net/video/nMEagQ1lwgA/видео.htmlsi=fJFKahp7lFLwA9GU
Excelent video sir!
If someone calls you a sellout, they’re just jealous
It's all about pride. Not wanting to be a sellout is an absolutely ludicrous idea. Being homeless for your music isn't impressive or artistic.
Toto is the perfect example of how to sell out perfectly. Write hits to make money and then fill your albums with crazy fusion and play at local bars the music you truly want to play and record.
Hey Joe, Great Video diving into a multitude of Ideas. Some of the comments have even stirred up some ideas especially since I am a Muti-Keyboardist Recording Engineer/Producer. Making synth/software patches/presets; making sample packs as Peterelfman has mentioned below. Not to totally get off the subject. But the Producer tag, unfortunately, does not seem to have the impact it once did years ago. See if you agree. What I mean is back in the '70s to '80s when you talked about a Producer it was a thrilling idea, someone special to work with, almost to the hype of a Movie star. Nowadays anyone and everyone is calling themselves a Producer simply because they are trying to produce content on RUclips etc. Good, Bad, or Horrible. I almost hesitate to even use the term since I feel its meaning has gotten lost with all of these wanna-be somebodies calling them Producers who couldn't Produce themselves out of a paper bag...LOL... Not sure if you agree with my perception 100% about some of today's so-called Producers out there, but it's what it is...... Don't get me wrong there are of course a lot of Grade "A" Producers out there mixed in with the other not-so-good Producers. Which sometimes makes it hard for people who are looking for a Good Producer to find them... Always look forward to watching and learning from your insight...... Thx ElectricEddie
Yeah I suppose you’re right. I’ve never needed to find a producer because I produce my own stuff. Maybe that’s your point. 😂
How much to have you critique and mentor?
Got me Excited :)
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great vid!!
As a lad, I had always hoped to generate income by setting up a kissing booth dedicated solely to a clientele of female supermodels. I still hold out some hope, but as my hair disappears and my waistline extends, this seems less and less practical with each passing decade. Thanks, Joe. -JTW
Im a self taught recording artist and I mostly mix my own music. I had the idea of taking the time to get into audio engineering and production. This scares me a little.
Fear = Compass
Do whatever I have to do to get money, hopefully by making music. Or not. AND ALSO, do whatever I need to, to making music, hopefully I can get money too from it, hopefully as big as possible. Or not.
People who are not selling music teach how to sell or make music. A normal trend for years now.
Same as having one other non-music-related-work instead of 13 and just playing your music. Yes, it sells for a little or none and no exposure you could generate for it if you are around music business. How many tracks Nike need?
Just let it be. Not everyone need/can do any of 13 and it’s a pity they keep trying (instead of getting a job and making better music at the rest of your hours).
I think best advise if to optimize/minimize your other money making to let more time/juices for your music.
The real breakthrough will be only when AI and chatgpt like interface will let listener to find and reach out to music THEY want to hear. From any original musician first hand. Not from algorithm suggestion like it is today. Then I believe amount of listeners/payout will be enough to make every musician happy with their income and music exposure.
I don't think I understand your last paragraph. Right now I can listen to any artist I want on Apple Music. No algorithm involved.
@@HomeStudioCorner I listen Apple too. For artists I know. But how you find new music? New artists?
Say you like Depeche Mode. Simple example. Can algorithm offer you a cool song alike from an artist you never knew of? Should be a breeze for AI.
But no, algorithm is tuned to offer “popular”, which is driven by plays, which is by playlists, so promotion and in few sings you are from electronic on a hip-hop track. So you back Apple to an artist you know.
So far AI is only abused to feed you promoted content. When instead it would offer you a new song you actually LIKE it will be a revolution for listeners and artists yo reach out.
I've discovered new artists on playlists for styles of music. And I'm okay with it showing me music that is "driven by plays." That means it's good music that lots of people want to listen to.
@@HomeStudioCorner Yup, case closed :) “More plays == good music”. That’s where “industry” gets us.
Less than 200 plays - you suck, no pay, your money go to artists making “good music” LOL Best case scenario, or just to curated playlists or playlist scammers.
Anyways not the point. AI nowadays can do so much better in song style/mood/vibe detection. I wish to have a slider between playsalike song recommendation.
Lots of plays doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good, but it does mean that a lot of people like it, which is a valuable piece of data. If I go look at a RUclips channel, and all the videos only have 60 views on them, then I will make assumptions about the quality of the videos; they are probably not very good.
I can write songs. I think I come up with good melodies
What your speaking of, in regards to"product music", is called Sync Licensing and thanks to A.I., we sync producers are about to be put out of business!! Where it takes us 20 or more hours to produce ONE sync piece, already there are A.I. "services", producing 100's in minutes for almost zero cost... welcome to the new world... human musicians getting screwed AGAIN!!
Yeah, that stinks, but we humans are pretty smart and adaptable when we want to be. Cars replaced horses. Computers replaced typewriters. With every big technology development comes both loss and opportunity.
How do I make money and an opera singer
Huh?
I am afraid of producing a bunch of content (sound design, beats, videos etc) and it all falling on deaf ears due to inexperience with promotion or just plain out making a bad product.
You got any beat available?I will love to hear and use them
SELLOUT!!!The record company is gonna gimme lots of money and everything is gonna be alriiiiiight!!!
I'm an artist not a god damn free lance contractor this is bullshit I just want to live and make music all day everyday this is crazy that this is required just to live RIDICULOUS
You're frustrated. I get that. But I have an honest question. Has there ever been a time in history where someone could make their living by making music all day every day? If we go back a few hundred years, you've got composers like Bach or artists like Michelangelo. Oftentimes they were commissioned by churches or monarchs to create their art. They were the best in the world, so they made money. What about all the other "good" composers and artists?
Or like I mentioned in this video, let's go back just 50 years to the 1970s, did anyone make a living by playing music all day every day? Only the best ones who got picked by record labels. A handful of people.
If today was 1974, and you weren't one of the handful of best musician in the world, you didn't have the option to even dream about making a living from music.
Today you do.
You may not like it, but there's more opportunity today then there ever has been. And yes, it requires work and entrepreneurship. It always has.
So yes, in a perfect world I could sit and play my guitar all day, and money would just flow into my bank account. But that's never been reality, throughout the history of mankind. So why would that be a reality today?
And for what it's worth, if you learn the skills of creating a business, you can get to a point where you can play music all day.
i mean you can do that you just won’t make money
Hmm I get nothing at for any streaming thanx to the way it works is Australia. I’m not a RUclipsr it’s way too hard for me to do. I’m not a businessman, I don’t have a head for it. So I’m retired and broke but still gigging and making no money and that’s life.
Are you happy/fulfilled at least?
I excited to hear new ways to make money with my music but I'm scared of telling everyone about these methods
Why?
“Fifty Ways to Leave You Covered” 🤓
I’m OK not making money with my music. For me, the two rewards I seek are 1) my own satisfaction with what I produce and 2) seeing that others whose opinions I value enjoy what they hear.
My track record so far with my only original songs has been a fizzle. I submitted my first one to a Home Studio Corner challenge last year. It didn’t even make it to the livestream. I made a crude video on iMovie with public domain photos and synced it with the recording of my second song. One year on RUclips and counting, 300 views (and many of them were me).
About the best spin I can put on this is “if at first you don’t succeed,…”
You know the rest.
First off, it's awesome that you completed a challenge and made a song. Now just go do it again and again. Nobody gets great after one round.
Bro can we work together I think you can help me reach my goals
Streaming platforms are totally ripping off artist.
So the followup question would be: were you making a lot of money before streaming and now you're not? For most people, the answer is no. They may not agree with the concept of the streaming platform, but they weren't making a lot of money selling music before streaming came.
That’s a sell out I can go for.
When someone feels the need to set up a defense speech, there is probably some kind of problem with the whole thing. Anyone who sets aside their own values and integrity for money alone is considered a sellout. The problem arises when all these side jobs kill the creative drive and joy of freely creating and playing the music you prefer. Therefore, many creators choose a completely different money job to maintain their creative integrity. If, on the other hand, you enjoy doing all these side jobs, feel that they enrich your creativity and you get something out of it, it’s surely an great asset. 😎
Great point. My hope with this video is to help people see that there are so many more options than they realize.
this is just a 6,5 minute video of a dude bragging about his skills
It’s a man telling you ways to diversify your skills. Treat yourself and your skills like a business, you have to market yourself
And he should... if he's made over a million on music
You get money from music? Sellout!
Right.
I appreciate the ideas, but by doing all of those other things, you’re not doing the one thing that it’s all about which is creating music.
Somehow artists need to take back the power from the streaming platforms and quit letting mega corporations take advantage. This absolutely will have a negative impact on the quality of music Because artists who cannot survive on their music in a competitive market, will simply do something else.
It’s interesting that you assume that I’m not making music. I certainly am. I’m also finding ways to make money other than selling my music.
That's great info but let's be honest with each other, none of those is why people wanted to play music in the first place. They want to be creative with their own musical vision, not write jingles for Amazon. Might as well get a non-musical job.
I kind of think like this sometimes, but then I ask myself if I'd rather answer phones and talk to assholes or play notes for money
Like I said in the video, all the ways that I have chosen to make money have been incredibly fulfilling and creative activities for me. No, it’s not the way I thought I would make my living, especially when I was a kid with a dream of being a rockstar, but it is 1000% more creative and fulfilling than any “day job” I’ve had. And in my case, it pays much better.
I think most folks would be more interested in a video that helped them make more money from their original music. @@HomeStudioCorner
I’m sure they would. But that’s kind of the point of this video. There are ways to make money from music other than selling original music. I can’t teach how to make millions from selling music, because I haven’t made millions from selling music. To make millions from selling music, you need millions and millions of followers, you need to be that good. Thankfully, there are many other ways to create income without relying on a record label to pick you, or without relying on needing a massive fanbase. Those are the things I talked about in this video.
Problem is , show me your hit records that have hit Billboard and charted??? Exactly you have none.. that is why you are running around doing the things 'about' music and not actually performing. for an aspiring Performer if they perfect their craft and focus on it. they focus on it and sell a shit ton of albums, merch and tour in big venues. not all the doggety side music stuff you are talking about here.. but you cannot call yourself an artist if you haven't broken those barriers.. you are just talking.. that is all.
That’s a beautiful thing about music and entrepreneurship. I don’t need anyone’s permission. I don’t need you to think that I am an artist to know that I am one. I don’t need to have a Grammy or have a song on the billboard charts to create music that I love. And, as it turns out, I don’t need those things to earn a great living for myself and my family.
There is so much luck required to be successful at this. No hate. But lets be real. You wouldnt be here without luck.
Absolutely. But let’s be real that there’s also more to anyone’s success than ONLY luck.

Thank you for this Video,wanna "rent your ear" for a 3 minutes RAP TRACK ! How can i contact you
I just saw your vídeo I agree with all, but how can i do? I have perfect pitch, i had composed about 40 good pieces, multinstrument player, luthier making my own instruments out of garbage. In the last year or two years i had to also record by myself and my own ways.
I beleive that tells you for sure that i have some level as musician. Thus, how can i do? where i live there are no oportunities. Lackof freedom to work.
Let me just tell you that what i like the most about music IS its Infinity. If you wish to here my last work. Contact me.
I need to live as you do. Please beleive me; i am good

I'm not sure I can answer the question. I gave 13 ways I've made money. Maybe try one of those or use those ideas to come up with your own?
@@HomeStudioCorner thank you my friend. Your advices are considerely helpfull . But I am sorry maybe I didn't express myself in a good manner. I would be glad if you try to give me a chance. I am very very Creative. Very fast i can compose any kind of genre. Regards
Are you asking me to hire you? That's not something I do.
@@HomeStudioCorner no mister! I was telling you that i have more than just a poping idea. Mi creativity is infinite.
