In an age where digital platforms dominate music discovery, many artists overlook a powerful and consistent income stream — licensing music for use in commercial spaces.

"So, how can I make money with my music that ends up on YouTube?" a client asked me last week.  I promptly told him I had no idea, but it probably had to do with getting tens of thousands of hits and then advertisers deciding they wanted to put ads on your chanel. . .  I thought for a little whlie longer and decided it would be a great blog post because I'm sure there are many independant musicians that would love to know.

So lets chat more in detail about how and from what does the song make money from.  How does the songwriter make; hmmm.....what’s that word again....ah yes, ROYALTY!!
