In the fifth class of the musical monetization course we are going to see that we can also sell our recorded sound resources and our musical compositions.
Now that we have covered the sale of our services as music teachers, studio and live musicians, we are going to sell our audio samples in digital format through music stocks, sound libraries and assignable plugins.
Let’s see what resources we can sell, their formats and where we can do it to convert our assets into scalable values.
Awesome! We are finally going to be able to take advantage of all those clips that we have been accumulating on our hard drives for years. From that kick you did for that song to the voices of your son singing happy birthday. Everything fits in the world of sound resources and effects as long as they meet the quality standards that we have seen in class.
To start from a point and organize our ideas, I leave you an example of categorization of sound resources so that you can fill your folders.
- Speed: bpm
- Tonality
- Instruments (One Shoot)
- Instruments (Licks and progressions)
- Loop
- Sound effects
- sweep
- Foley
- tunes
- intro/outro
It is very important that you describe your info products very well, put the genre, instrument, bpm, tonality, etc. in the description so that your search is immediate. In most cases, producers choose to choose resources that save us time searching in a sea of possibilities.
Take a look at all the marketplaces and audio sales platforms that we mentioned in the course to see which one fits your products best and do not hesitate to offer it in parallel on your website. In this way you will benefit from the exposure of the marketplaces and the margin of your website.
For the more advanced and with programming knowledge or who have a key partner who masters it, you can consider the option of creating your own VST plugin that can be executed in any DAW. This is undoubtedly the most profitable formula but also the most expensive to monetize your resources.
If you want to validate the product, start by creating a sampler for Native Instruments Kontakt or Logic Pro X Quick Sampler (Old EXS24) that allows you to see if there are enough downloads and interest in your product before you start programming your standalone plugin .
As always, if you have any doubt or question, you can send it through the support form of the subscriber intranet. See you in the next lesson! 🙂
