  1. If you love making music, it’s one of the most fulfilling ways to earn a living. Whether it’s your full-time job or a lucrative side-gig, selling music is a creative way to make money doing something you love. But what if the money’s not there? Selling your music doesn’t come with any guarantees. For a lot of musicians, the siren song of a profitable music career just isn’t worth the risk. By setting up diversified, automated revenue streams⁠ , musicians in 2022 are able to reduce the risk and take a chance on their dream career. 1. Use digital distribution to earn streaming royalties It's crucial to understand the difference between a streaming service and a distribution network: · A streaming service is a platform people use to listen to music. The most popular are Spotify and Apple Music. · A distribution network distributes and collects royalties from those streaming services. If you're a musician, you know that streaming services are kind of a necessary evil. Even the biggest artists in the world can't escape backlash when they remove their music from popular platforms. So, it's important to make sure that your work is available on Spotify and Apple Music, the two biggest and most globally available services. Other popular streaming services include Google Play, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music, plus genre-specific streaming services like BeatPort and JunoDownload, which cater to electronic music producers and fans. 2. Make money playing gigs Musicians make a lot of money by playing live. The internet has allowed people to live stream music performances, but it's not the same as seeing a favorite artist perform in person. Going to see live music is an experience that can't be replicated. Creating an electronic press kit
