Soundation’s Jonatan Malm on 5 Unique Ways Music Producers Can Monetize Their Services

Jonatan Malm is a music producer and Community Manager at Soundation, a browser-based digital audio workstation. As a music producer and music tech professional, Jonatan has seen firsthand how the industry is constantly evolving, and with that comes new opportunities for music producers to earn a living from their craft.

Here are five innovative ways that he believes music producers can monetize their services:

1. Offer mixing and mastering services online: Thanks to the advancements in technology, offering mixing and mastering services online is easier than ever. Music producers can leverage their skills and expertise by offering their services to clients worldwide, and charge for their services on a per-project basis.
2. Host virtual production classes: Virtual classes have become increasingly popular in recent years, and music producers can take advantage of this trend by hosting virtual production classes. Music producers can offer a range of courses from beginner to advanced, and charge a fee for access.
3. Sell or lease beats and sample packs: Beats and sample packs are a popular way for music producers to monetize their services. By creating these high-quality packs and selling or leasing them online, music producers can earn a passive income stream. And now with Soundation’s embed feature they can give their potential buyers a chance to play around with their beats and samples before buying. All they need is an online store to embed the studio into.
4. Develop and sell music production plugins: Music production plugins are an essential tool for music producers. By developing and selling their own plugins, or collaborating with plugin manufacturers, music producers can earn a passive income stream and offer unique tools that cater to their specific audience.
5. Offer custom production services: Music producers can offer custom production services to clients who need bespoke music for their projects. By working with clients directly, music producers can charge a premium for their services and create unique music that fits the client’s specific needs.

These innovative ways for music producers to monetize their services, and what platforms are available through which to provide these services, can help your readers explore new opportunities to earn a living from their craft.
