This is the essential stuff you need to know to make money with your music business by selling stock music.. I’m going to go through exactly what stock music is, where the money comes from, the types of libraries, what a good library music track sounds like, how to use titles and keywords, some technicalities of submitting tracks, and we’ll talk about which libraries you should actually write for.

Stock music, library music, production music, background music, whatever you choose to call it, sometimes get scoffed at by composers, as it can be seen as lower quality, generic, boring music.

But that’s not the case at all!

In fact, some library music can be some of the most creative, inventive, and incredibly well made music around - it has to be, if it’s going to get placed on programs or adverts that are going to be broadcast nationwide, and even internationally.

It can also be a really great way for you to make a living as a composer, offering you a great income, the ability to manage your own time and work output without the pressures of tight deadlines that you might find when working on bespoke projects, while still being able to be creative and, at the end of the day, to make money with music - something you love creating!

And the best part is that regardless of where you’re at in your composing journey, there’s probably a suitable platform for you to start with. Although I’ve said that some library music is some of the best produced music around, there’s also a whole world of more budget library music tracks that still need to be good, but can be great avenue for you to practice with, and make a bit of cash from.
