About making money from music

Hello, how can I make money from the music I create? No one is listening to it. I mean, I want to monetize it. I’ve released it on many platforms. Is it actually possible to earn money from this using artificial listeners? If such a service exists, how much does it cost?

I wouldn’t pay for artificial listeners. Even if the numbers go up, they won’t turn into real fans or meaningful revenue. The bigger problem is probably discovery, music is subjective, so “promoting your song” is often too broad. Pick one specific audience and make short content around the song: TikTok/Reels/Shorts, behind-the-scenes clips, memes, or whatever fits the genre. Try to get people interested in the story or vibe first, then point them to the full track.

Your task is to attract fans; create short-form content using engaging action, information, or music to reach your audience before they become paying customers.

Artificial listeners are a bad move platforms can remove the streams, withhold royalties, or take down the music entirely.

Put the effort into getting a few real listeners instead: short clips on TikTok or Reels, reaching out to small playlists or creators in your genre.

artificial listeners can get you flagged, id focus on real listeners through TikTok, Reels and playlists instead, its safer long term.

Use YouTube or TikTok to your advantage. Play a part of your music as a teaser, then cut it, and send your viewers/listeners to your Patreon and charge for them to listen to it. Good luck!
