I don’t remember such paranormal silence in september for past two years.
Everyone is waiting for Audio to hit elements so they can get everything for next to nothing!
Deep silence for 24 hours.
Wait… what? I haven’t heard about this. I’m not really happy with these subscription models in general, they really rip off the content producers. When will this be launched for audio? And will it be compulsary to opt in?
Here is the announcement
On topic: still silent, 4 sales in september. Better than nothing, but it’s a 1/4 of previous minimum
Thanks, I’ll give it a read!
Absolutely dead 2 days. Where is the sale? Where are the results of my work? Where is the recoil? I have a lot of tracks in different genres and they do not need anyone?
Absolutely Average.
8 sales at the mid point of the month.
september is lower than standard regarding the number of sales, but today i have sold a 10 million broadcast license on an item for which i just significantly increased the price. so it was really a nice shot!
What number of tracks did you guys need accepted before sales started being more common? I know it varies a lot just curious what most people’s experience is.
Hey @Netrabeat, when I first started out I struggled to get over the $50 minimum withdrawal limit until I had a good 40+ tracks in my portfolio. That was 2014 so things have changed since then. For the bad; there’s a lot more competition now. For the good; with Author Driven Pricing you can charge a lot more and more easily reach that threshold.
My example;
My sales from last year have decreased around 50%, and i got a lot of tracks more than last year, It is imposible to say, to predict what the future will do for us.
Aaah, cool tks for replies! Yh I’m seeing a lot of people say this past month or so has been the worst they’ve been through since starting I’m hoping to turn this into 50% of my full time earnings (so about $8,000 a year profit). Looking like that’s probs not really possible anymore though?
That’s definitely an achievable target, as long as you make consistent uploads of good quality tracks. Just don’t expect to hit that income immediately, you will need a few months to establish a larger portfolio first. (Unless you score a hit track!!)
Of course it’s possible. Take the current top author for example:
Let’s take the worst case scenario just for the sake of calculation - He’s level 1 exclusive and every license sold was “music standard”.
1853 x 9.5= 17.603$ in August.
(He is elite so he’s getting a lot more than 9.5, and a lot of licenses are probably broadcast, so it’s a lot more money)
Yup, elites actually would get $14 per standard licence, so that figure is $25,942 per month if he’s only selling $20 tracks.
(Edit: Forgot £19 got bumped up to $20 recently)
Oh yh true, I’ve been keeping track of the no.1 account in envy haha so yh probs should have reworded what I said… Yeah I know it’s possible, but I mean for most the others or noobies like myself it’s getting much, much harder… I do plan to upload a logo and track on rotation so I can have a new track almost every day and plan to push myself to improve and experiment constantly… but if you guys could quickly critique my current small portfolio and lemme know if you think I’m close to being good enough to make income if I upload almost every day I’d massively appreciate it! I’m pretty new to stock music (obvs haha) so would love any help I can get.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even know what to do with that amount of money…
