[@duncanmcgregor278]

Im I musician who is trying to break into the industry. still at college doing gigs and such. Hopefully it will be full time one day. Its gonna be tough but these tips help man from one musician to another. I thank you !!

[@samsmusichub]

BEST.INTRO.EVER. I think I'm going to love this channel!

[@TheHappyNisha]

Gosh! Mister Landon Austin - Your gentle authenticity to help, alongside your connective nature to share your wisdom, had me tuned into you, at the very first few sentences you spoke! 😇 - subscribed! Thank you for just being you and for doing what you love. Truly inspiring!

[@chetan19891]

hahaha u have a crush on him !!

[@LoveSarahJean]

I want to be able to do this! You're so inspiring!!

[@setiayah]

I didnt realise making music was that tough and had caused you worry on whether the video that you're going to upload gonna make you lose money or not in the past, because for me, I simply go on KZbin and listen/watch you and there's like no monetary support from me, in that sense, so ya. Glad to hear that you're coping much better now. Don't worry, you'll be my first patreon that I'll support once I can afford it! Keep doing music L.A! ❤️

[@acan9890]

I've been following you for years and I love your work! Keep it up! Gig'em👍🏻

[@TravisBeckMusic]

The life of a musician is definitely a struggle but I wouldn’t change it for the world! Great tips!

[@aryadna]

Hey Landon! As a musician, I realize that there youtube isn't exactly flooded with helpful hints on how to create a successful channel as a musician. And the videos that do exist get way less views than DYIs and blogs... I just started a music channel, and too forward to having fun with it and not giving up... Thank you for the info! I like your music channel (vlog is cool too! :)

[@Shienal01]

So grateful to have met you a couple years ago. Hope to meet you again soon :)

[@markyfromcampitchyivy9621]

Hi Landon. Can you comment on which online music store gives independent musicians the best percent of royalties when I buy MP3s?

[@landon]

+Mark Wiersma So if you buy a song on iTunes for 1.29 typically the artist can receive $.99 per sale (and $0.69 if you bought it for $0.99). However, it depends how they distribute the song. Different online distributors may also keep some backend while others do not, and they just charge an annual fee to keep the song in stores. Also if its a cover song the artist has to pay a fee per download to have the rights to sell the song. Spotify and Apple Music pay per stream, but it is very small and I've noticed that it fluctuates a bit depending on if its a paid user or free user. I know thats pretty vague but there really isn't a blanket answer. If you want to support an artist I think you just gotta pick which store you like the best. Hope that helps a little!

[@amyli092]

+Mark Wiersma Loudr is probably your best option because 100% of the money goes to the artist. Peter Hollens has talked about it before and even though I've never used that service, it'll definitely benefit the artist the most :)

[@Freigheist]

finally a youtuber who's honest about copyrighted stuff (cover songs). thumbs up!

[@cudashyperbole8229]

I like your comment so I leave you a comment it's always nice to get a thumbs up but it's difficult to find out who gave it to you so I leave a comment say hey and thank you for the kind gesture. Hyperbole just pretty much means long-winded. I'm not questioning your intelligence there was someone out there who responded one time and told me that hyperbole is the forbidden fruit and question my belief in God. Clearly the man had more to deal with then there ability to comprehend the English language. That's the end of my ranting peace good luck and many blessings

[@DivineEarthSchool]

Awesome video Landon! Thanks, I'm curious do you experience revenue sharing on some of the cover songs that you do? If so is does it keep the video "above water" as you state?

[@arjundeshmukh71]

plssss tell ....meeee does an artist who uploads his orignal music video or track can they earn ......

[@aubreybunn]

Hi Landon! 😊 you're truly amazing, and I love you so much. Keep up the great work 💕.

[@louisaambarita]

when you get copyrighted, do you get half the revenue ??

[@achiever1418]

For most of the time .... No !!! 😭😭

[@gnaistvlogs]

I still think Whataburger is losing HUGE money for not endorsing you. Maybe if they made a lipgloss?? Haha. Awesome video, Landon!! Super informative!

[@dentertainmenttrend263]

how about making instrumental music cover?can it be monetized?

[@taubzkaranas7969]

That's what I wanna know too

[@mystichimes]

Thanks for the candid advice... this will really help budding musicians on youtube.

[@TomerShtein]

Hello Landon, Great Vid! Just wanted to ask - I understand that making an original music is a better way to make money on youtube. BUT - if I make covers - there is no way to make money at all from it? Thanks!

[@livingwell79]

Do you mean we can upload our own composed songs also and make money?

[@MixingGBP]

What kind of monitors are those on your desk? And nice UA channel strip you have there.

[@JustArtStuffs]

oh thats so interesting! never crossed my mind that each type of video would make money/be affected in different ways

[@hatsmyth]

I am from India, and I ve been struggling for a long... I have been doing original songs and music since a lot of time.... trying every genre of music, and still trying.... few of my tracks have crossed millions, and I am very much thankful for that.... but I am unable to earn much from youtube.... and I think my tracks are n't reaching the right audience.... At times, rather than following the global trends, I am going along local interests, "the type" of music that an Indian audience will love hearing (or more specifically, doing it as per taste of people around my state) what should I do? I would appreciate if you could visit my channel, hear out my stuff and aid me with the matter... thanks for the video Landon!

[@meghaseth5815]

Rajat Prakash Music visited your Channel. The thing about your channel is you're not consistent. Try to be more consistent.

[@natbat23]

Rajat Prakash Music look into cruise ship musician jobs. You can travel for free while living on a boat for free

[@ta-ya-music]

I looked into your channel the music and the branding are both piece of shit you got a 4M+ just by luck by those stupid trend over ganja freaks work more on it Bruh

[@sagarock1012]

One honest straight forward suggestion is stop KZbin and get a job earn money do music part time

[@ChrisChronos]

Thanks for making this video! Just curious, Can i monetize a cover video that hasn't been copyright claimed? I don't mind sharing revenue but some of the songs I've done in the past haven't been copyright claimed at all, maybe cause they dont sound enough like the original song? What do I do in this situation?

[@OnlyLoveCanLimitUs]

Excellent Video!! Loved the feel, production and especially the relevant information. :)

[@SuperRockin4ever]

I know almost three chords and will be teaching a lesson on the first two next year

[@krsol439]

sir can you please tell me how artist get vevo account is their any process please tell me

[@Systasis724]

i posted an original song a few years ago that got claimed by some record company. Was this maybe from when anything and everything was getting claimed on youtube? I had no idea what to even do to get my rights back as a creator. Is youtube safe again/anymore?

[@nicbonhomme9877]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom - much appreciated!

[@BasilSimon]

Thanks for your genuine communication and useful information. I have been writing and producing original material since I was an egg and ended up losing faith in the industry. This was due to my incredible all seeing imagination showing me just how many kids are now making music on their computers. It seemed to me that fighting for breath in an ocean of wannabes was not now the right way to try to breath at all! , But..... Making music is the one thing that defines me. Without it I drown! So, I am trapped. Videos like yours deliver a sense of hope and inspiration. I know a huge amount about making music but certainly not enough about selling it. I evolved in a world where someone else was always going to do that for me! Guess what? I never did get whisked off in a limousine to my happy ever after! The world changed. And so I must change with it. Once again.... Thanks for the video, it helped me leave my bed today with a faint glimmer of direction. Have a fantastic day! Keep going, you rock!

[@fernandodagasdas2917]

How long sir we can earn money to our cover song in KZbin ?.Avid fan from Philippines.

[@elobrite]

Hi Landon, do you promote gospel music? Can we chat on that line

[@LukeDayInTheUK]

Thanks for these tips. I can apply them to my own uploads.

[@UMVLOGZ12]

becoz im a rapper if my Music Video Wont Have Ads How Will I Get Paid For My Songs??

[@magallanthepenguin9132]

I asked an small artist if I could use their music on video and he said I could. I like to share art... Gaming with music. I'm more interested in views than money. I never put ads. When I looked at KZbin studios it says that I will get ads in my videos for the artist of that song. What if I use multiple copyrighted songs? How will they get paid?

[@YariBeatsMedia]

Cool dude. Endorsements is what makes a bedroom producer thatd be ideal.

[@SashleyStevens]

Hi Landon, I discovered your music recently through Alex Goot's channel. Have you thought of creating a GoFundMe or a Kickstarter? They are similar to Patreon but with their own angle. Also creating a website and displaying Ads will help increase revenue.

[@asifhafeezkhan]

If any musician play the famous song on his instrument and he shares his instrumental on KZbin. Will he be able to get money by his instrumental video or money will go to the singer or producer, who has the copyrights of that song?

[@garrisoncourt]

Hey man! Myself and my brother have just started a KZbin channel, and watching your videos is a huge inspiration for is so thank you so much! Love what you're doing man! 😊

[@jon021ful]

hey dude thought this was really interesting im a musician too and produce as well but having trouble making money out of you tube maybe we could have a skype call to discuss in further detail

[@Pallya888]

Your pretty low key funny et you got a great sense of humour much love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🌹

[@Lianaandmoods]

Oh, great video ! Any tips on how to promote your original music ? I would rather not make covers because I want to be known as a songwriter... (But maybe I should.)

[@GemmaDoyleOfficial]

Hi Landon, Can you kindly share how you manage to get that beautiful look in your videos? Is it your camera type, lighting or a filter added into editing? Thank you, Gemma

[@audsdacity]

GemmaDoyleOfficial he might be using a ring light kind of like how beauty youtubers do

[@GemmaDoyleOfficial]

Thank you Audrey...What's a ring light?

[@audsdacity]

It's a circular tube of lighting that has a hole in the middle for your camera to go, and it just lights up your face, basically. Here's on I found on Amazon, but there are a ton of options and even some that are designed to just go around the camera on your phone: www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Dimmable-Adapter-Diffuser-Installed/dp/B01N0RTAWN/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1500497676&sr=8-24&keywords=ring+light&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011

[@GemmaDoyleOfficial]

Ahh wow, thank you Audrey! I will have to get one! Keep doing great :) Best wishes, Gemma

[@GraceSaren]

Very honest upload. Thank you.

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Landon, I see that youtube has a search mechanism to display status of the cover of a song. For example, if I even use a Johnny Cash song on my video, the only possible thing that could happen is my video monetization would be to the reclaimer. If a make a cover, we can even share some of monetization. I have put several copyrighted songs on some of my videos and youtube only alerts me that monetization goes to the reclaimer. I don´t mind, since I don´t want to make money with that. I only want to use youtube as an advertisement platform for my musical image. What do you think about it ?

[@oscarroman3574]

thank you for sharing that. one thing that is not clear to me is: If I have only audio original tracks how to sell it on youtube music? thank you|

[@TorIvanBoine]

Do you know how to register your songs with youtube content ID, so when others are using your music, you get ad revenues from it?

[@motivated942]

Subscribed..great delivery👌

[@williampackard8463]

Will you promote other artist songs that touch your heart or speak to you?

[@bradlarson474]

So,I'm looking to supplement my income doing music on KZbin. I have an original I'm working on which is acoustic guitar based. I have a Website through Fandalism. I tried to navigate through this home studio called Acid Music Studio 10 which I bought at Best Buy. No luck. What do you suggest? I am a complete rookie.

[@russelladams2245]

How do i know when im making quality music

[@nnataliered]

I really hope that one day I can do this :)

[@Tibelou26]

You browsed over the part about putting songs up for sale on Spotify and iTunes pretty fast. I'm completely new at this and I'm wondering if you can actually do a cover song and sell it on iTunes? From what i read you can? Can you tell me where to find more info on this? I'm trying to learn all I can before starting a KZbin channel of my own. Thank you for providing good information 👍🏻😃

[@audsdacity]

Tibelou26 I did a quick google search and it looks like you have to get a special license. The info I found might be old but you have to contact the original song publisher and send a letter of intent and then send royalties back. Here's the link to what I found hope this helps! diymusician.cdbaby.com/music-rights/how-to-legally-sell-downloads-of-cover-songs/

[@Noah_Schmid]

I once heard peter hollens say you get half the revenue of a coversong if you disclaim it as such?

[@lovelilly16]

Hey Landon. I'm actually doing research with my university (University of California, Davis) on this topic right now and this video was extremely relevant to our work. I would love to chat with you further about this to learn a little more - do you have an email I could use to contact you? Thanks so much!

[@landon]

+lovelilly16 hey! yeah tweet me and ill dm you an email. Landonaustin

+lovelilly16 Sent you a tweet a few days ago! Let me know if you want me to send another - looking forward to getting in touch!

[@0xbitbybit]

So you put a link to the song on iTunes or Spotify........what stops people from just downloading it directly off KZbin? So many KZbin to MP3 type sites or programs to do it for you, surely that has to impact fairly hard on people like you.

[@maximostafiichuk6719]

Then they aren't true supporters. They would buy the real thing if they actually cared and wanted the guy to make money therefore they would support him by buying it.

Hello can you tell how to make money from my music videos production.. How Music Video Producers makes money i mean Beginners ??

[@livius1971]

How much does a beginner singer earns?

[@kingkingmendelife6646]

That's so cool mate, you got that in you. I need a producer as well, wanna do music for a living.

[@Spooky_Psyche]

That's interesting. I didn't know the owner of the song could take the money from cover videos. That kinda sucks, but I guess it's only fair. How much on average does it cost to make an original song? Lindsey Stirling mentioned that it cost her around $2,000 per song to record and have it produced. Is that accurate?

[@Spooky_Psyche]

Actually, I can't remember if it was $2,000 for 3 songs or just 1.

[@landon]

+bulldog521521 Hey bulldog. You can spend as much or as little money on a video as you want. However, I always try and make the video work within my Patreon budget. Its just a nice way to know that every video's costs are covered.

[@Spooky_Psyche]

The Elements Da hell. If you're gonna self-advertise, at least make sure your comment is relevant to the conversation lol

[@theelements6302]

When Landon responded to you He said Hey Bulldog. I was just making a joke. Just cause you didn't get it, you don't have to be a jerk.

[@Spooky_Psyche]

The Elements​ Oh. Well now I feel stupid. But I still don't feel like I was being a jerk. It looked like you were self-advertising and self advertisers are literally _everywhere_ I go on KZbin. Forgive me for being a bit bitter towards them 😶

[@contactanilkumarbth]

sir how to upload my cover song without copyright issue

[@audsdacity]

Anil Kumar if it's a cover you're always going to have that copyright issue, labels and their lawyers work with KZbin to check if their copyrighted material is up there constantly. BUT if it's a cover you're still allowed to upload your video, you just won't get ad revenue since it's not your song. Copyright is only a problem when you use the actual copyrighted track straight from the album. That's when you'll get flagged.

[@MALEEKIE28]

Hey, dude would you ever collab, with any underground artists?
