Start A Blog Reviewing and Interpreting Songs
This is one of the easiest ways to make money with songs. There are thousands of people searching daily for the meaning of songs in every genre. All you need to do is build a blog around these songs.
In addition, you can also look for lyrics and their meaning and build a website based on them.
You can find these topics using keyword research tools like Ahref, SEMrush, or Answer the public. These keyword tools will provide you with the specific topics people are searching for, the number of searches every month, and the keyword difficulty.
After you have all the songs you need to either interpret or review, you then start listening to the songs, create great content and publish it. The next obvious question is how can I make money with this?
You make money by either placing Ads on the site or using affiliate offers. With the Ads, use either Google AdSense or Ezoic depending on the number of monthly page views you have. Also, are dozens of sites you can affiliate with to provide assistance to your audience.
You can use sites like Digistore24 or Clickbank to recommend affiliate offers related to the music or songs. Some of these affiliate offers pay up to $20 per sale. This can add up really quickly. If you get one sale a day, you will be making about $600.00 a month easy.
Start A YouTube Channel Reviewing and Interpreting Songs
Similarly, instead of a blog, you can start a YouTube Channel based on these songs.
Starting a blog means buying a domain name and hosting it at a cost. However, with a YouTube channel, you won’t incur such costs. All you will need is a microphone and camera to film your videos.
There are hundreds of YouTube Channels reviewing and interpreting the meaning of songs and making thousands of dollars every month.
To begin, first, find the keywords using any keyword tool you prefer. Some are free but some will cost you some money every month. After that, using the keyword, structure your content around those ideas. Google will place Ads on your videos after which you will start making money. You can also apply for affiliate offers and promote them through those videos.
Start A Blog Reviewing Different Bands
Another strategy is reviewing different brands and their songs.
There are a lot of different bands out there. There are indie bands which include indie rock bands, indie folk bands, Korean indie bands, etc. In addition, there are also country song bands and Christian bands as well.
Just like with the song meanings, your search for the keywords with the help of a keyword tool. Do a good job at creating impressive articles around those bands’ keywords and insert Ads and Affiliate offers into your content.
Start A Blog Reviewing the Best and Worst Musicians

First, you can either create a blog on the best musicians out there. Yes, people search for these kinds of words online. This can be in any kind of genre. They can be Christian, country, Hip-Hop, Jazz, etc. you name it. And as usual, you use those keywords to create and structure your articles and place either Ads or Affiliate offers on them.
Second, you can also create content specifically around the worst musicians and use those kinds of keywords to structure your website. Because music is a very expensive word in google’s eyes and people are constantly advertising, you will be making money in no time.
Start A How To Play Blog Or YouTube Channel
If you are an expert at any instrument and you know how to play songs people like, then you can use this strategy to build a blog or YouTube Channel.
Do the research, and find the songs people are looking for that create how-to articles or videos showing people how to play the different songs they love. Millions of people search on google every minute for how to play songs by musicians such as Adele, Justin Bieber, and Michael Jackson. Do that and you can make money listening and playing songs.
In addition, you can teach people specifically how to play instruments such as the piano, guitar, etc., and use affiliate offers to provide expert lessons on those topics and commissions when they purchase those services. Google AdSense or Ezoic are other options to make this work.
Refer People to Find Royalty Free Music for Their Music Productions Using Your Blog or YouTube Channel
Music producers, YouTubers, etc. are constantly searching for royalty-free music to put into their videos.
With this in mind, build a blog or YouTube Channel, curate the various places to find these free resources, and place Ads and other Affiliate offers on them.
