Can You ACTUALLY Make Money With AI Music Generators?

can you make money with AI music can you use AI music generators and make money from those songs long story short yes I hate YouTubers that ramble on basically in this video I'm going to answer the question one can you make money with AI music yes I've already done it two I'm going to show you exactly how I did it and then three give you my overall perspectives and tell you a lot of things you need to know if you're considering releasing AI music so the first thing I did is I picked an AI music

generator I picked sunno the main two are sunno and yudo they're kind of right now like the Coke and Pepsi of AI music generators there isn't really a big reason why I just like sunno better in terms of the gooey and the songs are good so I just pick sunno I paid for the membership so was $10 for the entire month and I made 11 albums each one containing 11 songs I'll explain why the number 11 in a little bit but basically I released 121 songs 121 so once I picked my AI music generator the

next thing I did is I wanted to pick songs with song titles and song topics that I think would be semi viral or could go viral so I'm into to here this is a technique I've used I've talked about it in a bunch of other videos I have a video list Below in the description of how I've made my music go viral not my AI not my uh AI music but my own personal music uh on my fero project which is my main artist project so you can see right here these are the top search

things on Google right what this allows me to do is see okay what are things that if I make a song about it there's a chance it might pop up cuz someone's probably and exuse me definitely already searching for it on Google Maybe YouTube etc etc so through this list I then start to make categories of different groups or subjects that I could make albums about for example if I go here these right now this the time this video there's the most searched people in 2024 of course people like Taylor Swift Ronaldo Messi Napoleon Eminem

um Usher um Tom Cruz LeBron James so these are very popular people so what I did then is after looking at this after kind of being like okay let me look at all the SEO I just called the search engine optimization I created 11 categories and to show you we're now going to go to uh districted here I did fast food I then did what they call like influencers SL celebrities I then did music festivals I then did AI generating tools I vended athletes social media platforms Pokemon mainly like holiday type theme things as you

can see here I then did and I will show you the track list of each one of these but I'm just doing this quickly and then did stores and then did actual specific not just celebrities but more actors and actresses and then lastly um airline companies right and what I did is for each one of these I actually searched what is the top search Airlines for example in the world what are the top searched actresses and actors in the world so after doing this I'm going to show you them more in depth now here is

the list for example I'll show you each one of these in depth just to show you very quickly you know so you can see so for fast food for example um and this is actually why I had 11 Tracks originally I was do 10x 10 10 albums with 10 songs or maybe five albums with 10 songs but after having the Culver's Butter burger if you know you know phenomenal Burger I was like you know what I got to include Culver so you can see this is what I did these are some of the the top

search fast food chains in general now you may be wondering fast food's kind of a random place to start here's the thing not only did I want to see what are the top searched things but what are things that people are likely to make a video about on Tik Tok and Instagram if you're on Tik Tok and you go to Jack In The Box for example and you make a video you're pretty likely and this has happened and this has already happened which I'll show you in a little bit which is cool to see oh

wow you know uh I've to out a song why not to search Jack in the Box when it comes to music So Not only was I thinking of what are searchable terms but also what are terms and things that people will probably make content about specifically on social media platforms so going down here you can see right here um these are all the different uh celebrities I have I'll just show you this some show you these real quick under songs you can see right here like say if you go to EDC the big Electronic Music

Festival and you want to you know post a story about it or whatever you might search this right these are the different AI generated tools as you can see as well right so for example there were people making videos about chat gbt for example then when it comes to athletes this has probably been a big one for me especially with the Olympics just happening with some mes you know so this is a huge list and these are all again top search things people are doing this one as you can see everything from only fans to

YouTube right and then going down here different Pokemon this has also been another big one there's a lot of searches about different Pokémon and people making content about Pokemon of course Pokemon is the biggest and most profitable franchise of all time then going down here for any kind of Celebration this one isn't as big yet this is kind of one that I think will be big around that celebration time which makes sense right it's a very timely thing when it comes to this style where you know for example when it's Hanukkah when it's Thanksgiving when

it's Valentine's Day that's when these songs will probably Spike up and then go right back down right I've talked about this before in other videos that my most popular song is called St Patrick's Day and and that song has been very profitable for me it was the number one song in the world to use on St Patrick's a and as it makes sense because it was called St Patrick's a a lot of people use it in their um their viral videos or whatever then just stores so like say if you're in Old Navy and you're

shopping and you want to make a video there's a chance if you search on the music like hey I'm just going to pick an Old Navy song this song might pop up and then we have of course all these different actresses and actors sometimes people make content about them and then lastly Airlines this is a big one seems kind of random I feel like compared to all these but if you're traveling and you're on Delta or American or United or whatever you have these right here you know I just actually flew to Hawaii I just

got back I guess technically so I was on Delta like say if I made a v Delta this could pop up so I then also call the artist the infinite Lamb Chop there's a whole funny backstory behind that basically I created these 11 albums right then I went to distri and as you can see I released these 11 albums on distri kid Which is my Main Music uh distributor basically I went to distri it's about $23 $24 a year for unlimited uploads I uploaded all these albums and I was good to go in addition I

use AI to make the album artwork as you can see these are my fero releases so these are my actual like human songs if I call that these are all made by AI so if I go to Gemini you can see here this is when I was working on the um the let's go to the mall album I use this right so I use this one right here you can see I asked AI to create a image of Target and I like this but then I like the target symbol right so then I went to

a AI tool called pixler you can use this for like graphic design think it like a online Photoshop type platform and then I went to AI tools and I can use things like for example gener of re um transform backdrop removing background or removing an object so I removed the object of this and went away and then it created uh where is it this right here as you can see this is gone that's removed by AI so did all of this right I picked the exact song titles and album subjects I wanted went toso created

all the songs with suo I then of course created all the album artwork again using AI I do some of it myself like this is created by me in terms of like the text but that took two seconds right then I released it so then what happened so this is a really unique platform called song stats this shows you where you're getting plays streams um where people are using your music on Tik Tok and Instagram all over so this is my catalog here's what's funny within the first 24 hours I'm going to give him a

shout out someone used my Carl's Jr song within the first 24 hours of releasing my first album and remember my first album was about um fast food so got to give a shout out to Mr kimon hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly so let me see if I can turn this up [Music] [Music] so that was the first time and went within 24 hours someone had already used cars Jr by the infinite lamb shop and AI artist in one of their videos right that to me kind of blew my mind and then since then you know

if I go to song out some of this isn't 100% accurate I have to be honest but if I go to analytics let me go to Tik toks you can see I've had this got cut off a little bit but it's about over 100 videos have been made using this I'm got about 32,000 views total across Tik Tok all these video likes you can see so far for whatever reason the top Tik Tok tracks or the top songs made by AI to use in your Tik Tok videos so far has been jener Anderson I guess

it makes sense you know obviously the famous actress someone bios's next something about Amazon Alexa Scarlet Johansson so these are the different Tik Tok track so so people are already using my songs on Tik Tok right so thing on Instagram you know um if I go down here not as much on Instagram but they're still being used and again song stots is not 100% accurate I to be honest like I feel like there's a lot more videos I've seen already from the infinite Lamb Chop especially if I go to catalog I can go really in-

depth with each one of these like some of them have more hits and others but some of them surprisingly have like a good amount um like if I go to uh's see him I think he has a good amount you can see here that you know I mean I guess only eight right but it's kind of interesting see that people are already using AI music and their Tik Tok videos and their Instagram videos and in addition I signed up all these songs all these songs my entire catalog with song trust which collects the performance rights

or basically I get the performance rights royalties performance rights organization royalties any single time my song is performed which basically means on streaming platforms if it's used on Tik Tok Etc so with that being said what about streaming like cuz a lot of people want to know can you make money from am music on Spotify so if I go to Spotify here's what gets a little interesting this is where now after all that being said mostly positive mostly interesting what now so so far since I've started this project I've gotten 229 streams on Spotify not

the craziest let's let's be honest that's not anything mind-blowing let's go to Amazon music on Amazon music I'm doing better so on Amazon music I'm getting about one view per hour um I have a theory which is kind of funny as a side note on Amazon music if I go down here my top songs in the past 24 hours at least the time this video the time recording is Amazon Alexa if I go to like say um let's do like um earlier this year when I I think I I can't remember when I released the

first album I'll just do January 1 so basically all time as basic what I'm doing you can see my alltime views are or streams are 765 and my top one by far is Amazon Alexa with 530 I have a theory that the reason why that's the most popular is I wonder if someone says like hey Alexa play this song and they mean to play a different song but then someone Amazon Alexa thinks it wants them to play the song literally called Amazon Alexa right so again just kind of funny really interesting from an SEO perspective

and an analytics perspective so with all this being said I have made money but how much and dral please dral please you can see here d d $290 6 cents pretty insane after showing you now all that information let's get into the nitty-gritty can you actually make a lot of money with AI music especially someone for me who's been a musician all my life I've been a full-time YouTuber if I'd call it that for 10 years I specialize a lot in music distribution I have some of the top videos in the world about releasing music

can you make legitimate money legit money releasing ad music the answer is actually yes now in this case it's kind of funny to show you cuz I want to be very transparent on this video I made what about a few bucks using AI tools not a lot but one if I I if I use this word I have to use this phrase carefully it's passive it is passive income I'm not doing anything and I know for the rest of time I will continue to make money with this right secondly though is it a lot and

this is thing as we all know when it comes to most artists and this where gets very tricky I've done a lot of videos about AI music and some of the legality which I'll talk about in a second but also so the technical and logistical aspects is this most artists make their money from touring from merch from other places streaming and downloading doesn't really pay the bills I mean if you talk to a lot of artists even big artists like Snoop Dogg has talked about this and other ones even for artists that are pretty massive

when you look at how many streams they're getting versus how much money they're making yeah some of them make a good amount but when you factor and everything you're like it's not really that much and we all know this Spotify Apple music they just don't pay a lot per Stream So you you're going to have to release one an incredible amount of music to get this somewhere second things like marketing com to play this is why when it comes to this technique like I showed you using the SEO keyword analysis technique being more technical if

I had to I mean it can work and I'm doing nothing right I've not promoted this anywhere it's it's it's purely organic I haven't really mentioned the infinite lamp Chop on any of my videos you can't make money doing it but you going have to do a lot of marketing and also three I might even use this word is luck right because there are and I've done this um I've talked about this excuse me in other videos that there are AI artists who like say just make Jazz records or ambient records or meditative me records

that they just release them and there are people using AI music and making actually a good amount of money because Spotify through the luck of the role of the dice Spotify picks it up and starts promoting it and I've talked about this before that there's some articles now that have kind of gone into the nitty-gritty and anal and done some analysis and they found that there's one week or this happening a lot that half the song recommendations on Spotify saying hey like check out this weekly set of songs that you got to listen to half

them about were actually made by Ai and you're like oh okay and some of them are getting like hundreds of thousands of streams so yes you can make a good amount of money but like I said it's one of those situations where if someone said to me like can you make money I'm trying to like a good example of this it's like can you make money as I don't know a professional athlete it's like well yeah but how realistic is it not so much and I think that's kind of similar when it comes to AI

music I know a lot of people I think right now are looking at this is a very easy way to make money right because if you think about it sunno is $10 a month and I'll talk about why I should pay for it in a second soono is $10 a month right so you're looking at $120 a year I think if you get it yearly it's also cheaper right if you pay for the entire year drien is $23 a year so let's just round that to 140 150 bucks for so for 140 to 150 bucks

you could legit release an album a day and just see where it goes and if you use all these SS like I showed you if you're smart with distribution it's very easy to pick it up I've done a lot of videos like I said about how to release music you can legitimately make a lot of money and I have had a lot of people hit me up saying hey Mark you know I'm I'm an AI artist that's a thing now I've had a lot of people say to me like hey Mark I'm actually an AI

artist which is kind of funny it's kind of like almost a paradox we'll talk about that in different video but it is interesting that that there are so many people now and I know DJs I I'm friends actually personally with people who have said you know what why learn Ableton why spend Years Learning Ableton when I can like just type in one sentence onso and not only is it going to make me a song in two seconds which is quicker but also and I I hate to say I get this perspective this song thatso makes

or yudo makes is going to sound way better than anything I could make myself and I hate to say that kind of have a point right so they then they're taking that song releasing it and they're already making money with it right lastly one thing I I do have to mention is legality I have a video list Below in the description where I went really in depth about the legal aspects it is a great area on both ends right and all I'm going to say is this this is all I'm going to say watch that

video if you want to aggressively oversimplify yes there are some potential gray areas that could say Hey you know you don't have to pay for the membership in case you don't know witho for example with sunno if you if you have the free membership and you create songs using the free membership you don't have the commercial rights to it meaning you're not allowed to release that on Spotify but if you pay for it you do have the commercial rights to it right so not only is that payment giving you access to more premium features on

soono like releasing songs quicker but also get the commercial rights there is a great area if that's actually true or not could soono actually go after you if let's say you you know not you didn't get their free membership tough to say but for me I'm like you know what for 10 bucks I'm just going to do it in addition if you have the the uh premium membership and you pay the $10 for that month you can I think make 10 songs at once like rapid fire with a free one I think you only make

like one or two so with the free version it takes way longer to make songs with the premium one or the $10 a month right so that's why I did that so I want to say that a sign note because it comes to the legal aspects to me it's like there's a chance potentially that sunno could go after you there's a potential legal chance that they could if you just have the free membership and you're releasing songs so why not just spend the $10 right why not just spend the 10 bucks but at the end

of the day yes you can make money releasing an music and I have but one it's not a lot I think like I said there has to be a lot of different factors that kind of all converge into one to would really allow you to live off this like could I live off the infinite Lamb Chop or maybe I could release you know an album a day and spend a lot of time doing it and maybe at some point I start getting $100 a month then maybe $11,000 a month and yes maybe that is possible

but remember you're still trying to make money and I think this is the big thing about AI music that I think a lot of people forget is it seems enticing it seems so easy to make content and and you could do it fa this I know like a big trend on YouTube that you see all the time when people say like oh here's how to make five or 10 grand on YouTube without showing your face right people love I think an easy way out I think people love kind of a Magic Bullet especially when it

comes to financial stuff right I mean you know in music I think for some people seems like a very uh quick and easy magic bullet to quickly make a ton of money and yes you potentially can and there are people who are doing it but they're far and few between because remember it comes down to this one funny thing at the end of the day this after this whole video it's not about using am music generators it's not about the quality of the songs it's not about the titling like I showed you not even as

much about the marketing although that can help the biggest thing out of all this is streaming services don't pay a lot that's really what it comes out of that's the big overarching thing streaming services do not pay a lot even the RPMs which means the technical aspect of how much money you make from ad revenue on YouTube for example doesn't pay a lot for music as well so it's not like you can go on YouTube post a music video made by AI it's going to make a ton of money it potentially can make an okay

amount but the RPMs for music on YouTube are extremely low and so it's one of those things at the end of the day that yes well you can make money with AI music for most people and I might use this number I might say for 99% of people you can spend a ton of time to make not that much money and even say you start do making money it's going to be very limited because streaming services don't pay a lot and then you also have to ask a question like I've talked before in other videos

what about performing out you know what about performance are am I going to get a DJ Gig maybe someday with the infinite lamp chop and they like hey we want the infinite lamb shop to perform at or festival or whatever really really tricky right but whether you like it or hate it whether you can make a lot of money or you can't yeahi music's here to stay and fortunately or unfortunately depending on you look at it it's going to continue Big Time continue to get bigger
