When you have created your song and mixed and mastered it, you probably want to share it with the world. Your goal is likely to get as many people as possible to listen to your music, and earn a nice bit of income with it. But how do you do this?

As soon as you share your music, you are in one way or another part of the music industry. The music industry is a big, complicated web of rights, ownership, and money. If properly understood, it can generate a nice income for you. But if not properly understood, you may indirectly lose money that belongs to you. It can take a while before you get a good understanding of the industry, so make sure you take the time to let the knowledge sink in, reread it if necessary, and stay open to new information.
