I have over 170 stock music tracks on prominent websites like Premiumbeat, Shutterstock Music and Shockwave-Sound and in my experience, I find that it really depends on the time and type of music that you compose. Because there is so much stock music out there, i think that quantity is as important as quality. What i often do to save time is re use templates of my tracks; change the melody and chords around and you have a whole new track, it’s an easy way to cover more ground and have more people actually buy your track!

That being said, I’m selling my own drum loops, many of which i use in my own tracks! They’re a great tool to get started/continue writing stock music and i’m giving a few of them away for free! Check it out! 🙂

Hi Guscave. Sorry for the late reply, you can read more about how I promote my music here: https://eaglecinematics.com/category/promoting-music-online. This blog has not been updated in a while, so I would probably do things a bit different now, but in general, I would follow the same principles 🙂

In reply to EagleCinematics. I'm interested in knowing what types of marketing you're doing to drive sales to your Music on RF sites like Pond 5.

In reply to Kta. Why is that laughable? It's like running a marathon, you have to pace yourself and be in this for the long haul. That's what happens, people drop out of the race, you need to have lasting stamina, discipline and the will to keep going. 1000+ quality tracks is what it will take to rise above the noise and make a good living...

In reply to Desire Inspires. Go to AudioJungle and check out Sky, Pink Zebra and many, many others. They are netting over $100,000 a year on AudioJungle alone. It certainly can be done, but it's not for the timid. Unfortunately your attitude saying you can't is what will ultimately prevent you from doing so. There's always a way and a place for you in the market of 7,000,000,000+ people...

In reply to Desire Inspires.

well, actually i upload regularly on audiojungle, which has a very annoying uploading system, so your observation is not quite appropriate… 🙂
On AJ I upload 1 file a week, which is SOOO annoying!
on pond5 i upload my files using the bulk uploader and the template funcion, which is really the best system they can have conceived.
i feel that, while on AJ you get a very short exposure by being on the fron page after an upload, on P5 there is no such advantage, so i can upload all at once.
