Been making EDM musics for almost 20 years now. Doesn't make much money but I just created a Patreon account to try and stir up more dollars. I've always offered my catalog for free via newgrounds.com and I probably won't stop doing that. After years of unironically saying "if only I made a dollar every time someone downloaded my music" I've finally decided to join a platform that gives me the ability to make pennies back! Hurrah!
The nature of taking money from people for making noise always unsettled me. Music is a silly thing, frivolous. It seems unfair to charge people for what I think is mostly just noise pornography. Regardless, 20 years is a long time to dedicate to a hobby. For the low cost of $1 per track, you can make me feel like those years weren't spent chasing silly dreams. You could also donate that money to a real cause next time you get asked at the grocery store if you want to support something like finding cures for leukemia or helping stray animals. It's your money, I'd recommend opening a savings account. Build your credit. Buy yourself something nice.
Or sign up as a Patreon and hope I don't write any new music ever again! How awesome would that be if you accidentally registered to become a patreon and I never wrote music ever again? It's a possibility! You can live that possibility!! JOIN PATREON WITHOUT THINKING. SPONSER ME LIKE I'M SOME KIND OF ENDANGERED ANIMAL WITH A WEBPAGE THAT TELLS YOU WHERE I AM AT ALL TIMES. BECOME A PERSON THAT CAN PROVE THEY MAKE AT LEAST A FEW DOLLARS EVERY YEAR, BECAUSE THAT'S ALL I WILL EVER TAKE FROM YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU <3 <3 <3
