It’s definitely possible to make a living. I made about 1k in April from 4 RF sites. I’m basically a newbie at Music loops (1 of the 4), and I have been reluctant to build my library at Audio Jungle (also 1 of the 4). So the biggest revenue is from Pond5 at present. I am composing and uploading like mad now though. So I expect things to only improve from here. Once I start making enough. going to play live more and try to start a band. Things are looking good.
It took me 3 years so far to get where I am. I think within another 1-2 years I will have reached my goal of making essentially what I would at a full time job. Not giving up.I have the same problem. Although I’m not sure if it’s 30-40. Maybe more like 10-20 tracks at one time. I have about 1,200+ music tracks produced now (over the last 3 years). Some are pretty good, some are just okay. But I’ve been amazed at what has sold and what hasn’t. Sometimes it might be that it’s just poorly tagged or just not getting views, or maybe you end up finding a niche. Now I just need to have the discipline to upload those tracks to other sites. I only go through audiojungle, pond5 and musicloops at the present. So, I feel like I need to take a break from writing and just spend time uploading my catalogue to other sites or else in another year I’ll end up with 1,800 tracks and not able to catch up. I feel swamped. Need to just take a break from writing. Especially since I lost my younger Brother a little over a month ago. Feel like a breather has been good. Ironically April was my best month, with about $1,000 in earnings just from those 3 sites.
So I personally am going to start to focus on getting more exposure for the tracks I already have, and uploading to more sites. Maybe that will work for you too? Maybe when you get back to composing you’ll come back with fresh ears.I don’t think it’s an official rule at AudioJungle. However, I’m sure it’s encouraged to use a watermarked track whenever posting. The only negative I see is that people get annoyed with hearing “Audiojungle” over and over, which I’ve actually had comments on before. But what is more important to you, protecting your music? or giving people your raw, unadulterated track? So I think it’s up to you.
Lesser known but still great. azurite and detuna. They are both chorus plugins with unusual results.
