Your music catalogue is growing. Now learn how to turn those tracks into higher-value licensing opportunities.
Creating AI-generated music is only the first step. The bigger opportunity may come from understanding how that music can be licensed for film, television, advertising, games, online video, and commercial projects.
AI Music Money: License and Earn is a practical guide for AI music creators who have already started building a catalogue and want to move beyond basic stock music into more valuable licensing markets.
Inside this book, you'll discover:
- How to understand the legal and rights framework surrounding AI-generated music
- How to document your rights chain and prepare your catalogue for professional buyers
- The four major licensing approaches: sync, royalty-free, blanket, and direct licensing
- How the sync licensing market works for independent film, television, and online video
- How music supervisors and other professional buyers evaluate music
- How to approach advertising agencies, brands, production libraries, and direct clients
- Why indie games can offer an accessible market for AI music creators
- How to create loops and game-ready music for developers
- How to build tiered pricing, bundles, and blanket or subscription licensing offers
- The essential elements of a music licensing agreement and how to approach negotiations
- How to organize your catalogue with a deal register and rights-management system
- The different royalty-collection systems mentioned in the book, including PROs, the Mechanical Licensing Collective, SoundExchange, neighbouring rights, and Content ID
- A practical 90-day action plan for auditing your catalogue, finding buyers, making submissions, conducting outreach, and working toward your first placements
This is not a beginner's introduction to AI music generation. It is designed for creators who are ready to treat their music catalogue as a business and explore licensing opportunities beyond standard stock sales.
The same track can have very different commercial value depending on where, how, and under what terms it is licensed.
A stock library is one route.
Sync. Advertising. Games. Direct licensing.
These markets can open new possibilities for creators who understand how to package their music, approach buyers, structure agreements, and manage their rights.
Your catalogue already has value. The next step is learning how to license it.
