AI Music Paychecks with Soundraw: Create Passive Income Assets Without Being a Musician

Welcome back to the AI Paycheck podcast! Host Raje sits down with AI asset expert Daniel Sontra to unlock one of the coolest side hustles available today: generating professional, high-quality music using artificial intelligence. For many people, music creation seems impossible, requiring instruments, studio time, and talent, but Daniel proves that this barrier is completely gone.

This episode is your blueprint for turning the revolutionary platform Soundraw into a consistent passive income stream.

Harnessing the Power of Soundraw:

Daniel breaks down exactly what Soundraw is and how it empowers non-musicians. Unlike generic generators, Soundraw allows you to act as the director. You start by choosing a genre, a mood (such as "dark," "energetic," or "relaxed"), and a theme (like "sports" or "fashion"). The AI handles the heavy lifting by creating numerous short music loops, which you then refine in the editor—customizing instruments, changing the structure, and guiding the overall feel of the track. With practice, you can create a polished, three-minute track in under 15 minutes, offering an incredible return on your time.

Crucial Legal Advantage: Owning the Asset

The most critical discussion focuses on copyright. Daniel explains that as a paid subscriber, you own the copyright completely. This music is your asset; you don't have to pay royalties or credit Soundraw, making it perfect for commercial projects, video games, and monetized videos.

Key Revenue Streams Revealed:

Discover four proven ways to turn your Soundraw creations into revenue:

1. Game Developer Music Packs: Tap into the massive indie game market. Learn how to bundle themed tracks (like "upbeat puzzle game" loops or "cyberpunk ambient" tracks) and sell them on marketplaces like the Unity Asset Store and itch.io, solving a budget problem for developers.
2. Streaming Platform Income: Build long-term passive income by distributing full-length songs to Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music using services like DistroKid. The strategy here is volume and niche, creating albums under hyper-specific categories like "Music for Studying" or "AI Generated Cyberpunk Focus".
3. Stock Music Catalog: Upload your tracks to popular stock music websites, including Pond5, Epidemic Sound, and AudioJungle, where filmmakers and advertisers will license them, earning you a continuous cut.
4. Content Creator Resources: Create royalty-free intro, outro, and background music packs for YouTubers and vloggers, selling them on your own website or platforms like Etsy and Gumroad.

The Strategy for Success:

Daniel emphasizes the necessity of focusing on volume and niche. Avoid being generic; instead, identify a market gap (e.g., high-quality horror game music) and become the expert for that specific category. We also cover essential starting tactics, including the importance of always delivering the high-quality WAV files, and the necessity of building a catalog of fifty to a hundred songs to truly see results.

If you enjoy the creative process of selection and refinement, this episode provides the practical steps needed to build your library of digital music assets and start earning your AI Paycheck.
