Hi Reader 🤗

In this week's newsletter, I cover topics including:

• How I deal with the income rollercoaster
• Where I get high quality vocals for my tracks
• A tool to pick your brand colours

MAIN TOPIC

How I deal with the income rollercoaster as a music creator

This might be the hardest part of being a full-time music creator:

👉 One month, I can make over $15,000
​👉 The next, I can make less than $3,000

And no one really prepares you for that.

I used to panic at the end of each month, wondering:

“Am I going to make enough to pay my bills?”

Here's what the last quarter looked like:

• March: $6,205 — solid
• April: $3,555 — yikes!
• May: $13,654 — amazing!!!

Is it volatile? Absolutely.

But when you zoom out and take the quarterly average, it comes out to $7,804/month.

That’s more than enough for bills, savings, and some fun.

So to get out of the panic mode, I stopped obsessing over monthly numbers — and started looking at things quarterly, even yearly.

All I had to do was to stop thinking like an employee… and start thinking like a business owner.

Easier said than done but over time, it got better!

One more thing that helps?

💡 Keeping a buffer in my business account — to ride the low months without stress.

Usually, I like to keep 2-3 months of business expenses in there to feel safe.

Being a full-time music creator gets easier with time — but only if you treat it like a real business.

Branding is an essential part to standing out online as a music creator.

In order to choose my colours, I use this cool website called Coolors.

What I love is that you can browse trending colour palettes to get inspired and most importantly, it lets you visualize your colours.
