davido blow my mind video has over 20m views. 1 million views equals $8,000 excluding audio streams. do the math and make a hit track.bye

How many of them would have up to 10million views? And that should be Davido's only song that has up to 20million views. Many of them mix legit with illegal

I've calculated it with the highest paid guy by youtube and your estimation is flawed, it's not up to that at all

Then, how do gospel Artist make their own money too?

Please, come for refund of all your.school fees!

trevorhorace:


So u made like 1.3m Cool

Has anyone in Nigerian ever bought song online?

Pearlyakin:
They still make money from downloads and streaming especially on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube i don't know much about boom player maybe they receive money through it.

udoekere:
I want to go into music but someone just discourage me that musicians don't really make money from music downloads, how true is this?

Sorry for the comment I'm about to make but the truth, they say, is bitter.

I doubt if you will 'make it' simply because your action is driven by the money, not passion. You see, in anything you do in life, it's easier to make it when you've got the passion, it makes you tough and going when the going gets tough and you will eventually succeed.

Please don't get me wrong or misquote me, not that you cannot 'make it', you just might do... that is why I used the word 'doubt'

Justbeingreal:


The industry seems choked up mehn even most popular names you know with multiple songs out are still struggling. Just few big names are really chopping money in it.

Fame doesn't equals success.

U can try your luck tho if you're good. U can get money from being signed to a label, shows, endorsements and online sales on different platforms for streaming your joints.

Fame doesn't mean success! True talk!

muzically:
Itunes, Spotify etc

Cool cash

At $0.007 per stream, my song of 2 wks generated 54,000 streams. That's about $378
I no be popular musician o!

pls can u put me through how to do that?

zinosleek:
If you want to really succeed in music, think about the music and not the money. The money will come after the music.

"Cash is no distraction when the passion is the glue"

ABCthings:
how many Nigerians are ready to pay for mere music. if the song is not free for download they will download the free ones. Even TV stations will seldomly play ya song

That's the thing Na. Nigerians are always used to bad thing and Na the artist dey promote these bad things along with the useless blogs.

udoekere:
does that mean that naijaloaded and co post people songs 4 free downloading?

They don't post the songs for free. The Artist pay them. And people download the songs for free. You see there's no sense in it ba?

muzically:


You can sell your songs on spotify. They'll stream it where it is available

How then do you register to sell your Song?

Don't forget big Gods for the gay guys and big goddesses for the gigolos

highest paid guy on YouTube has advert fees bro no just views.he made more money from paid advert and commercial on his channel. hope this info helps
check celebritynetworth.com for his details

jcmaiah:

1million views doesn't have a specific amount. It depends on how many ads people viewed completely before your video plays. Moreover currently 1million views might not get you beyond 1-2k USD

chair,davido has a verified channel, its not some random channel. its managed by DMV and rca records(USA).davido doesn't need adverts to boost views ,adverts needs him

Awol1:
