Buy Royalty Free Music Guide

By Grant Steiner


If you want to buy royalty free music and be able to use it for online videos, especially YouTube, look no further. This little guide will show you what is royalty free music and how to buy music that is royalty free.

In a nutshell, royalty free music is basically any music that you buy once, and can use for many different things without having to pay royalties on any commissions, sales, or profit you might make from the music. Instead of paying a fee of 10, 20, even up to 50% or more each time you use the music or sell it (use it commercially), royalty free music allows you to profit as much as you want, and usually you only need to pay once for the music.

Just for your information, royalty free does not mean free. So many people confuse these two words, and really don't understand the meaning of royalty free. You can however have royalty free music that IS free, but most is paid for upfront. Some royalty free music comes with guidelines and restrictions, so I really advise you to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into first. Check out what different websites have to offer. You are looking for the features and restrictions. Can you use the music and make money from it and profit from it? Do you mind shouting people out every time you use the music? What sorts of restrictions come with the music? Make sure you start to ask yourself these questions before buying royalty free music.

A lot of royalty free music site are the set up in fairly the same way, but then you have websites that have the membership style, like BeatsRoyaltyFree.com. There you can pay once, then download as much music and beats as you want, and you never have to pay royalties, give them credit, or anything like that.

Buying royalty free music is a smart decision, because it's just so much less hassle and BS than most other contractual music buying services. Need a beat for a video production? Just download a royalty free beat, add it to your video or song or production, and post your project online, commercially.

However, one thing you should definitely take a look at is the word "commercial". You WANT the beats and music to be commercial-use. This means you can profit from it and make money from it. Some royalty free music allows you to use the music, but not commercially. This sounds crazy, but it does indeed happen out there.
