Why 90 Days to Monetize AI Music? The Importance of Building on Stone, Not Sand
When it comes to monetizing AI music or content creation, the desire to see immediate revenue is understandable. Many creators ask, “Why wait 90 days to make money? Why not much sooner?” The answer lies in one of my favorite philosophies: building your house on stone, not sand. Quick wins might seem appealing, but sustainable success requires a solid foundation. This is why a 90-day strategy is key to creating a lasting revenue stream.
Consistency: The First Key to Organic Growth
The first essential element of building a solid foundation is consistency. Success in AI music and content creation is not just about the number of posts but the quality, structure, and value each post provides. It's about consistently delivering content that resonates with your target audience. This signals to both the platform algorithms and your followers that you’re a reliable and trustworthy source.
Here’s what consistency looks like in practice:
-
Regular Posting Schedule: Whether it's daily, weekly, or bi-weekly, the key is to find a rhythm you can maintain and stick to it. Consistency builds trust and anticipation with your audience.
-
Value-Driven Content: Make sure each post solves a problem, provides new insights, or inspires your audience. Every piece of content should have a purpose.
-
Structured Series: Consider organizing your content into series or dedicated pages. This creates continuity and makes it easier for your audience to follow and consume your content.
Choosing the Right Platforms: Thinking Long-Term
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that choosing the right platforms for your content isn’t just about what you can handle now, but what you’ll be able to manage days and months from now. Here’s a reality check: consistent engagement, when done well, will often double or triple your actions per platform every month. As your presence grows, so will the number of comments, messages, and interactions requiring your attention.
Not all platforms are created equal. Some, like Twitter, demand high levels of engagement right from the start. You might find yourself responding to tweets or engaging with content 5-10 times a day. Platforms like YouTube, on the other hand, might allow you to start with just three videos per week while building up engagement gradually. The difference in effort can significantly impact your ability to remain consistent across multiple platforms.
When I first started, I aimed to be on as many platforms as possible because I had the time for all of them. I was everywhere: Reddit, Pinterest, even Quora. However, as my engagement grew, I found myself stretched too thin, unable to consistently provide the level of quality content and interaction each platform required. I eventually made the difficult decision to cut some platforms off completely, choosing to focus on the ones that fit my ability to create quality content consistently.
Lesson learned: When choosing platforms, consider the long-term implications. A manageable workload on day one can quickly become overwhelming as your audience grows. It's better to start small and focus on platforms that align with your ability to engage effectively over time.
Why Not Make Money Sooner? The Foundation Matters
Sure, there are ways to monetize sooner—through ads, quick promotions, or leveraging an existing follower base. However, those methods often don't lead to lasting success. The 90-day strategy focuses on building a solid foundation. This period is your chance to experiment, gather data, and refine your approach. It’s about setting up a structure that can support sustainable growth rather than chasing quick wins.
During these 90 days, your priorities should include:
-
Keyword Research: Discover what terms your audience is searching for. This will help tailor your content to what people actually want to see.
-
Audience Engagement: Learn what topics resonate with your audience. Use this period to build relationships and understand the kind of content that generates the most interest.
-
Competition Research: Analyze other creators in the AI music space. See what’s working for them and identify gaps that you can fill with your unique approach.
Algorithms Reward Consistency
The algorithms behind platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Spotify all reward creators who show up consistently and engage with their audience. Here’s how consistency affects algorithm-driven growth:
-
Regular Interaction: Algorithms favor creators who post regularly. This consistency signals that you’re an active, reliable source, increasing the likelihood of your content being recommended to new viewers.
-
Engagement Signals: Valuable content that generates likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions sends strong engagement signals to the algorithm, prompting it to push your content to a wider audience.
-
Retention: Algorithms prioritize content that retains viewers. By consistently offering value, you improve your chances of being featured on “recommended” or “trending” sections of platforms.
Preparing for Engagement Growth
Another critical aspect of consistency is preparing for the growth in engagement. As you put out valuable content, more people will start identifying with your brand and connecting with you. This means more comments, questions, and direct messages that require responses. If you’re not ready for this increase in interactions, it can quickly become overwhelming.
Your choice of platforms will significantly impact how you handle this engagement. For example, Twitter may require frequent, daily interactions, while a platform like YouTube might allow for more manageable, structured responses through comments on fewer but higher-value videos. Understanding these nuances will help you make informed decisions on where to focus your efforts.
