So I decided to make my own background music and offer it to other creators, like yourself, as well. I got tired of scouring the web for songs that were both safe to use and affordable. That’s actually why I started Music for Makers. (Soundcloud is a popular example.) But if you want to monetize a video on YouTube or otherwise profit from it in some way, you must use a song with a license that allows for commercial use.Īnd - spoiler alert - those kinds of tracks are pretty hard to find when your budget is $0. Many websites offer free music that you can legally use in your personal videos. Recommended: How to Choose the Best Music for Your Video »
