Thanks Villain,

I will just say that I have never paid for ReverbNation's pro plan and I have never paid for SongTradr, not by a long stretch. My streaming income (not to mention paid downloads) has more than covered all costs.

HOWEVER, the most I have made streaming-wise, and it was a nice chunk of change, was for an album I wrote in two days when my Mom said:

"Could you just write me a soothing album of soothing classical music on that little classical guitar of yours and put some soothing strings with it to help me relax?? For Christmas??"

I literally spun up 12 songs in two days, blindfolded, put almost no thought into it, and put it out for distribution and gave my mom a hard copy CD. People were streaming it like crazy for a while and I could not believe how much I was getting really.

So I am working on some more "soothing" albums.

BUT--and this is the big one, I NEVER got as much as I did for that 3 minute ukulele bit that was licensed for a Chinese soap commercial.

That one made my eyeballs pop open.
