Hello, my fellow fastlaners.
I got myself a copy of FL Studio a month and a half ago, I purchased a MIDI Keyboard, and I've been practicing making music almost every day.
I want to start selling music eventually (I don't know how long it will take me to get good enough, but that's beside the point, I think that I can become good enough to get paid for it in 2-3 months, maybe even less), but not in the typical way (making songs isn't really my thing).
What I am looking into instead is providing music services. Specifically, music for video content (webinars / ads / brand videos / any kind of video really). There are probably other ways of making use of this skill which I haven't thought about, but those will come later.
I have three questions about my plan:
1) Do you think this is a viable idea? Even if it ends up not working at all the skills I learn could be transferred to making regular music which is still fine, although it's not really my interest at the moment.
2) Where could I learn how to produce more "corporate" type of music? YT is plagued with "how to make a fire trap beat", and it seems impossible to find good tutorials for other types of music. I know I can listen to music that is currently around and figure it out by myself, but I'm wondering if there is a more direct approach.
3) Where do I find people who need music, aside from the typical freelance sites and platforms such as AudioJungle? Video agencies? Ad agencies? Anything else?
TL;DR: I'm learning how to make music and want to offer a valuable service to people through it.
