How To Make $450/Day Selling AI Music (Spotify, YouTube, Apple, Tidal)

Imagine waking up to see notifications on your phone: “You earned $127 from Spotify,” “$89 from Apple Music,” or even “$92 from Amazon Music” all while you were fast asleep.

Sounds like a dream? Not anymore.

Today, I’ll show you how to make up to $450 per day in passive income by creating and selling AI-generated music even if you’ve never written a song, played an instrument, or recorded your voice.

Let’s dive in. 🎵

Real Proof, Real Artist

I’m not just sharing theory I’m doing this under my artist name Sandy Rocket. You can even check out my latest AI-generated music video (linked here). That way, you’ll get a feel for what we’re about to do.

This is a step-by-step beginner-friendly guide to help you turn your smartphone, tablet, or laptop into a music-generating money machine.

Step 1: Create Your AI Song (No Skills Needed!)

This is where your AI music journey begins.

🎵 Pick a Genre & Niche

Choose a genre that’s popular and enjoyable for you this makes it sustainable. Think:

Lo-fi Beats
Meditation Music
Workout Tracks
Inspirational or Gospel
Even Reggae or EDM

Personally, I do Christian and inspirational songs, but I mix genres.

Method 1: Use ChatGPT + Suno AI

You’ll write custom lyrics using ChatGPT, then turn those lyrics into a full song using Suno AI.

Example:

Ask ChatGPT:

“Write a catchy song for Nike’s ad campaign.”

You can change “Nike” to any brand, school, or business. Just use Google to get background info and feed it into ChatGPT.

Then head to Suno AI and:

Select Create → Custom
Paste your ChatGPT-generated lyrics
Hit Create
Choose from 2 generated songs (regenerate if needed)

🎧 Sample Lyrics Generated:

“Blood, sweat, grit on the ground / That’s the sound of destiny found / I’m unstoppable, breaking through the limits…”

Powerful, right?

Method 2: Use Suno’s “Simple” Mode

Want a super easy method? Use Suno’s Simple mode.

Go to Create → Simple
Type a prompt like: “Write a pop song about finding love in the summer”
Click Create
Pick from the two results

🎵 You’ll get a full song with lyrics, melody, and vocals instantly.

Even a 5-year-old could do this!

Method 3: Mimic Any Artist’s Style

With ChatGPT, you can generate lyrics in the style of your favorite artist:

“Write a reggae song like Bob Marley about unity and peace.”

Then paste the lyrics into Suno AI, select:

Genre: Reggae
Voice: Smooth Male Vocals (to mimic Marley’s vibe)

Boom! You’ve got a brand-new track that sounds inspired and not copied.

Step 2: Create Stunning Cover Art with Kit AI

Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music require professional album art.

Use Kit AI (free with limitations):

Ask ChatGPT: “Give me a 3D image generation prompt for a song titled [Your Song Title] by [Your Artist Name].”
In Kit:
- Start a new project → Choose Standard Template
- Use the Fluke 1.1 Pro image generator
- Paste the prompt → Set to Ultra HD
- Export at 3000x3000px JPEG (required by music platforms)

💡 Just like that, you’ve got high-quality, industry-standard cover art.

📢 Bonus Tip: Promote Your AI Music

Even though I haven’t done serious marketing yet, my songs are getting streams purely from organic discovery on social platforms. Later on, I’ll share tips to run ads or build an audience around your music. But for now, you don’t need a fanbase to get started. You just need action.
