Why I stopped doing stock music full time
The time has come for me to admit that I do stock music part time.
I’ve been doing stock music full time for the past 5 years. And even though it’s still my main source of income, I had to cut down my working hours.
If you have been following me, you know that I work from home, and my studio is in the living room of my home.
I am also a stay-at-home dad, meaning that when my wife is at work, I take care of both my daughter Phaedra (almost 9 years old) and Melina (1 year old)
Over the last year or so, it has been very difficult to keep doing stock music full time because of family life and the challenges of woking from home.
I know that with THAT I relate to a lot of people out there.
Maybe you have a day job and other responsibilities,
maybe you want to do stock music on side, and
maybe you are looking to earn some passive income to supplement your paycheck.
I want to show you that it is POSSIBLE even if you have very little time at your disposal.

Hey Daniel.
Thanks for making this video.
Your perspective is incredibly valuable !
I want to get into stock music !
I’m composing music for a while now.
I have many ideas, and have made
tracks, but haven’t been successful
putting them on libraries at all.
I am registered with SOCAN,
not all my tracks are.
I even considered, just putting
songs on Youtube for Royalty
Free use just to attract listeners,
thought my production was ‘alright’.
Nothing happened though,
*Dont have the time ./ money to take
more courses on music production really.
It’s difficult, I’m probably going to be forced
to go into working on something that I’m not
really that passionate about. But hey!
That’s life for a lot of people… I guess it’ll
be like that for a bit for me.
Thank you,
Hector Perez
