Got Bars? Now Get
Paid
So you've got
punchlines that hit hard and hooks that stick like gum on a subway seat?
Congrats—but bars alone don’t pay the bills. Welcome to the world where your rhymes
= revenue. If you're itchin’ to turn those verses into value, this post's
gonna break down how to monetize your lyrics like a pro—typos and all
(hey, we keep it human here).
Whether you’re a
seasoned songwriter or just someone who scribbles rhymes on napkins, it’s time
to flip your pen game into a paycheck.
Lyric Licensing: Passive Money Machine
You write it once, it
pays forever. That’s the beauty of lyric licensing. If your lyrics have
vibe and value, artists, ad agencies, and indie filmmakers might just wanna pay
to use them.
- Sign up on platforms like Songtradr or Music Gateway.
- Upload your lyrics and tag with proper
metadata.
- Every time someone licenses your work? 💰 You earn.
📱 Sell Lyrics Online (Yep, That’s a Thing)
Selling lyrics isn’t
shady—it's strategy. You can list your lyrics for sale on niche marketplaces or
social platforms where indie artists hang out:
- Fiverr / Upwork: Offer custom lyric writing gigs.
- Facebook & Reddit groups: Post samples and direct link back to your
blog or portfolio.
🔥 Tip: Link your lyrics on your own blog, like LyricSupply,
so clients can see you're legit.
Publishing Royalties: Secure That Bag Long-Term
Get your lyrics published
and you unlock a pipeline of performance, sync, and mechanical royalties.
- Register with a Performing Rights
Organization (PRO) like BMI, ASCAP, or PRS.
- Upload your original lyrics and claim your
share whenever they’re performed or used commercially.
It’s a slow game, but
trust—publishing is the long money in music.
Collaborate with Beatmakers & Vocalists
Lyrics with no beat =
poetry. Still powerful, but collab with the right music producers and
now you’ve got a product.
- Team up with rising producers on
SoundCloud or TikTok.
- Offer lyrics in exchange for equal
split royalties or upfront payments.
- Post your collaborations back on your blog
like LyricSupply to promote your catalog.
Start a Lyric Blog (Oh Wait, You Did Already!)
Writing about lyrics,
breaking down songs, and explaining the stories behind your rhymes? Yup, that’s
content gold.
- Add affiliate links to music tools
or gear.
- Review new songs and drop your own lyric projects in the post.
This method creates a personal
brand around your lyric craft and builds an audience of fans and clients
alike.
Bonus: Turn Pain into Payment with Emotion-Based Lyrics
Feeling heartbreak?
Joy? Rage? Convert emotions into relatable lyrics, and then...
- Submit them to sync libraries for TV/film
placement.
- Pitch them to artists looking for emotional
content.
- Use your site LyricSupply to showcase deep lyrics that hit home—and hit wallets.
Final Rhyme: Words Are Worth It
Your lyrics ain’t just
words—they're assets. Each line you write could land a deal, a sync
placement, a blog feature, or even go viral.
But only if you monetize
smartly.
So stop lettin’ your
verses gather digital dust. License them, sell them, blog them, and get that
bag. And remember, home base is always:
👉 LyrcSupply
Let your rhymes work
as hard as you do.
