Hi,

Firstly, this is my 1st post and I'm so sorry if I post on the wrong thread. I got a couple of questions here and I do need help from you guys.

Question 1.

The Content/Files

I've music website and I need to know where can I get musician lists that must be a starter band. I check on my country in Malaysia and there a some website make music community like myspace and music portal too. I already talked with them about what I need and they said the content can be share but must have the credit on my website. I can do that, just I dont like other people work. So, do someone know international music site that allowed other webmaster share the music files (mp3, audio, video)? I do not host this files on my server, but I host it on other hosting provider that give me some revenue in this industry for covering my cost on this project.

Question 2.

How to make money/revenue using music website?

I search all about music on google, mmd, bhw, other music community too. Sure they make money with Advertise using PPC from Google Adsense or other PPC too. I'm afraid if I put my content from other website and google ban me because of the copyright. What I have in my mind now is PPV and PPD. Can anyone here tell me what will you do for making money using music website?

raised two linked problems: where to source shareable tracks and how to monetize them without running afoul of rights holders. was right to flag legal risk — ad networks and hosts will disable publishers that display copyrighted content without permission. See Google’s publisher policies on copyrighted material for details. ()

A practical, low‑risk catalog strategy is threefold: 1) use truly open licences (Creative Commons) and verify the exact deed before reuse; 2) use curated CC collections such as the Free Music Archive and follow their license guide; 3) buy clear commercial licenses when needed (Jamendo is an example of a marketplace that sells sync/background licenses). Each track’s licence must be recorded and retained. Creative Commons — Free Music Archive – License Guide — Jamendo Licensing. (creativecommons.org)

Prefer embeds and licenseed storefronts to re‑hosting MP3s. Platforms offer embeddable players so the file stays with the uploader and usage is tracked: SoundCloud provides an oEmbed/widget workflow but its terms restrict aggregating others’ catalogs into a site that replicates SoundCloud; Bandcamp supports exclusive/embed players that drive sales back to artists. Use the platform embed code and link back to the artist/store rather than dropping files on a server without written permission. SoundCloud oEmbed docs — SoundCloud Terms — Bandcamp embed help. ()

Monetization beyond simple PPC: direct sales/merch via Bandcamp, memberships or patronage (Patreon), sponsored artist features, affiliate deals (gear, courses, tickets), and sync licensing for video/ads. When approaching bands, request a written license that names: rights granted, territory, duration, permitted uses (stream/download/sync), revenue split (if any), hosting location, required credits, and a DMCA/contact point — keep signed email or PDF. For larger or commercial blanket performance use, consult PROs (ASCAP/BMI) about site/app licenses. Bandcamp guide — Patreon billing/creator docs — BMI licensing (websites/apps). (bandcamp.com)

Note: ignore generic marketing posts such as ’s link; this project needs concrete licensing and permission workflows, not generic SEO advice.

The answer to your first question I can't help you with. If I understand you correctly, you want to offer music files that are already offered elsewhere on the web, but don't know where to get them from? Why would someone use your site versus any of the other sites that have already been hosting the files all this time? What unique service are you providing?

The easiest way to begin making money from your site is with Google AdSense. If you feel you won't be able to have AdSense advertising because Google would consider it illegal, you have more than Google to worry about. If it's illegal, then it's illegal. Your hosting company won't allow it either, and ultimately you could even end up with a lawsuit on your hands.
