We've been trained to make people pay for our music. We've been told we need to actively monetize everything we make. Well, what happens if you don't? What happens when you give away everything for free? Kevin MacLeod knows. Kevin is a music maker, computer coder, and creator of Incompetech.com, a site where you can go grab music for any kind of thing that you are making. For free. Created by Kevin. It's a royalty-free library that is up for grabs. Literally! Want to learn how to publish your music to the public domain or obtain a creative commons license so you can just....give your music away? He's got articles on how to do that. The thing is, when Kevin decided to go full-on "free-box at your neighbor's garage sale", he made money. Lots and lots of it. Because when millions of people are visiting your site to use your music every month, there are other ways to bring in some coin. Enjoy my conversation with the brilliant Kevin MacLeod!
