I think the most common way is from streaming and ads placed on the video on streaming platforms. All the other ones you mentioned doesn't really work.

How much does YouTube pay? I know it is very small compared to the cost of shooting a video. So the streams is not even worth it.

I do think that artists can gain money by posting their videos on YouTube, TikTok, and the like. It cannot be denied that they need a lot of subscribers and viewers to gain money online.

That's not an easy way to. make. money online because it's dependent on other people's decision to subscribe or. not.

It's not that easy for indie artists to gain much views on YouTube, but mainstream acts do.

That's because indie artists don't sing with English. Artists of other genres that sing with English always have views.

Nope. Indie artists means independent artists who are not signed or under any mainstream record labels. It's not about the language.

The artist may place the music video on YouTube. If there are many viewers, the artist may make some money. The artist may also send his/her videos to record producers for their review. These producers sometimes recommend singers to sing the theme songs for advertisements.
