When many people start creating their own music they immediately post it on YouTube. Well that's fine and dandy, but often that doesn't earn them very much money. Even if you earn a few dollars though partnership with YouTube, that won't pay the bills.
Granted there are a few musicians who make it to the top. Take Justin Bieber for example. But even he occasionally faces the difficulty of constantly appeasing his audience. One day he will have to reinvent himself just to keep himself on top of the music scene.
Having a music career should be a wonderful experience for anyone who pursues it. But for many it just won't pay the bills. Therefore, I suggest musicians create background music for video games. The video game industry is booming and making money from this line of work should be rather easy. The royalties alone should be able to pay the bills while you figure out where you will perform your next concert. This way you won't have to worry about merchandising when you're creating your next multi-million dollar song.
So if you are a musician, take some time and create background music for video games. You won't regret it.
