How do I get paid?

There are a number of ways you cold be paid, as discussed in the “How to make money singing on the Internet” manual, however one of the most secure would be to create a one-page site and, using Paypal or another Internet merchant of your choice, you could create an “order Now” button which links to the audio file you have completed. That way the file will be delivered to your client at the same time as you get paid.


How do I set up a web page to do this?

My advice is to get hold of a teenager Internet geek and get him/her to do this for you. Children are so savvy these days and would love the opportunity! Make sure you either pay them or give some sort of exchange for the work. But they will give you much value for money. Otherwise find a friend. Remember you can always barter if you’re broke.


What happens if I get emotional or upset while doing my recording?

The best advice in any situation if you are upset or misemotional is to take a walk! This little free piece of therapy is so effective that it is overlooked by all of us. And while you are walking, start naming the things around you. This helps you to extrovert your attention outwards. Do this until you feel better or have a win. Then go back to your task. It works like a dream!


What do I do if my vocal doesn’t record onto the track?

Check with the computer’s mixer console. Click the “start” button, then “All Programs” then “Accessories” then “Entertainment”. Here you will find a tap for “Volume control”. This brings up a console window. Make sure that the “mute” buttons at the bottom are al clear (not checked). This is usually the reason that the software you are using won’t record sound.

I will post more questions and answers as they come in from you. Please feel free to check out my blog on the link below for more info.
