I've learnt so much as an independent, full-time musician and I have condensed 15 years of releasing music into this course. Thanks for watching!

Great video thanks for that. I found this channel from your collaboration with Frogleap. Work hard, get paid! Work smarter, not harder too!
I already am a devotee, but unfortunately a very broke one. So I will make sure to send some people your way.

Very impressive information for hard working musicians!!
Wowowoow Tomó Sensei! Awesome u r here.
Agreed
Tomo! You are an awesome teacher. Thanks for all of your help

Feels like the world is at the palm of my hand when Tomo and Mary (both my favorite guitarist in youtube) are in same video comments! :D
I'm neither a musician or a TH-cam content creator. And I'm absolutely fascinated with this explanation. Thanks, Mary!
Same, I scrolled through contents to be sure I wasn't going to add to scroll by repeating something that's already been said. Sometimes I need videos like this to remind me to leave content creation to the people that understand or have the time/energy to learn it.
I was just going to write the same thing but you said it. I would like to add though, I got lost midway through but sounds like a perfect explanation. Keep on keepin' on Mary!
And yet insanely The major labels who do basically NOTHING are making 2.56 MILLION DOLLARS AN HOUR. Anyone see something truly ROTTEN with this comparison.?
What a surprise, another rigged system where the big fish take the money and the little ones do the work. Copyright laws are supposed to encourage creating various works, but they can also be used like a real vacuum hose to redistribute from the 99% to the 1%.
It shows that TH-cam begins to carry a heavyweight legacy no different than regular media
God Mary this is so incredibly helpful, thank you so much.
I'm 38 and gave up my music dreams in my mid 20s, only to find myself feeling empty a couple years ago. I'm attempting to get back in now with some friends and figured doing some TH-cam content to supplement the music would be a good path to make something happen, at least get a bit of remuneration for the efforts, and YOUR content is by far the most helpful I've found by a LONG shot! Thanks so much!
"It's all a big club and... you ain't in it!" George Carlin
I think you would kill it as an Audio Book narrator. Your voice is just so soothing 😌😌😌
I thought the exact same thing.
Yes, beautiful voice.
Yes..yes ..yes !!!😊
100% agree
She has a stunning speaking voice, not to mention singing. Jealous, but in a good way!
She is so articulate, and her music is beautiful.
Right? She'd be a perfect person to do complex tutorial videos
Yeah! You found the right word: articulate! She is so articulate, indeed. And cool...
Articulation and that I am not young anymore sure dissuades me from putting up content. I need to get over myself.... I still need to do "all the things"....I'm not dead yet. :)
Thank you, Mary! For clarity and honesty! Love your videos and your music! :)
There's few things more empowering to the working class than knowing how much each other's work is valued by society. I'm not a follower, though I know bits of your content and I really appreciate when people can be transparent and outspoken like this.
Listen to EVERYONE follow no one.
Yes. It is very refreshing.
Right now it's 7am on a Saturday in my country, but MarySpenderDaily is on my notifications so that means practicing session has to start right now!!

@@SiSoy14 what
You said you were unsure why you suddenly started getting a lot more views. I can explain that easily. Sultans of Swing. That cover really got you noticed, and it remains one of Leo's best covers and a great video too. That single video was the reason I and many follow you both.
Keep up the great work. You deserve the recognition.
e I gave this girl my link still hasnt written me
That´s absolutly correct !
Mary might have been known before but that was the video when I got aware of her . I have to admit that Leo´s Version of " Sultans of Swing " only came out as it is now because of Mary´s voice and attitude . She gave the song or the rough version the original soul back again . Don´t get me wrong , Loe is an incredible Musician and to me he appears funnily weird but Mary´s voice and attitude made the song perfect . The combination of the rough sound and her harmonic Voice gave the song the I-point on that already perfect song . If anyone would take only one Part away this would be useless . For example you would off Leo´s voice it would be hard to listen . Also it would be if you would take away Mary´s voice . This song was a perfect example that it is possible to bring back an old famous song in a different way and it gets skyrocket in the charts . But you ´ll need openminded creators and people who are a contrast to each other . That´s what you find on that song . Leo´s rough sound and Mary´s harmonic voice and attitude .
@Mary Spender : Did you learn anything of Leo about the Music industry and what was that ?
Absolutely. I hadn't heard of either of them until I got recommended that video. Now I have subscribed to both. That video had such incredible chemistry. I saw someone's reaction video to it get recommended just yesterday. And it's the vid I use to recommend either of them.
The video that led me to follow was a guitar shop visit.

I used to love watching Mary for her brilliant musical talent. Now i find myself watching her for her informative insight into the music industry. I just love everything about her . More power to you Mary
Smart as a fresh coat of paint she is.
I’ve been learning how to grow my music channel as well, so this helps a lot. I appreciate you willing to share this info. Thank you Mary!
Wonderful, insightful, and informative-plus inspiring! Thank you, Mary.
Gonna have to watch this a few times to wrap my head around all of the ins and outs. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for your honesty , and being upfront , and educating the TH-cam platform , on what to expect Shane uk 🇬🇧
You have the most lovely voice, and I haven’t heard you sing yet.
Extremely refreshing to hear your openness about this subject! And I love the diversity of your content. Thank you, and stay safe, healthy, and happy :)
I love your versions of the songs you post, your angelic voice, and your wisdom that you share. Thank you!!!
@Mary Spender
- thank you for your forthright approach and honesty it is totally appreciated
Thank you for uploading this information!
Misha 🙏
This was extremely fascinating. Thank you for this “look behind the curtain” we rarely get to see from content creators here on TH-cam! Your videos quality continues to get better.
Wow, thanks for explaining how it all works. There's so many moving parts to this that I'd never even considered. Thanks for breaking it down in a way we could easily understand it!
Thank you Mary for your honesty and openness. I hope you continue to realize how important your channel is to so many people or how truly important it is to a few.
So nice of you to help others on what mistakes to avoid. Love your content, your wonderful sense of humour and I must complement you on your lovely speaking voice (and singing of course). Keep it up.
This was a super interesting and educating watch...thanks for making us aware of things to watch out for Mary! 😊🖤
Mary, thanks for your openness and willingness to share. I'm one of those "head in the sand" folk who love to make music but look the other way when if comes to the business side of things. Good to see someone come from that same perspective and make the turn around into becoming an active participant in managing your business affairs. Going to check out your DIY to releasing music.
I genuinely enjoyed this video. You being direct and direct, no fuzzy/vague statements. It reveals a realistic look behind the curtains of TH-cam content creators and musicians. Thank you for the insights.
This is my first video of yours I've seen, but massive thank you for such a clear, honest and simple explanation for all who need it (or who are curious), I'm really impressed by the quality of your content.
Fantastic to see someone being so transparent and prepared to share such valuable information for other musicians/creators. Great job Mary.
It's all about finding videos such as this one, real, factual, human, information based on (Mary's) honesty....thumbs up girl.
Thank you so much. I am among the throng of fans and followers that greatly appreciates your willingness to share your personal journey. You are a true gift and an inspiration!
Great Job!!! Really appreciate the information. Love your videos, you were built for this. I've never been on Patreon but I'm going over there right now to support your efforts. If I were your dad, I'd be very impressed with what you have worked hard to grow and I'd be very proud. Well done...
Mary you are so articulate and have a gentle flow when speaking, makes it easy to understand what you're telling your viewers.. Thank you for taking the time to make and post in very informative Video on how to managed your TH-cam channel and get the most out of it. ♪♫♪
Thank you so much. I teach computer science in a Utah Junior High School and I have several students interested in musical and/or TH-cam stardom. I want to help them move toward those goals and I appreciate your honest presentation of some challenging realities. I'll be sharing and discussing this video with my students.
Thank you again!
That is a great wrap up and superb advice Mary.Thank you.Ross
Thank you so much for posting this video Mary, it was extremely informative and eye-opening.
Well constructed and explains why you have to weigh options and why everyone on TH-cam isn’t rich. Honesty and transparency. Love this video also your not pretentious and your honest. Sharing your experiences and the way to look at this issue is impressive. Thanks for explaining the art.
I’ve wondered from time to time about how revenue is generated. Thanks for sharing the inside scoop.
Wow that’s a lot of information! Thank you for the deep dive into the nitty gritty of being an independent musician/songwriter/online creative.
Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your creative and musical talent and for being so transparent.
Dude this is exactly the content I'm looking for. Could you do a vid on analytics and how to interpret them as a musician, like reaching a certain audience, getting popular in a certain niche? This series is awesome!
Thanks Mary, this was so informative and I appreciate you sharing a lot of information that you didn’t have to. As a TH-camr starting out I might have to refer back to this video at some point if I’m lucky!
You're such a sweet person, Mary. Thank you so much!
TH-cam was such a wonderful platform. Then Google bought them. Absolutely RUINED the platform. Thanks for sharing your information and your musical talent.
Yup! YT peaked around 2008!
@Optic Axis True, but it’s also what most founders of very successful businesses do - build the business, sell it to the highest bidder when it reaches peak investment potential. The TH-cam founders/owners are as much responsible as Google - they knew Google would pay big bucks so they could more effectively monetise the platform.
TH-cam made drastic changes just a couple of years ago, that made more profit for them (and Google), and less for content creators.
This video changed me from a fan to a devotee...
Hard same.
I greatly appreciate your honesty and transparency, Mary. I'm as much a fan of your personal character as I am of your music and the quality of your video editing. :)
You deserve many times over your naught point naught naught one pence per mill in adsense revenue.

@@gregtheflyingwhale6480 What. The actual...???!
@@stanvanillo9831 ok, boomer
Thanks for posting and your humility in sharing what you've learned.
SO helpful! What an amazing overview of moving numbers around and navigating monetization methods as a YT'er and musician. Thank you!
Really helpful info Mary. Happy new year 🥳
Your videos are incredibly well made! You must put so much time and effort in. You are amazing! 🙂
She's smart and talented.
Wow! Honesty and sincerity. Great video, thanks
A real eye opener, and a great service to your fellow musicians and You Tubers.
Wow, this is one of the most succinctly informative thing I've ever seen on the tube.
I've reported this person impersonating Mary, wtf
@@tomheylen2651 it didn't make sense that she would reply in that manner
I just discovered this treasure know as Mary. I tell everyone about her. She is amazing, beautiful inside and out, and very talented.
Very generous of you to share your info, Mary.
Wonderful video, thanks a lot. Your channel is pretty much the counterpart of the many higher, faster, further channels out there. I like how relaxed and factual content is provided by you
I am a new subscriber Mary and I love how you explained this so that everyone can understand it. I stumbled upon Sultans of Swing and it led me to you. Keep doing what your doing! LOVE IT!
Wasn't that with Leo Moracchioli???🤔
Gosh, you are such a strong role model Mary. I really enjoy what you do & how you're doing it.
@@shayjohnson5830 Jealous?😳
Love your honesty Mary. Thank you!
This is a mind-blowing video!
I’m a poet and I’m pondering this now...
Thank you so much for sharing!
Why can’t every TH-camr be this clear, honest and informative? Thanks for posting this explanation.
Why the f should they do that. What people make is none of your buisness
Being good at what you do is a different ability from being articulate enough to talk about what you do or tell people what they need to do to get better. A combination of the two would make you even a better example for the followers and Mary seems to enjoy a high level of both of these.
Extremely eye opening and informative. Can't thank you enough for sharing this info and your honest opinions with us!
I really appreciate this information Mary. Thank you!
"Openly and honestly" and for free! They're great values, thank you. By the way, what beach is that at the end, Mary?
Wow, this seems like a very complicated maze to navigate. I'm all about DYI and completely avoiding major labels. I've heard so many horror stories down through the years about really great musicians being totally ripped off by the majors. It's really sad. Fortunately, there are avenues for independent artists but, obviously, we need to watch our own backs and help each other out along the road. That's why I really appreciate your efforts in giving guidance to the rest of us. Thanks Mary.
thanx for saving me a comment.
Mary's a Babe and great player.
Horror stories like Badfinger’s.
a point, ray, worth noting: if you compose, protect your copyright.
1st thing using a published song requires permission from the holder of the content.
But the arraignment you do must also be copyrighted. Or the originator can use it and sue you. Yes there is a difference
Then use it and release that version and sell a million copies.
Paying the holder for fair use does not work. Had a friend do that in the 70s.
He got sued for all of the profit from the 150,000 copies he sold. He was a factory worker vs a multi-million dollar corporation.
Then I had to look for another job. So did he.
Neilsson was not the originator of Me and and my Arrow. He got sued by the originator. The lawyers bankrupted the originator.
Then he owned it. Works the same with industry. TV and the Weed Eater are prime examples.
George C. Ballas, Sr. and Philo T. Farnsworth ended up bankrupt defending their patent. Same thing happens to songwriters.
Congress: for the business, by the business and written by the business.
The artists that claim to have been ripped off by major labels failed to read the contracts they signed. Many just dove in and signed without reading.
Thanks for breaking this down.... Very helpful. You're awesome.
I'm subscribing. You deserve success
Great information! Thanks for sharing!!
I love electric guitar. It's the most emotive and expressive instrument I know.
man...I wish our politicians and corporate CEOs in the USA were this transparent!! Stuff like this is why I am your fan!!
People stealing from you and extorting you seldom are. It's kind of a litmus test for people.
They are deliberately obtuse...
They over promise and under deliver...
Awesome breakdown of the landscape. Found your channel through your collabs with Leo. As someone new to the field (karaoke and learning guitar/drums) the subjects of how to protect your creations and copyright/dmca related take-downs is quite intimidating. Thank you for posting this!
Fascinating information. Thanks for sharing this.
That was interesting. I know a few you tubers that make..well a lot of money for nonsense that that I would not even watch. Now I enjoy your videos immensely . Keep it up..happy New Year
still scratching my head!!!
Thanks Mary! Keep it up!!
You are so generous with your journey, thank you, be well.
The TH-cam music system is so broken. I'm glad you came up with a workaround for your own music.
all the more reason for being a patron.
Thanks Mary. You’re awesome! Cheers.
Beautiful video my best friend 👏🏼 keep up your great work 😘
I learned more from Mary in 12 minutes than I did in 4 years of schooling. Thanks Mary!
@Mary Spender Scam alert!!! Are you from Nigeria?
I'm not a tuber but always found it interesting how the music-oriented videos fare in YT. This was very educative with fresh information. I hope the combined streams of income are sufficient for you, as it's clear how much work goes into your videos and your art, which is just phenomenal. You deserve to get paid well for all this. Would be curious to hear how much you will have earned from this video once it passes 1 million views - will not take too long, I think!
Great info, Mary! Thanks for taking the time pass on your experience.
Great information and presentation! Thanks!
Great content as always, Mary. How/when do you set aside time to review and respond to comments while still being able to make music and videos? It seems liked it'd take up a lot of time and could distract from creating, but it's clearly a necessary aspect of being a TH-camr. Perhaps you could do a video on this so we can see how you factor it into your day/week?
Justin I can answer that question: If Mary wants to make a livable wage she HAS to do something other than make music. The major labels EACH of them (there are three) are making $2.56 million dollars an HOUR. So the money that should be going to people like Mary Spender who are doing the valuable work is actually not going to people like her. The money is going to giant corporations who do basically nothing. So she HAS to do something other than make music or she'll starve.
Here before a million views
Good for you.
Been a fan of both of you for years. You've inspired me to follow my dream and make music of my own. Once I'm ready to show the world what I've been doing I hope you'll be my fan too.
Same
I dropped my pick as soon as I read this comment, now I can't find it. Send help.
Tyler rocks!
Great Info, very handy to know. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the information! Very kind of you to share 😁
Mary could be reading the ingredients of an energy drink and I’d listen closely. Super informative topic! Great speaking voice, great intelligence. Oh, the music is pretty great too!! Thank you!
We will turn Mary Spender into Mary Earner. She deserves it for her excellent uploads.
You're a bright spark indeed Mary! I could never keep up with you. Thanks for this very informative vlog and, Best of luck on TH-cam!! ✌️😁
Solid take on the business, thank you. Great voice too!
Thank you so much for posting and sharing this information! Love your channel!
Thanks for this video Mary. It was really, really interesting to get a sense of how the TH-cam thing works for musicians. I'd always imagined a million views would net you something greater. That said, it could probably be a lot worse.
Keep it up. You have a great channel.
This is the kind of video you show to folks who are like, "Being a TH-camr isn't a full time job."
This is a great video, Mary. Thank you so much.
Good on you Mary! Stay strong and real!❤
I love when she says: "tuesday talks" ( with her beaultiful british accent).
Mary, as always, takes us all to church, drops bombs of wisdom, with her elequence...
Eloquence.
Awesome - thanks so much. Keep going.
