For Musicians, Producers, and Audio Creatives Who Want More From their Audio Skills

Stop Playing for “Exposure” and Start Getting Paid for Your Music Skills

If you’re tired of doing favors, discount gigs, or “exposure” projects with nothing to show for it, Rockstar Revenue gives you a clear, honest path forward.​

Rockstar Revenue is a practical guide for musicians and producers who want to earn a real income and build a recognizable personal brand with their studio and music skills, without chasing fame or gaming the algorithm.​

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Move beyond trading hours for studio time and design income streams that don’t depend on constant grind.​
  • Package your skills—recording, mixing, producing, arranging—into services, offers, and digital products that scale.​
  • Build a personal brand that attracts the right artists and clients, even if you feel unknown in your scene right now.​
  • Deal with imposter feelings and perfectionism so you can release work, raise your rates, and promote yourself without feeling fake.​
  • Start with simple, low‑risk steps instead of complex funnels, big budgets, or “growth hacks.”​

This book is written for working and aspiring music‑makers: producers, engineers, session players, composers, and self‑recording artists who want their creative life to pay their bills with integrity.​

You don’t need to be famous, go viral, or post content all day. You just need a clear plan, a focused offer, and a way to communicate your value

"This book is a great, easy-to-read overview of the strategies that Bjorgvin has used to make Audio Issues such a success over the years, and how we can use those same methods ourselves. He tells amusingly honest, relatable stories from his own career as examples, laying out a complete road-map for how how anyone can get started doing the same, especially if you come from a creative background like music - in as little as three weeks. Highly recommended !"

"I have been getting business advice from Björgvin for 10 years now. His straight-to-the-point, no BS approach and lack of candy coating has helped me make better business decisions, all while remaining true to myself. Very excited to add Rockstar Revenue to my toolbox."

"Bjorgvin has done it again-simplified some great business strategies to help get your entrepreneurial journey off the ground. His expert analysis of how to auto-pilot your products hits home on so many levels for the average business person that is stretched too thin ( like me!) I especially appreciated his case studies (see the toilet scroll one in chapter 4!). Great read and clear, quick ideas that are easily implemented."

"Rockstar Revenue somehow manages to pack decades of real-world business experience into an easy to read and highly actionable guide for artists, creatives, and any aspiring entrepreneur. This book won’t waste your time - it can easily be read in a day. But don’t mistake short for incomplete. The author gets to the point about each core principle for independent business success without adding a bunch of fluff. This book if perfect for creators wanting to make a living from their art and work, but need a place to start without getting sidetracked with distractions. Diligently applying even just a couple of the lessons in the book will give you years of wealth and freedom."

Here's How I Monetized My Creative Skills In the Audio Industry Without Being Sleazy and Annoying

Here's How I Monetized My Creative Skills In the Audio Industry Without Being Sleazy and Annoying

Hey, I’m Björgvin Benediktsson.

When I lost my savings in the 2008 recession, I was just a broke audio engineer from Iceland with a dream and a domain name.

I started writing. I shared what I was learning. That blog became a business, that business became books and courses, and over time, those products generated over $1,000,000 in revenue.

All without a fancy studio, a huge team, or a record deal.

In Rockstar Revenue, I break down exactly how I did it - and how you can too.

This is not fluff. No overnight success BS. Just a clear, honest, creator-friendly guide to building income from your creative skills.

Here are a Few Things I've Achieved in My Business

Built An Email List With Over 40,000 Subscribers

What could you do with your creative skills if you had thousands of people wanting to hear from you every month?

Served Tens of Thousands of Paying Customers

How would your life be different if you could sell a few copies of a digital product every day?

Wrote a #1 Best-Selling Book With 1,000+ Ratings

What opportunities would open up if you could sell your expertise as an author?

Built a System That Drives Daily Sales

What could you achieve if you had sales coming in every day that didn't need more of your time?

Brands I've Worked With

Inside Rockstar Revenue, you’ll discover:

  • How to identify what people will actually pay you for

  • The 4 “P” Framework for building a product-based business

  • How to price, package, and launch your offer without burning out

  • Why imposter syndrome is your brain’s way of protecting your genius (and how to ignore it)

  • Real-world examples, exercises, and templates to get your ideas off the ground fast

This book has helped hundreds of creators stop spinning their wheels and start earning more—without becoming someone they’re not.

“But I’m not an expert
”

Perfect. You don’t need to be. You just need to be a few steps ahead of the person you want to help.

“I don’t have an audience.”

No problem. This book shows you how to build one, without dancing on Reels or cold DMing strangers.

“I’ve tried before and failed.”

So did I. That’s why I wrote this. To help you skip the mistakes and get to the good stuff faster.

You've Played For Applause and Exposure

Now it's Time to Play for Profit

If you’ve got creative skills, you’ve already done the hard part.

Now it’s time to learn how to get paid for them—consistently, ethically, and without losing your mind.

Hit the button below and let’s make your art pay the bills.

"I run a marketing agency and work with a lot of creatives, so I’m always on the lookout for ways to grow without burning out. Rockstar Revenue really delivered on that. Björgvin’s 4P framework is super practical, and his real-life stories - like how he accidentally turned a side project into a $25k product - make the advice stick. I especially got a lot out of the sections on beating self-doubt and creating products that keep selling in the background. The writing feels casual and motivating, not salesy or preachy, which made it easy to read and apply. I came away inspired and with clear next steps for my own business. I’d recommend it to any freelancer, entrepreneur, or creative who’s tired of trading hours for dollars and wants a clear path to more freedom and income."

Make Your Music Skills Pay: Client Projects, Digital Products, and a Brand That Sticks

You can be great at music and still be broke. Not because you’re failing, but because the industry doesn’t hand you a business model. Rockstar Revenue is the missing part: how to package your skills, market them without sounding fake, and build income you can repeat.

You’ve got real skills. Maybe you produce. Maybe you mix. Maybe you write, perform, teach, or coach. You’ve put in the hours, improved your craft, and still
 the income part can feel random.

Some months are great. Other months are “I guess I’m eating confidence for dinner.”

If you’ve tried piecing together money from client work, streaming, and posting more content, you already know the problem: talent isn’t the bottleneck. Consistency is.

Most musicians and producers aren’t missing motivation. They’re missing three things:

  • A clear offer people understand quickly

  • A simple way to get in front of the right people without living on social media

  • A system that lets your skills earn more than once (client work plus products you can sell repeatedly)

That’s what Rockstar Revenue is about.

Not “get rich quick.” Not “go viral.” Just a practical approach to turning your studio skills into income and building a personal brand that feels like you, not a marketing costume.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Package your skills into offers that sell (services and digital products)

  • Use story-based marketing that sounds like a human wrote it

  • Build a brand people remember because it’s specific, not louder

  • Create repeatable revenue without being online 24/7

If you want your music career to be more than gigs + hope + occasional magic, this is the playbook.

What Have People Said About My Business and Marketing Advice?

"...my first online course launch wouldn't have been the same without him. That course sold over $14,000 in the first couple weeks."

"With his online business experience and achievements, Björgvin has been a real model to follow. The content he provides is phenomenal and helps me a lot by giving me ideas and direction on how to organize, monetize and implement my online platform as an artist and entrepreneur. He helped me tweak the sales page copy for my first online course launch I did via email and it wouldn't have been the same without him. That course sold over $14,000 in the first couple weeks."

-Chris Selim, Creator of Mixdown Online and The Ultimate Guide to Cubase. Montreal, Canada

"tens of thousands of dollars in extra business just from random people that had forgotten about me. It was weird how it instantly worked!"

"Like most audio engineers, I tend to be a little more audio-nerd than entrepreneur. Because of this, I frequently have "small business blind spots" which Björgvin has helped me to see and overcome. When he speaks, I take notes. His advice on writing and email marketing has dramatically changed my business. I don’t think anyone has anywhere near as much experience as he does...You have had a huge impact on me learning how to write decent emails and the benefit to my business was just bananas. It was tens of thousands of dollars in extra business just from random people that had forgotten about me. It was weird how it instantly worked!"​

-Chris Graham, Mastering Engineer and Co-Host of the Six Figure Creative Podcast. Columbus, Ohio

The 365-Day Iron-Clad Audio Issues Guarantee

I wrote Rockstar Revenue to help musicians and producers stop guessing and start building a business that works.

I know this approach works not only because it's worked for me, but also because it's what I've taught hundreds of students over the years.

But...if you go through the book and don’t walk away with at least one clear idea you can implement to earn more from your skills, I haven’t done my job.

So here’s the deal:

Try it out. Read it. Take notes. Highlight it aggressively.

If you don’t feel it was worth your investment, email me, and I’ll refund your money, no questions asked.

I also know that this stuff takes time, so you can even read the whole book, keep it for a WHOLE YEAR to test out all the strategies, and if still doesn't work for you, email me and let me know and I'll refund your money. 

No hoops. No guilt. No awkward emails.

If it’s not useful to you, just let me know, and I’ll refund you.

I stand behind the work. And I want you to feel confident taking the next step.

Here’s to building a music career that actually pays.

 

Hi there đŸ€˜,

I’m Björgvin Benediktsson. I’m an author, educator, and entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience running a seven-figure online business in the music industry. I’m also the Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management and Mentor-in-Residence at the UA Center for Innovation. My work has been featured in The Huffington Post, MusicTech Magazine, and at the TENWEST Impact Festival and Phoenix Startup Week.

Since 2009, I’ve built and grown my online business from a simple blog making a few cents to a seven-figure brand—primarily through digital products.

Now, I want to help you do the same.

The core mission behind my work is to teach creative entrepreneurs like you:

  • How to market & sell without feeling sleazy
  • How to overcome imposter syndrome & grow with confidence
  • How to build a sustainable business in today’s digital landscape

Looking forward to helping you out!
