Rockstar Revenue is your backstage pass to ditching the burnout and building a creative business that actually pays the billsâwithout selling your soul, hawking snake oil, or DMing strangers like a weirdo.
Written by Björgvin Benediktssonâa small-town Icelander who went from broke audio nerd to six-figure online business ownerâthis book blends street-smart strategies with indie hustle wisdom. With two decades of experience, from backstage studios at Bonnaroo to blog posts that built a global brand, he shows you how to turn your passion into products that pay while you sleep.
Inside, youâll learn how to:
-
Escape the time-for-money trap and build income streams that donât rely on burnout
-
Package your hard-earned skills into digital products that scale (even if you feel like a nobody)
-
Overcome imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the myth that "real artists donât care about money"
-
Start simple, start fastâwithout a marketing degree, VC funding, or a winged unicorn
Whether youâre a musician, freelancer, coach, creator, or âmulti-hyphenate human tornado of talent,â this book is your no-BS blueprint for financial freedomâon your terms.
- You donât need to be famous. You just need to be helpful.
- You donât need 10,000 followers. You need a plan.
- And you definitely donât need to grind 80 hours a week in the name of âhustle.â

How to Earn More From Your Creative Skills Without Feeling Like a Sellout
Youâve got creative chops. Maybe you produce, maybe you perform, maybe you coach or teach or write. Youâve spent years honing your craftâbut somehow, your bank account didnât get the memo.
Youâve tried the client hustle, the streaming hustle, the social media hustle⊠and all youâve got to show for it is burnout, second-guessing, and maybe a few too many âexposure bucks.â
Itâs frustrating, isnât it?
Youâve got the skillsâbut no system.
The passionâbut no plan.
And honestly? Youâre tired of pretending that more plugins will fix the fact that your creative business still feels like a garage band instead of a real gig.
- You want freedom.
- You want consistency.
- You want revenue that rolls inâeven when youâre not glued to your DAW at 2 a.m.
Sound familiar?
The real problem isnât your talent. Itâs that no one taught you how to turn your skills into a real business. A business that doesnât rely on begging for gigs, chasing clients, or living launch to launch.
The music industry (and most creative industries) werenât built to help creators thriveâthey were built to keep us hungry, grateful, and replaceable.
That ends now.
Imagine Actually Making Money From Your Skills
Imagine waking up to Stripe notifications instead of deadline anxiety.
Imagine selling digital products while you sleep, while you tour, or while you binge Stranger Things for the third time.
Imagine having a business that fits your lifestyleânot the other way around.
What if your art, your skills, and your hard-won wisdom could become a sustainable income stream⊠without selling your soul or becoming a TikTok growth hacker?
Hey, Iâm 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.

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