How to find great music to use in your content

In a world of doom scrolling and quick fixes, how do you get someone to actually stay on your content long enough to turn them into fans or listen to what you have to say?

One element that makes a huge difference is the music that you use in your content.

Music creates the vibe. It immediately gives the viewer or listener something to grab onto, and it sets them up for the experience that they’re going to have with your content. 

In my opinion, loads of creators don’t spend long enough on this crucial step. You want to set the right mood. You want to be in charge of your “sonic branding”, and the right track can do this for you.

But here's the problem: finding music that elevates your content rather than making it sound like everyone else's is genuinely challenging.

Every content creator knows this frustration: you need a track that's professional, copyright-safe, and doesn't sound like every other video in your feed. 

Traditional licensing meant grovelling to publishers for rights and paying premium rates for basic usage. Modern platforms like Artlist, Musicbed, and Soundstripe solved the accessibility problem but created a new one: limited variety at scale.

I was recently approached by Audiosocket - a music library that I hadn’t used before. They asked me whether I’d be interested in trying their service, giving them some feedback, and potentially becoming an affiliate for them. This happens more frequently these days thanks to people enjoying my YouTube and podcast content, but I’m also always wary of saying “yes” to reach-outs like this.

My thoughts need to be my own, and I’m not going to be affiliated with a brand just so that I can make a few extra bucks. That’s not my M.O. 

So, I was in fact pleasantly surprised after using Audiosocket that I didn’t have to rip them to shreds for being terrible.

They are, in fact a great music library with an absolute stack of fantastic songs. 

What a relief that is. I can now happily talk about them, recommend them to you and be an affiliate without needing to sell my soul.
