HOW IT WORKS

Basically this website was launched to promote artists who want their music to be recognized and build a fan base on a global level. These artists pay a certain fee to promote their music and to build a fan base by submitting their songs to the portal and generating follower-ship. The users can also sign up as fans to listen to music of their own choice. These users or fans are then paid by the website to listen to music of such amateur artists. The recordings are mostly only 30 seconds long. The website pays a few cents per song. Since you want to earn online, you would be signing up as a fan.

THINGS TO KNOW

Musicxray is a fairly easy website to play with. However, there are a few points that you should know before you start.

• You cannot listen to a song for less than 30 seconds, if you do that then you will not be credited with money.
• After listening to the track, you can either become a fan or decline, either way you will still receive the payment for the track you listened to.
• It best if you change your music preferences weekly because this way you will keep getting more tracks to listen to.

GETTING PAID

Musicxray allows users to cash out their payments through PayPal only. The minimum threshold for a payout is $20. Users have the option of cashing out multiple times.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Musicxray.com is a legitimate website (registered with BBB) where users can earn money by listening to music. The user doesn’t get much from listening to a single song. 10 cents per song doesn’t sound much but this can accumulate into a decent amount of money in long run. A user can earn around $10 per day if he /she gives it a suitable amount of time. It’s that easy. So go on and put your headphones on and start earning.
