The EASIEST Ways To Earn Extra Cash Online...

You’ve probably played this game many times with friends and family but did you know that you can get paid to write jingles and you can do this from home? Yes, companies will pay you as a jingle writer!

So what exactly does a jingle writer do?

In the simplest of terms, a jingle writer is someone who composes short musical catch phrases that are memorable for companies advertising their products or services. A classic example that you might remember is “I’m Lovin’ It” for McDonalds. 

Here are 5 ways that you can make money writing jingles from home. 

Write Jingles for Companies

Thousands of adverts are displayed on TV and heard on radio every year. Similarly, companies are offered the chance to promote their new and existing products on different media platforms and do this by using attractive visuals and memorable phrases. 

Making new adverts for various company products can be very expensive and time consuming, but with you creating just one catchy jingle the impact on a company brand can be very effective and extremely profitable.

You can offer your services directly to advertising companies through their relevant departments. If you have musical and writing experience this is the ideal time to produce demos to distribute to marketing and media agencies and become a known jingle writer.

Start a Business

Plan, develop and launch your very own jingle writing business. The chances of gaining full time employment to solely create jingles by a company is very competitive. But as a musical creative, you can offer jingle writing as an additional service within your portfolio.

Having your own business would mean access to clients in need of someone to write jingles not only for ads but for other means of entertainment. 

This can range from radio jingles, podcast jingles, and also YouTube intro jingles. You can share your skills both locally and internationally.

You can market your business by creating your own website and social media accounts by sharing your business details in forums to podcasters, YouTubers, music forums and marketing agencies.

If you’re a total beginner you can start on platforms like but make sure that you have the right audio equipment and quiet surroundings so that your recordings are crisp and clear. 

Another great site to promote your jingle writing business is Voices.com. Although this site is for voiceover work it does give you the chance to upload audio files for a whole production of styles from jingles, book readings, intros etc.

Become a Freelance Jingle Writer

People who are interested in hiring often work with freelancers that write jingles. This is perhaps your most successful chance of getting constant hires, however this depends on a few things. 

Will you be working independently or through a platform like Upwork and Fiverr

Working with an online based business in the beginning is a smart choice to get a feel of this new venture and gain the experience you’ll need to launch on your own in due time. 

Also, are your jingles based on a particular niche? It could range from movies, sports, finance, travel, auto, beauty and even Christmas jingles. 

It is best to be able to cover a range of niches with varying musical styles to show off your versatility when composing an attention-grabbing jingle.

Another good reason to cover more than one niche when writing jingles is that certain products and services are seasonal, meaning requests might slow down but as you would be writing jingles for different niches you should not be affected too much.

Start a Jingle Writing Blog

As an expert in your field, you can start a blog and give advice on how to make the perfect jingle while including samples. 

Having a jingle writing blog will not only allow you to share your knowledge if you're already an established jingle writer but you can earn money from clients and get referrals and by offering online how-to classes. 

You can also make money with your blog through ad revenues, affiliate marketing and subscriptions. 

This way you not only get to advertise your skills, but posting quality content will ensure your clients are entertained and you will have a steady stream of income. Check out these 7 Favorite Songwriting Blogs for Dashes of Inspiration.

Create and Promote Using Social Media

You don’t always have to have a blog or a website these days as social media has such a huge impact across the world.

Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, are great places to promote your jingle writing business. Using social media to earn a living, and creating and promoting your jingles on these platforms will help you gain the traction you need. 

In due time you’ll gain active followers boosting your sales and increasing traffic allowing you to earn more money.

Final Thoughts

I hope you found this unique way of creating an income useful. Getting paid to compose jingles is an excellent side hustle and a creative way to use your writing and musical talents to elevate a company’s brand.

It also doesn’t have to be expensive to start as there are open source software such as Audacity that you can use to record.

As long as you have a modern keyboard to create the music and a quiet place to work along with great writing skills you will be able to compose an ad-winning jingle.

If you know someone with a poetic and creative flair for writing jingles why not share this post with them so they can have another stream of income and have fun while doing it!
