Monetization strategies extend beyond subscriptions to include virtual merchandise, ticketed digital concerts, in-app purchases, and licensing for films, games, and advertisements. Music is increasingly integrated into cross-platform entertainment ecosystems, from gaming and AR/VR experiences to social media campaigns, providing diverse revenue streams. Data analytics and AI also allow platforms to optimize content promotion, playlist curation, and fan engagement.
