Musicians make money off royalties primarily through the use of their recorded music, which can be played on various platforms such as radio, streaming services, and in movies or commercials. Each time a song is played or sold, the songwriter and performer earn a percentage of the revenue generated, which is collected and distributed by performing rights organizations. Additionally, mechanical royalties are earned from physical sales and digital downloads. Overall, royalties provide a continuous stream of income as long as the music remains in circulation.

No. If you write something, you automatically own the copyright to your work (unless you have previously assigned it to someone else). However, copyright is just the first step in being able to collect royalties from your work. Performance-rights organizations like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC are (ostensibly) in the business of collecting royalties from the live performance or playback of copyrighted music (in public venues, on radio, television or on the internet) and distributing the royalties that they have collected to the composers and publishers, proportionally to the size of the audience and the number of times the music is played.
Song writers do not receive much in royalties for writing a song they receive about 9 cents for a song if it gets put on a CD and also get paid for when it's played in concerts, theaters, etc. But if they make on average about $5000 a year in royalties but $5000 is better than nothing. And if their song is a a million dollar record they receive a little over $22,000 for that song.
