Dear Fellow Songwriter,
I have some questions for you:
·Would You Like To Earn More Money With Your Music By Licensing Your Songs For Use In TV and Film?
·Do You Have A Catalog Of Songs That YOU'RE NOT Earning Income From?·Are You Tired Of Working Your Day Job While You Wait For That Elusive Record Deal That Might Never Come?
·Do You Think Your Music Is Good Enough To Compete In The Marketplace But Simply Aren't Sure Of How To Get It Out There?
·Are You Ready To Take Realistic Steps To Move Your Career Forward By Licensing Your Music While Making Money And Also Gaining More Exposure For Your Music At The Same Time?
If you answered "YES!" to any of these questions, then I have some important news for you...
Here’s The Bottom
Line...
NOT making money from what you're
passionate about sucks!
It leaves you feeling like you have no
power in your life.
Over time it can become very discouraging and
can rob you of the passion and determination you need to succeed in this
VERY competitive business.
It can cause you to question whether or
not you're on the right path.
It can lead many people to simply give
up on their dreams, despite possessing the necessary
talent that is needed to succeed.
On the other
hand...
There are few things more rewarding than getting paid
for what you love to do.
It feels great to get to wake up
EVERY DAY and do what you love to do... and get paid for
it.
It feels great to know that
there is a NEED for your music and that you know HOW to get paid for the
music you create.
Simply put, It just feels very rewarding to know
that you're on the right track and to see tangible, measurable progress as
you move towards your goals.
Unfortunately, Most Musicians Will Never Learn
How To Make An Adequate Living
From Their Music... Not
Because They're Not Good Enough... Not because
Their Music Isn't Great...
They Just Won't Take The Time To
Learn How To Take Their Career Into
Their Own Hands And Develop The Skills
Needed To Succesfully Market Their Music...
Licensing Your Music In TV and Films
My
name is Aaron Davison. I've been writing songs for over
fifteen years. I attended Berklee College of Music in the mid 1990's where
I majored in Songwriting and studied with some of the world's most
renowned Songwriting Professors, including both Pat Pattison and Jack
Perricone. It was during my time at Berklee that I was first introduced to the concept of writing songs for film and television
as a career. Although at the time I was mildly intrigued by the
possibility of this career path, it wasn't until eight years later that I
decided to seriously entertain the idea. At this point I had played in a
variety of bands and had still yet to achieve my elusive goal of
becoming a rock star. One day while surfing the Internet I came
across an article about a Berklee Alum who made a living, in part, writing
songs for Film and Television. This article inspired me to make a
serious effort to pursue the craft of writing music for Film and
Television. I realized that during all the time I had spent chasing
my dreams of rock and roll stardom I had passed over many more
attainable goals that could have helped me make a living doing what I love
to do most, playing music. I also realized that accomplishing these goals
would probably actually get me closer to where I wanted to be.
Within six months of reading the article I had signed my first licensing
deal with a publisher.
How You Get Paid When You License Your
Music
For television shows, each time a song is used on air a
performance royalty is generated. The royalty amount varies based on
a number of factors including the length of the segment as well as how
prominently it is used. Each performance generates both a writer's
and publisher's royalty. If you work with a music publisher you both
essentially get half of the entire royalty. If you are able to place
the music without the aid of a publisher you retain both the writer's
share and publisher's share of the performance royalty. Again, the amount
varies, but to give you an example the first song I had placed was in a
scene that lasted about :55 seconds on a daytime drama in 2002. The
royalty check I received for the placement was over $800.00! This
was in addition to a $500.00 licensing fee that I received from the
television show that the song was used on. Not bad for less than a minute
of airtime.
Why Most Musicians
Don't Earn An Adequate Living From Their Music
Most musicians
I know are shooting in the dark with their careers. They are waiting
for some sort of elusive success that will probably NEVER come. I'm
not saying this to scare you or to alarm you. I'm saying this
because it's true. Unless you have an AMAZING manager or are VERY
VERY lucky, the odds are simply stacked against you. There are
MILLIONS of other bands and artists that are trying to break into the
music business as well. But the good news is that MOST of the
competition will not take the necessary steps to succeed. This is
good news for YOU! You can set yourself apart by educating yourself
and taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for your own career.
What's the
solution?
You HAVE to learn how to
take matters into your own hands. Just writing a great song doesn't
guarantee that you're going to make any money from it or that anyone will
ever hear it!!
You can't sit around and wait for someone to
discover you! It's NOT going to happen. Really, it's not.
The odds about the same as winning the lottery. Have you ever won
the lottery? Well I haven't either! However, the good news is
YOU CAN succeed if you take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for your music
career.
Getting Your Songs Placed In TV And Film - A 20 Billion
Dollar A Year Business
Getting your
songs placed in Television shows and films can be a wonderful source of
income for musicians. Record sales have been declining for several years
now but the licensing and publishing aspect of the music industry has
never been stonger. The Music Licensing industry alone is
a 20 BILLION dollar a year market. That's
right. That's not a typo. I said 20 Billion dollars a
year! Check out the video below for more information on
the music licensing business:
These days there are endless opportunities to provide your music as background music for various mediums. From TV shows to movies to websites and video games, independent music is everywhere. The music industry, like all industries, is constantly changing and evolving. To survive, and eventually thrive, it's imperative that you stay abreast of the where the music industry is headed and stay on top of where the demand is for your music. Making a living as a musician can be an extremely challenging task, to say the least. I know it was for me for many years. But if you're driven enough and are smart about what you're doing, making a comfortable living is very attainable.
One of the most potentially lucrative avenues of making money as an independent musician is placing your music in media broadcasts like TV shows and films. And needless to say, it's very exciting to hear music you wrote being broadcast into millions of people's homes.

What's the price for an amazing program like this? Well,
even though it has taken me over six years to acquire the knowledge
and experience that you will be able to consume in a few days, I'm
offering this program for what I think is the very fair price of
$80.00 $40.00. You'll most likely make this
back many times over when you get your first licensing deal. You
spend money on strings, accessories, etc. Why not invest in a
product that will actually help you move your career to the next level??
(Oh and by the way, if you're making any money from your music at all you
can deduct the cost of this program on your tax return!!)

...
I think this is some wonderful information and
will soon be using it.
I will keep in-touch with possible questions and
updates on how well this works out for me.
Because of your course, I am currently
re-mastering some songs I have done to make them sound better,
copyrighting them and submitting them to the
contacts you have provided.
Thanks for a great course

Kilo Hello Aaron, I sent you an email a few weeks ago asking about
your thoughts of pitching my music ( Mostly Blues & Jazz
....But also Guitar intrumentals, folk, French cabaret,
Christmas and some Traditinal Country )and actually making
any money at the library thing. Your reply was that these genres
were not yours and you couldn't really comment on that domain
.
I apreciated your honest answer and went ahead
and bought your repertoire of libraries, publishers
etc...
Well here's the lowdown after 3 weeks of hard
work sending emails and submitting songs online and via CD
by mail.
I've signed deals for 27 songs and there's
another 60 or so that are being screened as I write this
email....
Mike Hey
