I've been helping musicians license their music for over 15 years, and I've noticed a distinct pattern. Some musicians break through and land multiple placements in TV, film, and commercials. Others struggle for years and never see real results.
What's the difference?
It's not talent. It's not luck.
It all comes down to one thing: taking consistent action.
A study by Duke University found that habits drive about 40% of our daily actions. Success in any industry, especially sync licensing, isn't about a single big move. It's about showing up every day, refining your approach, and consistently doing the work.
A report from Berklee College of Music on career success in the music industry emphasizes the importance of ongoing networking and building relationships. The study suggests that musicians who actively engage with others in the industry and stay informed about current trends
increase their chances of securing opportunities compared to those who remain isolated.
Sync licensing is no different. Music supervisors and licensing companies receive thousands of submissions. The artists who succeed aren't the ones who submit a track once or twice and just hope for the best. They are the ones who keep going, even when they don't see immediate results.
They keep networking. They pitching their music. They keep refining their craft. They keep taking action. And eventually they succeed.
As a Berklee College of Music alumnus, I've seen firsthand how persistence and consistent action shape careers. I've personally worked with musicians who landed placements after their 50th, 75th, 100th submission, or even more.
Others simply give up way too soon.
That's the difference.
Those who succeed keep pushing forward until they achieve success. Not where you want to be yet? Keep going. It's really that simple.
If you haven't sent out at least 10 to 20 submissions this month, you're already
behind.
And if you're not sure where to send your music or how to reach the right people, that's an even bigger problem.

This is why I created The Sync Tank.
Starting Monday, February 17, for 90 days, I'll be working one-on-one with a small group of musicians to help them build momentum and finally start landing placements. I keep the groups very small on purpose, so that everyone I work with gets as much attention and
help as possible.
