The Sync Licensing Readiness Quiz
Getting your music placed in TV shows, films, commercials, and video games is one of the best ways to earn passive income and gain exposure. But are you truly ready to succeed in the world of sync licensing?
Many musicians dive into music licensing without a clear strategy. They send their tracks to random libraries, overlook industry standards, or neglect important legal details. If you want to land consistent placements and start earning from your music, you need to be prepared.
Although you can learn a lot about music licensing as you go, the more prepared you are at the beginning, the smoother your
music licensing journey will be.
So how ready are you? Take this quick quiz and find out.
