Hi ,

 

Yesterday I received a royalty check for a little over $700.00 for one of my songs.  I've received checks for much larger and I've received checks for much smaller.  But the beauty of this particular royalty payment is that it was for a song that I wrote close to four years ago.  This is the fourth time the song has been used! 

 

The ability to create a passive income stream from your music is one of the coolest things about music licensing.  In addition to the sheer thrill of hearing your music on TV, or elsewhere, there is also the real possibility of creating a stream of income that will grow over time.  A friend of mine that I went to Berklee with once had a song in a Chili's commercial that aired repeatedly, every day, for months. Kaching! My check yesterday was for a song that was used twice in spots that were around 30 seconds long, just to give you an idea.

 

If you've already purchased my TV/Film directory, I hope you're using it.  Please let me know of your success stories so I can share them with everyone.  If you haven't ordered the directory, be sure to order one. It's a priceless resource that will allow you to get your music in the right hands.  If you need additional help, that is beyond the scope of what I offer in my free newsletter and website, I also offer coaching services at pretty nominal fees to work with you and your particular situation.

 

Or, if music business coaching is not within your budget, check out my new CD program that covers all the HOW TO aspects of getting started in music licensing.  This program covers everything you need to know to get started.  It's based on over five years of knowledge that I've acquired from working in the business.  It's very affordably priced, and if you're not quite sure how to get started it will answer all your questions.

 

Until Next Time... Happy Songwriting.
