It's Who You Know!
Published: Mon, 04/28/08
I'm sure you've heard the expression before that in the music business "it's who you know". There is some truth to this idea but it doesn't mean that if you don't already know someone working in the business that you can't get to know them. The music business is a business that consists of a vast network of relationships and the more people you have in your network of business relationships the more opportunities you will find coming your way. But EVERYONE starts at the beginning so to speak, so don't worry if you don't already know the right people. Get to know them! You can very easily start introducing yourself and building relationships by being proactive and promoting yourself. It worked for me and I know it can work for you too! PS - You can access all my products and services here.
The first step to licensing your music is to start submitting your music to people working in the industry. Over the last few years I've put together a very comprehensive directory of places to submit your music in the TV and Film Music Business. This directory is a priceless resource that will provide you with specific information on how to get your music to the right people and companies who can get your music placed. Check it out here.
If you're already pretty business savvy and you have songs that you feel are high quality and ready to be pitched, all you'll need is the directory. It has over 125 listings and is updated regularly. When you buy the directory you get free updates for life. It's a great directory and I use it myself on a regular basis!
And if you're really serious about getting started in the music licensing business, the most comprehensive program I have is called "The A-Z Of Music Licensing". This program comes with a hard copy of the directory, the how to CD, and several additional bonus discs about the music licensing business. The program is available by itself or with one on one coaching from me. I'll work with you to help you develop a specific game plan that is tailored to your own unique situation that you can implement immediately to achieve your goals.
The A-Z Of Music Licensing is also available online for a discount of more than 20% off of the hard copy version. Get the entire program for less than $40.00! The Online Program is also available with coaching as well!
Until Next Time.... Happy Songwriting
