How To Get Your Songs In TV and Films!

Published: Mon, 05/19/08

If You're Ready To Start Making Money With Your Music And Get Your Music Heard All Over The World, This Might Just Be The Most Important Letter You'll Ever Read...

Dear ,
I have some questions for you:

·Would You Like To Earn More Money With Your Music?

·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, Make Money And Get More Exposure?

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.

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 get to love to do... for money.

It feels good to know that there is a NEED for your music.

It just feels very rewarding to know that you're on the right track.

Most Musicians Will Never Learn
How To Make An Adequate Living
From Their Music... Not
Because They're Not Good Enough..
They Just Won't Take The Time To
Learn How To Take Their Career Into
Their Own Hands...

Most musicians 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.  I'm saying this because it's true.  Unless you have an AMAZING manager or are VERY lucky, the odds are simply stacked against you.  But there is a way to avoid this pitfall!

What's the solution?

You HAVE to learn how to take matters into your own hands. 

You can't sit around and wait for someone to discover you!  It's NOT going to happen.  However, the good news is YOU CAN succeed if you take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for your music career.

How I Took Responsibility
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. 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.


Get Your Songs Placed In TV and Film
Getting your songs placed in Television shows and films can be a wonderful source of supplemental income for musicians, or even a full time income in many cases.  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.  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.

How You Get Paid
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.

How You Can Take Responsibility
Based on my experience of working in the music licensing business for over five years, I have put together a one of a kind package that covers, in detail, how to get started in the business of music licensing.  This package is the most comprehensive product available on the business of music licensing.

What's the price for an amazing program like this? Well, even though it has taken me over five 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 $54.95.  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 this on your tax return!!)
