A Tip For Getting More Of Your Songs Placed In TV/Film
Published: Wed, 06/11/08
Today I just have a quick tip on how you can get more of your songs that you are pitching placed. It's a real simple tip. Are you ready? Ok... here we go. Make sure that when you submit songs to either publishers, supervisors, etc. that you always have an instrumental version of the song you are submitting on hand and ready to go. Why? Because occasionally songs will get licensed and the vocal part will be re-recorded on top of the original instrumental track. This isn't neccesarily common, but it does happen. Your job as a songwriter is to make it as easy as possible for people to work with you and the more prepared you are for possible situations like this that might arise, the better.
Do you want to learn more about how to get your music licensed and start creating a passive income stream with your music? 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!
If you're really serious about getting started in the music licensing business, I suggest getting my program called "The A-Z Of Music Licensing". This program comes with a hard copy of the directory, a how to CD, and several additional bonus discs about the music licensing business, including a special interview with a music licensing industry insider. 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!
And finally, if you're in need of just one on one coaching to help you get started, I also offer my coaching/consulation services by themselves. And I'm not saying this as a sales pitch but my rates are going up soon, I've been told by several other people in the industry that I charge far too little for this service. So I plan to raise my rates but honestly I've just been too busy and haven't had a chance to update my coaching page with my new rates!

Until Next Time.... Happy Songwriting!
