How Much Money You Can Make By Licensing Your Music

Published: Tue, 01/27/09

Hi ,
 
When it comes to licensing your music for use in television, you can make as little several hundred dollars, or as much as several thousand dollars per placement.  I have received as little as about $350.00 for one song that was used briefly in a daytime TV show and as much as $3,000.00 for a song that was used in a different show and featured very prominently.  Of course these figures are based on when the show initially airs and if and when a TV show is rebroadcast you receive another check!  I know one writer who still receives checks for a song he wrote for an HBO movie thirteen years ago!
 
When it comes to films in theatrical release, independent writers usually receive at least three to four thousand dollars per song used.  There are no performance royalties for films in theatrical release but if you're song is used in a soundtrack you will receive royalties for CD sales and if and when the film is played on television you will receive performance royalties for your music at that time.
 
Want more in depth information on how to successfully license your music in TV and Films?  I have a one of a kind program that covers in detail EVERYTHING you need to know to get started in this exciting business.  I created the original program over a year ago and the program walks you through, step by step, the actions you need to take to license your music for use in TV and Films.  You won't find a more comprehensive program on the music licensing business.
