I Was Drinking When I Wrote This So Excuse Me If I Go Astray

Hi ,
 
I just had a couple glasses of wine and I started contemplating the business of music licensing, my newsletter and the music business in general.  My thoughts are really flowing clearly, at least I think, so I've decided to put them down in the form of this newsletter to you.  Here I go...
 
I've been writing this newsletter for over a year now and if you've been on my email list that long you'll know that I have dispensed tons of useful advice about the music licensing business.  I've covered a lot of ground and I've given you a lot of useful advice about how to get your music in TV and Films.   But today I want to talk about why you should license your music, as opposed to how. 
 
You see, I think in many ways we are probably a lot alike.  We have a common bond, which is the love of making music.  I have been writing songs and playing guitar for over twenty years.  It is without a doubt the longest relationship I have had in my life, with the exception of the relationship I have with my parents and sibling.  I developed a love for music and making music at a very young age.  When I heard certain songs it would evoke emotions that would seem to transport me to another realm.  It was magical and I decided very early on that I wanted to be a part of that process and make music that would effect other people the same way.
 
As I've gotten older, I'm currently 34, I've held onto that dream.  Albeit the dream has changed and evolved over the years, but the basic goal is the same, to make music that moves other people.  I assume this your basic goal as well.  To make music that other people enjoy.  Oh, and I assume you want to get paid for your music as well, I know I do.
 
Music licensing is a great business because whatever your goals are and whatever stage you are at in your career it will help you move forward.  It will also help you get a sense of how the music industry works and what kinds of songs are marketable.  It's competitive, but it's a lot easier to break into than the recording industry.  In fact, I think it's an attainable goal for you and every single person on my list.  I really believe that.  I don't think that all of my subscribers will be successful in licensing their music, but they could be and you could be too if you understood and took the necessary steps. 
 
What are the steps you need to take?  I have a program that covers in detail everything you need to know to successfully license your music and this weekend only when you buy any of my products you will get the same product for free.  This includes the products I offer that include coaching.  And this is probably just the wine talking, but I really want to help you succeed, so I've decided to make you a ridiculously generous offer that I can guarantee you unequivocally, without any reservations, that I will not be making again, ever. Really.  If you buy my program, The A To Z Of Music Licensing, today or tomorrow I will also include FREE email coaching as well.  What is email coaching?  Basically the way it works is once you review the program we correspond via email and I help you develop a strategy for moving forward and getting your music licensed. I normally charge $75.00 for this version of my program but will include this service completely free when you purchase the A To Z of Music Licensing.   
 
Here's what I suggest you do to take advantage of this offer.  When you get The A To Z of Music Licensing you will also be able to send a free copy to the friend of your choice.  I suggest you send it to a band mate or someone you are collaborating with, maybe an engineer or producer.  This way you'll both be able to review the program and you'll both be able to work with me via email as well.  Networking and collaborating has been a huge part of my success in the licensing business and this is a great way to get started working with other people towards a common goal of licensing your music.
