Shivers Up And Down My Spine

Published: Fri, 04/17/09

I spend a lot of time talking about the technical side of the music licensing business.  How the business works.  How deals are structured.  How you get paid.  Who you need to contact.  Etc...

If you´ve been on my list and you´ve been reading my emails, I hope you´ve been following my advice and taking some of the steps I´ve been suggesting.  I frequently get emails from people who are on my list or have bought one of my products that have successfully licensed their music or have successfully placed their music with a production library and are on their way to success.  I love reading those emails, so please keep them coming!
 
Today though I want to talk about the sheer thrill of succeeding and actually hearing your music on TV or in a Film.  For me, it´s not really about the money at all.  Making money from music is nice, no doubt about it. But to be honest, I can think of many easier ways to make money than from music licensing, or from the music business in general.
 
I´ve done a lot of interesting things in my life.  I´ve jumped out of airplanes.  I´ve traveled extensively.  I´ve fallen in love more than once.  I´ve performed for thousands of people.  And I´ve heard my songs on national television multiple times.  The first time I heard my music on TV still ranks up there as one of my proudest accomplishments.  It´s very exhilarating to hear your music being broadcast into millions of people´s homes live, in real time. I get shivers up and down my spine just thinking about it.
 
If you have been attempting to license your music and you´ve yet to succeed I encourage you to keep going.  Many people give up in life right before they could have acheived success. The author Seth Godin describes this as the dip.  It´s the point when most people give up. The last thing you want to do is to invest a ton of time and energy into something and then give up when success is right around the corner. It´s a waste of time and energy.  So don´t let that happen to you. I know how frustrating this business can be at times, but every step forward and accomplishment makes all the frustration worthwhile.
 
If you're interested in learning how to license your music I've created a one of a kind program that explains in detail how to start licensing your music.  The program includes a how to audio program, an audio interview with a leading industry insider and a comprehensive directory of supervisors, publishers, music libraries and more who are in the business of licensing music. If you're interested in licensing your songs, you simply won't find a better resource for aiding you in getting started in the industry. It's taken me a LOT of time to accumulate the knowledge presented in this program and it will make your entry into the music licensing business MUCH, MUCH easier.
