The Benefits Of Establishing Your Own Publishing Company
Whether you are a lone songwriter seeking out your own licensing opportunities or if you are working with a variety of artists in a managerial role, there are very clear benefits to forming your own publishing entity.
Typically publishers working in the licensing industry take 100% of the publisher's royalty and leave the remaining portion of the performance royalty, the "writer's royalty" for the songwriter. But this isn't always the case. I work with some companies that only take 50% of the publisher's royalty and leave the remaining 50% for either the writer or a co-publisher.
By forming your own publishing company you'll be in a position to take advantage of these types of situations. You'll also be positioned to license your music directly to supervisors and collect 100% of your publishing royalties in the event there is no other publishing company involved in the deal.
If you want to learn how to more about forming your own publishing company I have an audio program that is included free with the purchase of either my program,
