How To Get Your First Placement

Published: Wed, 05/07/14





 
Without a doubt, getting your first placement is the hardest of all placements. It's hard to get started in any business that you don't have a track record in. It feels sort of like perusing the help wanted section of a newspaper and looking at hundreds of job openings that all require experience you don't have.

How do you get experience in an industry when most positions that would give you experience require prior experience?  It seems like one big catch 22!

Technically speaking, it's not a pre-requisite that you've previously licensed music in order to license your music, although it does make it a lot easier. Once you have a track record of licensing your music it becomes much easier to get your music heard and licensed in subsequent placements.

So how do you get that first placement?  

What I've seen work for myself and many others is to strategically plant as many seeds as possible when you're first getting started.

I rarely hear of someone who through happenstance gets a placement out of nowhere. I'm sure it happens every once in a while.  But what's more effective is to systematically submit your music to places that you're a good fit for, on a regular basis until you have initial success.

This is how I got started and I've seen this same strategy work for dozens of others over the last several years.

If you want to participate in a systematic process for getting started in the music licensing business, join me in the next 90 Day Challenge Music Licensing Master Class that's starting on May 11th.

I've extended the time frame to pre-register and save $50.00 off the upcoming 90 Day Music Licensing Challenge until Friday.

Then, every day for 90 days, you'll get a different lead of a specific place to submit your music.  Each lead will contain the name of the company, info about the company, how to submit your music and how to follow up.

Throughout the duration of the program you'll receive different video tutorials that cover different aspects of the music licensing business and things you need to know to successfully license your music.  I cover everything from publishing, music supervision, music production, types of deals, co-writing and much more.  

Throughout the program you'll also have access to me via email for any questions or issues that come up.

Then, at the end of the program, we'll touch base for one more half hour telephone consultation to discuss your results and how to continue your success going forward.
