I recently learned that a client of HTLYM landed a licensing deal that to date has earned her over 30k for just one song!  This particular client signed up for one of my programs several years ago and as a result of that program landed a publishing deal with someone who signed several of her tracks.  Her tracks sat in that library for several years, not being used, until eventually one track started getting used over and over and over again. 

I’m working on setting up a podcast and interview with the composer of the track to tell her story and share her music with you all.  In the meantime, I wanted to talk about the importance of being patient when getting started in music licensing.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, music licensing is a marathon, not a sprint.  Success in music licensing, real success, is a long-term game.  It’s just the nature of the business. Chances are you probably won’t jump into this and have huge success overnight.  It could happen.  I’m sure there are probably a few examples of this happening.  But generally speaking, you’re going to have to work at this for a few years to see a substantial return on your investment.  In literally every single music licensing success story I know of, this has been the case.

Of course, you might license your music right out of the gate.  Even in my case, I licensed my first track fairly quickly.  But it took years for it to become something substantial that I could rely in.  This will most likely be the case for you as well.  It simply takes time to create a large enough catalog, sign them with publishers/libraries, etc and have them generate enough placements to make significant money.

If music licensing is something you truly aspire to do as a career, give yourself time to create enough quality tracks and sign them with enough companies to see the fruits of your labor pay off.  Far too often writers simply give up after trying for a few months and not seeing anything happen.   Think of your music licensing career as a snowball.  Initially as you’re pushing it forward, it’s going to be very small.  But if you persist it will gradually turn into something more and more substantial.

I'm loving all of this content. This is one of the few courses that I've paid for where I feel like it over delivered.

Here’s what another member said…

 

Hey Aaron.

I finally had a chance over the last few days to check out the new site in some depth, and wow man, I’m really blown away!

 

Very nicely done my man.  Everything is laid out simply but professionally, easy to use and navigate, and works seamlessly.

You’ve made a friend, fan and client for life.

Starting next month and going into 2020 we’re going to be increasing our prices for several important reasons: One reason is that our prices are so much lower than other similar programs out there that it’s pretty unbelievable at this point.  I’m in touch with many of our clients who have also enrolled in other programs that are being offered that are as much as 20x higher than what we charge for our membership.  In fact, multiple clients have suggested we raise our prices when they discover just how in depth and extensive our material is compared to other programs they've signed up for.  You know it’s time to change your prices when your own clients are telling you that you don’t charge enough!

Secondly, and equally as important, is that truth be told, there are extensive costs that go into doing what we do and offering the training we provide.  We have a small team of people working for the site at this point, and in order to continue to grow and expand, we need to continue to invest back into our resource in the form of creating new courses, hiring new speakers and educators, improving and updating our website and so on.

So, with all that said, if you’re not yet a member of HTLYM Premium, be sure to join now to lock in the lowest price we’ll ever be offering our member site for.   I guarantee your membership will bring you much more value than what you’ll pay to join.
